ANTIQUE – Police personnel of the municipality of Hamtic planted 100-fruit bearing trees in the backyard of Bia-an Elementary School in Barangay Bia-an, Hamtic on May 19.
The tree planting activity was in line with the Hamtic police station’s “Oplan Inang-Lupa” initiative that supported the Philippine National Police’s core value “makakalikasan” (pro-environment).
Police Captain Horizon Villanueva, officer-in-charge of the Hamtic police station, led the tree planting.
