ML plants mangroves in Negros Occidental

M Lhuillier Philippines planted 1,000 mangrove propagules of three different species on Isla Nabuswang, barangay Canmoros, Binalbagan town, Negros Occidental.

Company employees headed by regional manager Eric Garces spearheaded the event, in coordination with the Nabuswang Mangrove Association last May 3.
