BY KEVIN GALANG

CAMP OLIVAS, City of San Fernando, Pampanga –Policewomen and female non-uniformed personnel of the Police Regional Office 3 on Tuesday  celebrated the Women’s Month with a tree-planting activity in the camp.

It was their share of addressing global warming and climate change.

A total of 200 seedlings of fruit and non-fruit-bearing trees were planted during the half-day activity.

The month of March is celebrated annually as Women’s Month under Proclamation No. 224 in recognition of the critical role of women in economic, cultural, political, social, and other spheres in the nation’s life.

Regional Community Affairs and Development Division chief Col. Marites Salvadora spearheaded the activity.

“Today, we are not just officers sworn to uphold the law; we are environmental stewards, united in a common cause to nurture and protect our planet,” Salvadora said.

“Our duty extends beyond the streets we patrol; it encompasses the very earth beneath our feet. And what better way to honor this duty than by planting trees, the guardians of our environment, symbols of growth, and beacons of hope,” she added.
