successfully completed the second round of bamboo planting, placing 250 Bayog bamboo seedlings along the banks of the Caray-Caray River in Sitio Lupa, Brgy. Calumpang, Naval, Biliran.

This initiative forms part of the province’s ongoing Bamboo Rehabilitation Program, which aims to protect riverbanks, enrich biodiversity, and build a more climate-resilient Biliran.

Bamboo is more than just a versatile plant—it is a powerful natural defense system. This initiative contributes to a safer and greener future by:

Reducing soil erosion through its strong root network that stabilizes riverbanks

Minimizing scouring underneath bridges and mitigating structures

Acting as a super carbon sink, absorbing CO₂ and releasing clean oxygen

Slowing water flow through dense growth, reducing overflow risks to lives and property

Encouraging community stewardship, as landowners along riverbanks are invited to participate in this shared environmental mission

Under the Bagong Pilipinas vision, the Provincial Government remains committed to expanding bamboo planting across major river systems in Biliran. Today’s activity was also joined by Job Order and Contract of Service personnel from the Provincial Capitol, in compliance with Memorandum No. (1)3-2025 issued by Atty. Vonn Aurelius C. Roa, Provincial Administrator.

This is not a one-time effort—it marks the beginning of a sustained green movement.

We invite every Biliranon—landowners, youth, civil servants, and environmental advocates—to take part in future planting activities.

Join the Movement. Plant a Legacy.

Together, we can build a greener, safer, and more sustainable Biliran—one bamboo at a time.
