PAVIA, Iloilo – In a significant step toward fostering a greener and more sustainable environment, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Iloilo has approved, through Resolution No. 2024-708, a municipal ordinance authored by Sangguniang Bayan (SB) Member Daniel “Dan” Fajardo II of Pavia on September 17, 2024.&#13;

The ordinance mandates tree planting and growing across all barangays, schools, farms, business establishments, and housing subdivisions in Pavia.&#13;
&#13;
Municipal Ordinance No. 2024-24, titled the “Community Seeds Growing and Planting Program” (CSG-Planting Program), underscores the municipality’s commitment to a balanced and healthful ecology, addressing environmental challenges such as deforestation and flash floods. It requires stakeholders to plant trees in public spaces, plazas, parks, school campuses, and private areas.&#13;
&#13;
The ordinance includes innovative measures such as mandatory tree planting for farmers, residents applying for barangay clearances, business permit applicants, and municipal employees prior to retirement or promotion.&#13;
&#13;
Additionally, all barangays are required to establish tree nurseries to supply seedlings for planting activities.&#13;
&#13;
“This program is a testament to Pavia’s dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainable development,” said SB Member Fajardo. “We aim to make tree planting not only a duty but a way of life for Pavianhons.”&#13;
&#13;
Violators of the ordinance, including unauthorized cutting or damaging of trees, will face penalties such as fines and mandatory planting of replacement trees.&#13;
&#13;
The Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) will oversee the implementation and ensure compliance with the ordinance.&#13;
&#13;
The ordinance reflects Pavia’s proactive stance in environmental conservation, setting a model for other municipalities to emulate in addressing climate and ecological concerns./PN&#13;
