“Atong dipinsahan ang atung kinaiyahan kay adunay ginaingun nga ang Ginoo makapasaylo kanato, pero kung ang kinaiyahan na ang mutawag sa pagbalik sa atung gipanghimo lisod gyud nato kining mapugngan ug usa sa solusyon arun ato kining mapugngan ang pagtanom ug daghang kahoy." said Jessie Teody Tagalog, Brgy Captain of Antequera.
The tree planting activity was conducted at the Tumbaling Creek of Brgy. Antequera. The native Malibago tree is suited to areas near river banks or estuaries as its roots firmly holds soil and prevents erosion during heavy rains and flashfloods.
