Davao de Oro Province--- From the most complex products such as medicine, clothing, furniture and food down to raw materials come from nature. As mankind’s life was brought to greatest heights for ages, nature is always behind its back and it is our duty to replenish the favor.
With this, in cognizance to the Provincial Ordinance No. 15-2012, PLGU-Davao de Oro celebrated the “Nature’s Day” spearheaded by the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources office (PENRO) with the theme “Time for Nature.”
This year Nature’s Day was celebrated at the Provincial Rehabilitation Center, Sta. Maria, Nabunturan, Davao de Oro wherein Governor Jayvee Tyron L. Uy with Board Members Vivencia L. Secuya, Nena G. Atamosa, Macario T. Humol, Raul C. Timogtimog, Charlemagne Bautista, Joseph T. Jauod, Nicky R. Opisan, DepEd representative Division’s Chief Ruben Reponte, PLGU Executive Committee Members and NGA representatives pressed the earth’s bosom by planting trees in the grounds of the rehabilitation Center.
The pandemic does not solely brought fear among the hearts of individuals, but it also brought most of us back into nature’s welcoming hands through planting ornamental plants, vegetable gardening and tree planting reviving green thumbs and relieving boredom due to months of lockdown.
Trees are of great help. From its trunks down to its roots can be used for various purposes. Aside from giving off fresh air, prevention from landslide and shelter for animals it also gives comfort in times of weariness and stress and even play an important role in combating climate change.
The tree planting activity was held at the rehabilitation center as it will provide additional comfort and beautify the area as our detained brothers and sisters will redeem themselves to a journey for a much better life.
