LAKE SEBU, SOUTH COTABATO, FEBRUARY 18, 2022- “A hug worth to treemember” affirmed by everyone as employees, staff, and personnel of PENRO, South Catabato participated in the Tree Hugging Campaign spearheaded by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) at the scenic spots of the Municipality of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato on February 18, 2022.
Apart from continuously encouraging awareness on raising efforts on the importance of nurturing forests, tree-hugging, accordingly, has number of health benefits like taming calmness and well-being of a person, improving immunity, lowering blood pressure, and reducing stress and anxiety levels. DENR believes the activity could be a good alternative in celebrating Valentine’s Day.
Participants testified the mentioned benefits and claimed to be a “tree-hugger” as they aggressively embraced the greenly, primeval, and stress absorber trees of Seven Falls, Bry. Seloton and Sitio Lower Talubek, Lake Sebu, South Cotabato.
Leonisa C. Alfaro, Protected Area Superintendent (PASu) of Allah Valley Watershed and Forest Reserve (AVWFR) conveniently headed the itinerary and hospitably shared their evident projects and work in the area.
Kgwd. Jonathan Alang, representative of Brgy. Chairperson Tomas Panerio of Brgy. Seloton, made the arrival warm as he kindly greeted everyone in his welcome speech.
Mary Ann Tenorio, DMO III, and Designated Information Officer amplified the motivation of the tree-huggers as she delivered the overview of the whole campaign and highlighted the health benefits of tree-hugging. Everyone’s excitement was heightened as she announced that there will be a “Best Tree Hugging Post” as the highlight competition.
Through the cue of program host, Jeatrin Oro, Project Support Officer (PSO), fourty (40) participants simultaneously hugged their chosen trees with exceptional posts. Tree-huggers spent time relishing as the warmth of the trees consumed their insides’ negativity.
