On March 19, 2024, we revisited Tungtong Falls to install railings along the trails leading to it.
On May 6th, a creek clean-up and seminar took place featuring guest speaker Prof Henry Calilung from Hedcen School. The clean-up was a collaborative effort involving Angat Taytay, Brgy Dolores Youth, Maharlika Creekside Neighborhood Association, Liwayway Creekside Association, UKIF ACO, UP OU students from Brgy Flow Green, and co-sponsored by Holcim Geocycle Streams. The initiative was led by Kap Inye, Kag Ronnie Taronrk Dizon, Kag Micth Policarpio, SK officials, barangay department heads and employees. The event, successfully hosted by PIO Chief Jay Edward Francisco Gonzaga, aimed at promoting a zero-waste future. Collected trash will be picked up by Holcim Cement to be used as fuel in cement production.
On May 03, 2024 we revisited the area on the nth time together with Hukbatala, purposely identifying trees and shrubs that grow in the area, understanding the relevance to Tungtong biodiversity. This move is very important in future reforestation of Tungtong for it will guide us as to what PH native trees will be planted come rainy season.
A Creek Clean-up Program was conducted at Rowena's Garden in our Barangay. It was led by our Barangay Captain - Reinier "Inye" Pacleb, Sec. Pearl Defante, Kag. Ronnie "Taronek" Dizon - (Chairperson Committee on Environment and Natural Resources), Arnold Macunte - (GSO Head), Perry Francisco - (BENRO Head). Before the cleanup began, there was a brief program with volunteers and Barangay staff. The following are the organizations that volunteered for this program:
