Along the Iloilo airport route, more than 2K native trees will be planted.

The city administration will plant trees along a 10-kilometer length of road that runs from the service road of the Iloilo International Airport to Barangay Ungka in the municipality of Pavia as part of its support for the growth of native trees.

In an interview on Tuesday, Iloilo City Executive Assistant Armando Dayrit stated, “If we plant at roughly 10 meters spacing, we will require 2,000 native seedlings.” He added that they will be planting 1,000 trees on either side of the service road.

Dayrit stated that the rows of trees along the service road are one of the first things passengers will see upon arriving, giving Mayor Jerry Treas the opportunity to convey to them that Iloilo is an environmentally friendly city.

The Royal Palm placed in the center of the road is the only tree visible right now, he continued.

“From my perspective, having a forest canopy in Iloilo is also beneficial because we can only see that close to Camp Delgado. When someone leaves their home, they must be able to see at least three trees within the following 30 meters and a tree park after 300 meters, according to Dayrit.

The regional office of the Philippine National Police in Western Visayas is located here along Fort San Pedro and is called Camp Delgado.

In a Monday interview, Treas claimed that the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines and the Department of Public Works and Highways had already given their blessing to the project.

Also, he would issue an executive order ordering all barangay officials, school administrators, and real estate developers to annually plant native trees in their jurisdictions.

Also, the city administration advocates for the planting of native trees in all of the city’s subdivisions’ open spaces.

Out of the 134 subdivisions in the city, Dayrit said he plans to plant native trees in 75 unoccupied lots held by the city government.

According to the law, “every subdivision must have a tree park,” he stated.

In Barangay Caingin, La Paz area, the city government’s nursery now has 15,000 to 16,000 seedlings, of which 10,000 are native species.

Dayrit clarified that native trees are those that are unique to the Philippines.
