(Photo from Noel Rosal's Facebook page) LEGAZPI CITY - The city government here, with the participation of other government and non-government agencies, marked Valentine's Day by planting at least 3,500 tree seedlings. Some 1,000 people representing various government agencies and the private sector joined the 17th "Lakad Tanim Para sa Puso" tree planting activity in Barangay San Francisco. The participants included city government employees, officers and personnel of the Philippine National Police (PNP), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Bureau Fire Protection (BFP), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and other national government agencies as well as non-government organizations and business establishments. The city's tree planting program started a year after Typhoon Reming (Typhoon Durian) struck Albay province on Nov. 30, 2006 and left at least 1,500 people either dead or missing in this city alone, primarily due to rampaging floodwaters from the slopes of Mayon Volcano. Office of the City Environment and Natural Resources (OCENR) officer-in-charge, engineer Benjo Calleja, said in an interview that 2,800 planting materials were provided by his office and the City Agriculture Office (CAO), while 700 seedlings were supplied by the Energy Development Corporation (EDC). Calleja said the seedlings planted were those of talisay, narra, pili, atis, ogob, baligang and jackfruit. Mayor Geraldine Rosal, in her message during a short program, said the tree planting activity spearheaded by the city government was part of the reforestation and environmental protection program aimed at preserving natural resources in order to lessen the impact of global warming. "The Lakad Tanim Para sa Puso was started in 2007 after Super Typhoon Reming hit Legazpi City and after 15 years of yearly tree planting activities, we recorded already more than 100,000 different trees planted," she said. Rosal said the planted trees during the previous years are now fully-grown and standing tall in different areas of the city, particularly at the foot of Mt. Mayon, the top of Lignon Hill view deck, at the sanitary landfill in Barangay Banquerohan and the golf course in Barangay Padang. Rosal commended the participants, who have been regularly joining the city's tree-planting activities, even as she noted that these trees would serve as the residents' protection from the impact of natural calamities like floods and landslides. Some nine years ago, the City Legislative Council passed a resolution declaring Feb. 14 day of every year as Arbor Day of Legazpi. (PNA) }

The participants, who included city government employees, Philippine National Police personnel, and Sangguniang Kabataan and barangay officials, walked a one-kilometer stretch from the main road of Barangay San Francisco to the planting site in the same village. They planted at least 3,500 assorted fruit-bearing tree seedlings as well as "kamagong" and "baligang" on a public land. The seedlings were provided by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-Bicol. Mayor Noel E. Rosal said the annual tree planting activity spearheaded by the city government is part of their reforestation and environmental protection program aimed at preserving the natural resources "for a better tomorrow." "The 'Lakad Tanim Para sa Puso' was started in 2007 after Legazpi City was hit by super Typhoon Reming and after 15 years of the yearly tree planting activities, we recorded already almost 100,000 different trees planted," he said in an interview.

Some eight years ago, the City Legislative Council adopted a resolution declaring February 14 every year, the feast day of St. Valentine, as Legazpi's Arbor Day. (PNA) }
