The Symbolic Tree Panting which was participated in by the Alumni, Administrative Council, and former Presidents and Vice-Presidents of CMU was held at the Fulbright Garden on September 18, 2015 which was a huge success. Mahogany and Golden trees were planted around the premises of the garden. The symbolic planting started way back during the Centennial Celebration of CMU.
The General Services Unit under Director Roy V. Agbayani who organized the activity prepared 300 trees in which only 105 trees were planted at the garden and the rest were placed at Musuan Peak. This was aimed for the beautification/ aesthetic values of the environment.
“The event is very successful because the alumni from different batches actively participated in the activity,” said Dir. Agbayani in an up close interview. Mr. John Minggo, on the other hand, attended the same activity and promoted the climate change adaptation to attain a Green University.
Ms. Marivice H. Eugenio, CMU High School Batch 1987, believed that the activity will be of big help for the future generation of students in the University. She further said that the planting activity will help today’s environment.
