A multinational oil company in the Philippines is bringing into the country its own model of mangrove reforestation in its home country Thailand through a project that has drawn hundreds of participants in the province of Cavite. PTT Philippine Corp. (PTTPC), a local subsidiary of PTT Public Company Ltd. of Thailand, initiated its mangrove reforestation project in Noveleta, Cavite with 50,000 mangrove propagules planted in just one day. "We are trying to duplicate our mother company's effort to lead the same kind of project, mangrove planting, in our desire to help in the environmental campaign of the Philippine government, especially after the disaster brought by Super Typhoon Yolanda last year," PTTPC president and chief executive officer Wisarn Chawalitanon told more than 500 volunteers who took part in the mangrove planting.
