The Province of Arts and Sciences Student Council (PASSC) successfully launched the PAG-ISA Project 2: “Earthroots: Growing Awareness, One Tree at a Time” on April 18, 2026, in Barangay Culasi, Ajuy, Iloilo. The initiative brought together students, partners, and the community with a shared goal of caring for the environment.

The activity highlighted the planting of over 50 mangrove trees along the coastal areas, aimed at strengthening environmental restoration and natural protection. Aside from the tree-planting, a symposium was also held to discuss sustainability, proper waste management, and brand auditing. These discussions emphasized that meaningful change begins with knowledge and collective action.

Every seed planted and every idea shared served as a step toward building a more resilient and sustainable future. The event proved that environmental care goes hand-in-hand with education and community involvement.
