The Narra seedlings planted at the Arboretum of Ermita Hill were sponsored by Forestry School in Aurora State College of Technology.
Lieutenant Colonel Aries Quinto, Commanding Officer, 91IB, participated in the activity along with the officers and members of the OFMM and personnel from the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Civili-Military Operations, G7, 7ID, and Division Public Affairs Office.
After the activity, a press conference was held at ASCOT with Lt. Col. Quinto; OFMM President, Jason De Asis; ASCOT President Dr. Renato G. Reyes; and 307th CDC Director, Major Ron Michael Soriao.
In his message, Lt. Col. Quinto recognized the communication efforts to bridge the gap between the community and the Army as he believes that transparency and collaboration are essential in fostering a deep understanding of the unit’s mission.
He then assured the media and the ASCOT community that their concerns would be addressed, at the same time. “Makaaasa ang ASCOT at media na lahat ng concerns ay gagawan paraan. Nandito ang inyong kasundaluhan para masustain ang peace and security sa Aurora,” Lt. Col. Quinto said.
Meanwhile, among the future collaborative projects of the ASCOT and 91IB is the conduct of Information Awareness Drive on CTG Youth Infiltration by having a Memorandum of Partnership Agreement.
