Teachers join tree planting along Ambayoan banks
SAN NICOLAS—Mayor Leoncio Saldivar III welcomed schoolteachers from other towns who planted trees along the banks of the Ambayoan River that connects to the Agno River from the Caraballo Mountains.
There were 100 teachers, representatives of the Pangasinan II School Division headed by Schools Superintendent Viraluz Raguindin, from adjacent Natividad and Tayug who came to San Nicolas on September 15 to conduct the tree planting activity.
Saldivar lauded the tree planting effort which he said can help save San Nicolas as well as San Manuel from disastrous floods.
The teachers were led by Dr. Josephine Lopez of Natividad District and Dr. Nora Ramirez of Tayug District II.
The activity is part of their participation to the celebration of the 111th Philippine Civil Service Month.
The tree planting, also in support of the National Greening Program, was supervised by Fernando Estrada, head of the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro) based in Urdaneta City.
Planted along the Ambayoan River banks are gemelina, acacia, mahogany and other fast-growing trees.
