CEMSI North Plant in Capas Tarlac celebrated Arbor Day in time for the Philippine Environment Month with the Capas-MENRO, CENRO Tarlac and the Philippine Veterans Affairs Office (PVAO) in the grounds of the Capas National Shrine in Barangay Aranguren. CEMSI planted around 50 seedlings of guyabano and duhat to join the 12,000 trees inside the memorial shrine for Philippine veterans for World War II. Under the Trees for Heroes Program, PVAO organizes tree planting events with the Armed Forces of the Philippines in compliance to RA 8221. Engr. Darwin Campo, PVAO Shrine Curator welcomed participants while Forester Emmanuel Razalan Capas-CENRO delivered a brief orientation on the planting procedure. Mr. Gener S.

CEMSI looks forward to the day that the fruit-bearing trees will nurture the diversity of wildlife in the memorial shrine. As part of our environmental mission, we commit ourselves in planting and rearing of trees in Capas, Tarlac. This activity is the second leg of our tree planting program for the Philippine Environment Month 2022.
