Not only will we be engaging in mangrove restoration and coastal clean-up activities, but we will also be enticed to dance to peace and environment-themed songs the premier ethno-rock band in Iligan, Himig-Piglas. Known for their signature songs, Kinaiyahan and Gasa sa Kinaiyahan, Himig-Piglas will be joined by the IMCC Kapagintaw Cultural band, ensuring a truly memorable experience for all attendees.
Aligned with the Iligan Development Goals (IDGs) for the environment, tourism, culture, and good governance, our specific objectives for this event are as follows:
1. To celebrate Earth Day and CSO month;
2. Promotion and raising awareness for peace and environmental protection;
3. To involve 2,000 warm bodies in a climate change mitigation activity; and
4. To foster camaraderie among constituents of member organizations of Iligan City People’s Council and with the collaboration of the barangay and city governments.
For those interested in carpooling, assembly time is set for 5:00 a.m. at the Iligan City Post Office. Please remember to bring your own planting tools and boots to ensure your comfort and safety during the activities.
