LOOK: Giant Bamboos From Bukidnon To Be Planted Along Marikina River To Prevent Flood

Mga higala! Philippine Giant Bamboos (Dendrocalamus Asper) from Bukidnon will be planted by the ‘Mga Anak ni Inang Daigdig’ performing arts group along the river banks of the Marikina River!

ICYDK, Marikina City and other areas in Luzon recently experienced severe flooding due to storms (and environmental degradation).

The said giant bamboos will be used to reforest river banks, rehabilitate the Marikina Watershed and the lower Sierra Madre, prevent further soil erosion and absorb excess water, and protect residents from more flooding in the future.

According to Fr. Benigno Beltran, “we will plant the Philippine Giant Bamboo along the river banks of the Marikina River and its tributaries along the Marikina Watershed. We already ordered seedlings from Bukidnon. Take a look at the shoot I am holding! In ideal conditions, it’s poles can reach up to 14 inches at the base.” (see 2nd photo below)
