DID YOU KNOW: June 25 is Philippine Arbor Day

Proclamation No. 643 signed in 2004 institutionalized the observance of Philippine Arbor Day every June 25.

The proclamation highlighted the need to declare one day each year for the conduct of tree planting activities to promote a healthier ecosystem for people.

Arbor Day is observed nationwide through the planting of trees and ornamental plants, and other relevant activities. —Marielle Medina, Inquirer Research
