A private sector group has created the Million Trees Foundation to perpetuate and sustain the annual million trees challenge (AMTC), a five-year project seeking the rehabilitation of seven critical watersheds. With the MTF formed and incorporated with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the continuity of the project is now assured, according to MWSS Chairman of the Board Reynaldo V. Velasco. AMTC is an original creation of the Manila Waterworks and Sewerage System—Corporate Office under Velasco, then the MWSS Administrator in February 2017.
