Adopt a Golden Legumes Designated Area

Maraming salamat sa lahat ng Barangays, schools, at organizations na nag-adopt ng mga Golden Legumes na itinanim sa kahabaan ng National Highway. Malaki ang inyong naitulong sa pagpapaganda ng ating kapaligiran at sa pagpapanatili ng kaayusan sa ating bayan.

Ang programang ito ay tugon sa panawagan ng ating butihing Mayor Junjun Ploteña na magkaisa at magtulungan ang buong komunidad upang lalo pang mapaganda at mapaunlad ang Bayan ng Esperanza.

Inaanyayahan din namin ang iba pang paaralan at organisasyon na nais pang mag-adopt ng Golden Legumes areas upang sama-sama nating mapanatili ang kalinisan at kagandahan ng ating mga lansangan.

Makipag-ugnayan lamang sa MENRO - LGU Esperanza para sa detalye.

Special thanks din sa GSO at sa masisipag na MENRO boys sa kanilang tuloy-tuloy na suporta at pagtatrabaho para sa ating kapaligiran.

Sama-sama para sa mas malinis, mas maganda, at mas maunlad na Esperanza!

The 2nd batch of Community Mapping and Key Informant Interviews (KII) was successfully conducted with the active participation of Barangay Ilian, Barangay Legodon, and Barangay Salumping as part of the ongoing preparation of the Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) of the Municipality of Esperanza.

This activity was made possible through the strong support and leadership of our Local Chief Executive, Hon. Mayor Junjun Ploteña whose commitment to sustainable forest management and environmental protection continues to guide the municipality’s initiatives.

The activity was conducted in collaboration with the DENR–CENRO, PENRO, MPDO, MENRO - LGU Esperanza, OAS, DAR, MSWD, MEO, Municipal Tourism Office, NCIP and Cave Restoration and Exploration Project (CREP) Inc., whose expertise greatly contributed to the identification and documentation of important natural resources.

Notably, Barangay Legodon and Barangay Salumping revealed the presence of numerous caves with strong potential for eco-tourism development, as well as areas of remaining virgin forest that highlight the importance of conservation and sustainable land management.

These findings will significantly contribute to the formulation of a science-based and community-driven Forest Land Use Plan for the municipality.

The participation and cooperation of the barangay officials, community members, and partner agencies demonstrate a shared commitment to protecting our forests while exploring responsible opportunities for sustainable tourism.

Isang simpleng initiative, pwedeng magbigay ng malaking inspirasyon sa buong komunidad.

Maraming salamat sa pag-adopt at pag-aalaga ng Golden Legumes. Sa pag-aaruga nito, nakakatulong tayo sa pangangalaga at pagpapaganda nang ating kalikasan.

Sana mas marami pa ang magkaroon ng ganitong diwa—magtanim, mag-alaga, at makiisa sa pagbuo ng mas luntiang kinabukasan.
