TANAY, Rizal—The Philippine Army’s 2nd Infantry Division planted more than 2,000 fruit-bearing and nonfruit-bearing trees inside Camp Capinpin here on Thursday in aid of the government’s National Greening Program.
Various civic groups like the Rotary Clubs in the area were also tapped by the division to increase awareness on the need to protect and rehabilitate the environment through massive tree planting.
