Mangrove Planting in Pilar

I'm fortunate that I was able to participate in our company's initiated activity-Mangrove Planting in Pilar. A 5th class municipality in the province of Cebu located at The Camotes Islands. The Camotes Islands consist of 4 islands, one of those is Ponson Island where Pilar is located.

We took the route Cebu-Ormoc via "slow-boat" leaving Cebu at 10:00 pm. We arrived at Ormoc at dawn then we rode on a ferry going to Pilar. Despite the lack of sleep and the fact that we were not able to take a bath was all gone as the beauty of nature unfolds as the sun begins to rise while we were in the ferry.

Although this is my 2nd time to participate in mangrove planting, I still feel the same level of excitement and proud in every propagule I bury on the muddy ground. I felt a sense of fulfillment to think that I contributed something in my own little way.
