The Office of the Vice President, in partnership with the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and dedicated community volunteers, successfully planted 10,000 mangrove propagules along the coastal areas of Barangay Tamban, Tinambac, Camarines Sur.
In a strong push for environmental sustainability and coastal resilience, the Office of the Vice President (OVP) Bicol Satellite Office, in partnership with local stakeholders, planted 10,000 mangrove propagules in Barangay Tamban, Tinambac, Camarines Sur last May 09.
This tree-planting initiative is a flagship environmental program led by Vice President Sara Duterte, aiming to restore and protect vital ecosystems across the country. The activity underscores the significant role of mangroves in sustaining marine biodiversity and shielding coastal communities from natural calamities.
Residents of Barangay Tamban, whose primary livelihood revolves around fishing, expressed their support for the project, noting the long-term benefits mangroves offer. These include providing a natural habitat for fish and other marine life, which contributes to more stable and abundant fish stocks.
Sean Jeffrey Bruzo, Technical Support Specialist from Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) CENRO- GOA were also present during the event to highlight the ecological importance of mangroves stating that; “Ang mangroves po natin, they are considered as unsung heroes of out ecosystem. They serve as storm buffers or yung mangroves natin nag act siya as natural barriers o panangga ng natural calamities,” (Mangroves are considered unsung heroes of our ecosystem. They serve as natural storm buffers, protecting coastal areas from the impact of typhoons and storm surges.)
DENR experts also conducted a demonstration on the proper planting techniques to improve the survival rate of the propagules. Bruzo emphasized the importance of digging an adequate hole and ensuring the root collar is well-covered with soil.
“Maghuhukay po tayo ng enough space at important po na ma-cover natin itong root colar dapat enough ‘yung soil na ma-cover niya. Ito namang pahaba na ito, very easy lang siya itanim bale idiin mo lang siya sa mud pero dapat enough ma-cover niya ang ating at least ¾ of the body at nakalitaw lang ‘yung ¼ of the body,” (For the elongated propagules, it’s simple to plant them—just press them into the mud deep enough so that at least three-fourths of the body is submerged, leaving only one-fourth exposed,) he explained.
The Tinambac mangrove planting is among several reforestation activities under the “PagbaBAGo: A Million Trees Campaign”, which aims to plant one million trees nationwide before 2028. It also serves as a testament to the OVP’s commitment to environmental protection, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development.

Bilang bahagi ng patuloy na pagsusulong para sa pangangalaga ng kalikasan at pagpapatatag ng mga baybaying komunidad, nagtanim ng 10,000 mangrove propagules ang Office of the Vice President (OVP) Bicol Satellite Office katuwang ang iba’t ibang lokal na ahensya at mga miyembro ng komunidad sa Barangay Tamban, Tinambac, Camarines Sur noong Mayo 9.
Ang aktibidad ay isang flagship environmental program sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Vice President Sara Duterte na layong magpanumbalik at magprotekta ng mga mahalagang likas-yaman sa bansa. Binibigyang-diin nito ang kahalagahan ng bakawan bilang tahanan ng mga yamang-dagat at panangga sa epekto ng kalamidad.
Ayon sa mga residente ng Barangay Tamban, malaki ang kanilang pasasalamat sa proyektong ito dahil pangunahing kabuhayan ng marami sa kanila ang pangingisda. Ang pagtatanim ng bakawan ay nakatutulong sa pagpaparami ng mga isda at iba pang lamang-dagat, na siyang nagbibigay ng mas masaganang kabuhayan sa komunidad.
Dumalo rin sa aktibidad si Sean Jeffrey Bruzo, Technical Support Specialist mula sa Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) CENRO-GOA, at ipinaliwanag ang kahalagahan ng mangroves sa ating ekosistema, aniya; “Ang mangroves po natin, they are considered as unsung heroes of out ecosystem. They serve as storm buffers or yung mangroves natin nag act siya as natural barriers o panangga ng natural calamities.”
Nagsagawa rin ng demonstrasyon ang mga eksperto mula sa DENR kung paano ang wastong pagtatanim ng propagules upang masiguro ang kanilang mataas na survival rate.

Ito namang pahaba na ito, very easy lang siya itanim bale idiin mo lang siya sa mud pero dapat enough ma-cover niya ang ating at least ¾ of the body at nakalitaw lang ‘yung ¼ of the body,” paliwanag ni Bruzo.
Ang nasabing pagtatanim sa Tinambac ay isa lamang sa maraming reforestation activities sa ilalim ng “PagbaBAGo: A Million Trees Campaign,” na naglalayong makapagtanim ng isang milyong punongkahoy sa buong bansa bago matapos ang taong 2028. Patunay ito ng patuloy na pagtutok ng OVP sa pangangalaga ng kalikasan, pagbawas ng panganib sa kalamidad, at pagtataguyod ng pangmatagalang kaunlaran.
