DAR Cebu plants trees to mark Carper

IN celebration of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension with Reforms (Carper) anniversary, the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Cebu provincial office will hold a tree planting today in Carcar City, southern Cebu.

This is in coordination with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Central Visayas, which identified the tree planting site, and provided the seedlings.

At least 120 DAR provincial and municipal employees will troop to the watershed areas of barangay Can-asujan to plant around 2,000 seedlings.

The anniversary celebration kicked off with an agraryo trade fair on June 15 at the ground floor of WDC building on Osmeña Boulevard, Cebu City and a photo exhibit on Carper.

Provincial Agrarian Reform officer Isaganie Yee, with DAR-7 assistant regional director for Administration Grace Fua  led  the ribbon cutting to open the trade fair.

Yee, in his message, encouraged the agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) in the province to continue to be productive. He also invited them to go back on Sept. 14 for another agro-trade fair, which they plan hold quarterly.

The fair will display fresh produce, organic products, bags, accessories and novelty items produced by ARBs and people’s organization in Cebu.
