| STI students preparing to plant |
It is a universal struggle to nurture and protect our environment to make it more conducive for living and to leave behind for future generations and STI College Balayan never fail to join the cause for saving and restoring the environment.
Last October 6, 2012, the 402 STI NSTP students joined the yearly coastal clean-up to help make the environment conducive for living. They eagerly played the part as eco- heroes with broomsticks, dustpan and sacks as tools to help clean the garbage problem in Barangays Sanpiro, Navotas, and Palikpikan in Balayan, Batangas.
The students considered the clean-up a very simple activity but they felt accomplished for having participated knowing that it was only a prelude to another environmental activity, the tree planting held on October 15 at Brgy. Dilao also in Balayan. Together with the 730th Combat Group of the Philippine Air Force under 2Lt Cesar R Regis Jr. PAF Squadron Commander who helped to transport the students and teachers safely to the site, each student vigorously planted the narra seedlings in the denuded place with the help of the barangay officials who made the excavations. They unanimously said that the tree planting was tiring but inside they were happy to help restore the place for the future generation and hoped that others will give their extra effort to also help in taking care and fostering it.
The activities were organized by the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office in cooperation with the STI College Balayan NSTP Instructors Mr. Ronan Ira Caringal, Mr. Mhar Julongbayan, Mr.Jonathan Pantoja, Mr. Bernard Ambagan and Miss Alejandra Cosme, NSTP Coordinator.
