Davao Sur electric coop spearheads tree planting and coastal clean-up

DIGOS CITY, Davao del Sur, Aug. 27 – The Davao del Sur Electric Cooperative (Dasureco), the lone power distributor in the province, spearheaded a tree planting activity and clean-up drive at the coastal areas of Barangay Aplaya here early Wednesday morning.

Dasureco general manager Engr. Godofredo Guya, who led other cooperative officials and employees, said that the activity was in connection with the celebration of the National Electrification Awareness Month.

“The event was a result of Dasureco's commitment towards environmental protection and management as well as the desire to enjoin the people to embark in the same pursuit,” Guya said.

Participants in the clean-up drive arrived at the coastal area as early as 4 a.m. Wednesday to plant mangrove trees and gather solid wastes in efforts to help protect picnic goers from stepping up on sharp objects.

Guya said the event was also participated by residents of Barangay Aplaya, and members of Dasureco-affiliated associations. (CDIO-Magsaysay/Anthony S. Allada)
