Budget carrier Cebu Pacific has partnered with the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) for the latter’s One to Tree program, which aims to support the restoration and conservation of mangroves in Cebu province. Both parties signed a memorandum of agreement to jointly develop a mangrove plantation in Barangay Tapon, Dumanjug, Cebu. They plan to plant 10,000 seedlings across 10 hectares, airline officials said last week. The partnership will run for three years and include the identification, establishment, planting, maintenance and monitoring of the mangrove plantation. More than 20 community partners from the fisherfolk association will be involved in the project.
