Feb 16, 2018. Rotary Tree Planting. The Rotarians from the three Rotary Clubs of Roxas, Metro Roxas and Metro Roxas Central, D3850 respectively, together with the Rotary Friendship Exchange (RFE) Latvia/Sweden Inbound team of D2410, and in cooperation with the Municipality of Sapian thru the leadership of Mayor Ike Binas (Rotarian 0f RC Roxas), Sapian National High School, Roxas Airport AVSEGroup, and Anya's Volunteers planted earlier today 200 trees at Sitio Busay, Poblacion Sapian, Capiz. 
Rotary International president Ian H.S. Riseley in one of his goals this year during his announcement of the Rotary theme "Making A Difference" last year is about protecting the environment and curbing climate change that is essential to Rotary's goal of sustainable service. This Rotary year 2017-2018 is for each 1.2 millon Rotarians to plant trees and nurture them by going back and visiting them after planting. Each Rotarian is challenged to plant from 1 July and Earth Day on 22 April 2018.
"The results would be far greater than environmental benefit that those about 1.2 million new trees will bring and that every Rotarian will recognize their responsibility not only to the people on our planet, but to the planet itself," Riseley said.
Trees planted were Mahogany, Malunggay, Gemilina, Acacia and Bakayan. Bakayan belongs to the Mahogany family and is mainly used for its timber and also in many medicinal preparations.
Before the event, RFE Latvia/Sweden inbound team made a courtesy call to Mayor Ike Binas of LGU Sapian. Then after the activity, the group were treated to a sumptous lunch hosted by Mayor Ike.
