Dioceses in Cagayan Valley have launched a program seeking to plant at least 1.25 million trees in 500 days.
Dubbed as “Missio 500”, the initiative aims to plant 500 trees per day in the Tuguegarao archdiocese, and each in its suffragans: Ilagan, Bayombong, Tabuk and Batanes.

The project also aims to celebrate this year’s 500th anniversary of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines.
Launched on Thursday, January 14, Tuguegarao Archbishop Ricardo Baccay of Tuguegarao said the initiative is a symbol of their solidarity, working together, and convergence.
Bishop Elmer Mangalinao of Bayombong said last November’s flooding that affected thousands of families shows “the urgency to protect our common home”.
