Circle of Life

The Million Trees Foundation (MTF) inaugurates the ‘Million Trees Circle of Life’ at the La Mesa Watershed, symbolizing a landmark partnership between the Philippines and Denmark for environmental sustainability. The project, supported by a 30,000-euro three-year grant from the Poul Due Jensen Foundation, Grundfos Philippines and volunteer group 9150Cares, involves the funding of the Circle of Life for the planting, nurturing and maintenance of a thousand native trees in La Mesa. Leading the ceremony are Josephine De La Cerna, IS director and country director of Grundfos Philippines; Virgilio Bate, IS director, IS&O; Bobby Fraga, IS manager, Grundfos; 9150 Cares representatives; Reynaldo Velasco (left), founder of the MWSS’ Annual Million Trees Challenge (AMTC) and MTFi chairman emeritus; and Melandrew Velasco (right), MTFI president and executive director.
