BUTUAN CITY, Sept. 10 (PIA) -- Members of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkasters ng Pilipinas (KBP) Butuan City Chapter from different radio stations, together with various sectors, re-united during a tree planting activity dubbed, "Urban Greening" held recently in Barangay Masao.

The event is also in partnership with the barangay officials, Department of the Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Philippine National Police (PNP), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the local government unit here.

Some 250 KBP members with partners participated in the "hataw exercise" and tree planting activity.

KBP Butuan City Chapter President and dxMB-Love Radio Station Manager Israel Palero said the tree planting activity is conducted simultaneously by the KBP chapters nationwide.

“Despite the busy schedule of our partner-media in the field, we are here united and sharing the concern for our environment. Let’s sustain life… let’s plant more trees,” said Palero.

Moreover, street children being taken-cared of by the city government and the Butuan City Police Office (BCPO) also participated during the activity, accompanied by city councilor Atty. Rema Burdeos and BCPO deputy police director PSupt Romy Palgue.

In October last year, the chapter also conducted similar activity in Mount Mayapay, Barangay Bonbon, this city.

The “Oplan Broadcastreeing” is in support to the National Greening Program (NGP), a priority program of President Benigno S. Aquino III. (JPG/PIA-Caraga)
