SUBIC, Zambales, Philippines — Volunteers from the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) joined a mangrove propagation activity held in Binictican at Subic, Zambales, in support of the 47th Anniversary of the Central Luzon Media Association (CLMA) and the 13th Anniversary of the Samahan ng Mamamahayag ng Subic Bay Freeport (SMSF).

Over 200 native mangrove saplings were planted by volunteers—strengthening the community’s natural defenses, supporting biodiversity, and helping mitigate the impact of climate change.

For three consecutive years, BCDA has taken part in CLMA’s mangrove rehabilitation project as part of its ongoing reforestation initiatives, in line with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Joining the effort were SBMA Chairman & Administrator Eduardo Jose Aliño, BCDA OIC–Senior Vice President for Conversion and Development Engr. Mark Torres and Subic Bay locators.
