COC plants 1,100

The College of Criminology broke records after they planted 1,100 narra seedlings in a single outing for AU-PHINMA’s Green Project last August 24 at Sitio Alorma, Palayan City.

COC students and faculty participated on the project in cooperation with the Civil Military Operations Office of Fort Magsaysay-Aviation led by Captain Eric Igat. The seedlings were part of the 55,000 provided by the DENR-CENRO for the National Greening Program (NGP) through Mr. Alberto Agonoy, Treasurer of Pinagbigkis Cooperative.
