Women Advocacy: Fun Walk and Tree Planting for the Children’s Future

It was so hot that I couldn't barely smile but my heart is pounding with joy, for this is my 7th tree planting activity attended. This is a rambutan seedling, and I named it RambutIAN.. lol.. Know the story below.

PATIN-AY, Prosperidad. Showing the women’s helping heart for the children in the conflict with the law, the women from the different National and provincial offices gathered to participate in Fun walk and tree planting activities as part of the Women Month celebration last March 31, 2014.

A fun walk was first initiated going to the Regional Rehabilitation Center for youth (RRCY) after the flag ceremony of the provincial government of Agusan del Sur employees.

Employees from different offices, including men, joined the activity and participate in the advocacy of the women.

According to Ms. Loida V. Antonio of Provincial Social Welfare Development Office (PSWDO) the fun walk and tree planting is a culminating activity for the Women’s Month celebration. And she was very grateful that women and men participated on the said activities.

On the tree planting activity, which was held at the RRCY, they used Rambutan tree because this will become an income generating opportunity for the youth on the center. Because, the said fruit bearing tree will give its fruit after two years according to Ms. Antonio.

SP member Hon. Gina Ceballos and Provincial Director of DILG Ms. Arlene Sanchez participated on the tree planting activity with Department of Education, Department of Interior and Local Government, PNP and other different employees of the provincial offices.
