Tagbilaran City launches Project 6300
The local government unit (LGU) of Tagbilaran launched Project 6300, according to a report from the City Media Bureau.
City General Services Officer (CGSO) Dr. Chris John Rener Torralba and Tagbilaran City Waterworks System (TCWS) were with Mayor Jane Yap during the program’s launch. Mayor Yap in her message expressed optimism that Project 6300- a tree growing activity, will elevate Tagbilaran’s status as a haven for families as she envisions the bamboo trees to be integrated into a recreational park alongside the Tagbilaran City Coliseum.
Moreover, some city hall employees proceeded to the tree growing site in Dampas for the planting of bamboo seedlings.
Tagbilaran City’s vision is to become a green city by instituting green initiatives, improving parks, creating pocket forests and conducting massive tree growing activities.
“Growing trees is also our way of giving back to Mother Earth because forests and trees are the lungs of our planet, drawing in carbon dioxide and breathing out oxygen. We will need more trees to help us combat the effects of global warming and climate change. This is just the first and the beginning of the many partnerships we will have with private entities, government agencies, academe, civil society and professional organizations for the implementation of Project 6300,” the mayor said.
