LOOK: LGU KALIBO JOINS TREE PLANTING ACTIVITY IN CELEBRATION OF AKLAN ARBOR DAY 2025

In celebration of Aklan Arbor Day 2025, the Local Government Unit of Kalibo proudly joined a collaborative tree planting activity along Diversion Road, Brgy. Tigayon, Kalibo, Aklan. Together with the Aklan Provincial Agriculture Office, Kalibo Municipal Agriculture Office, Barangay Council of Tigayon, Bureau of Fire Protection, and other committed private individuals, we successfully planted 100 Talisay trees to help restore and protect our environment.

This initiative is in line with Republic Act No. 10176, otherwise known as the Arbor Day Act of 2012, which mandates all provinces, cities, and municipalities to designate a specific day for tree planting—recognizing the vital role of trees in maintaining ecological balance and safeguarding the people’s right to a healthy environment. Likewise, under General Ordinance No. 006, Series of 2014 of the Provincial Government of Aklan, the synchronized Arbor Day celebration is observed every third Friday of August.

This joint effort is a clear testament to our shared advocacy for the continued protection, restoration, and preservation of our natural resources—ensuring that future generations will inherit a greener, healthier, and more sustainable Kalibo. 🌳💚
