REACTION by Ms. Precy
Last August 4, 2013, we ABE students of section matalino had our site visit in Norzagaray Bulacan. It took us 2 hours to travel from Manila to Norzagaray. We were so excited because that is our first time to have that activity. The environment was so refreshing and clean unlike in the urban area. Ms. Julie from DENR oriented us regarding the preparation in tree planting. We have learned so many new information that will help us to save the mother earth by doing a tree planting. We will not just plant trees but we should also take good care of it by putting fertilizer, watering it and also clean the surroundings.

Until now they continued to inspire students to plant trees in that area. Afterwards we started to clean the area for the preparation of our actual tree planting that will be happened on August 17, 2013. Last August 17, 2013 was the actual tree planting. We arrived the place at around 9:00am. Our first activity is to visit the IPO Dam and learned the important use of the water and where it came from. We were told by Ms. Julie to go down to see the IPO Dam. We were so thrilled when we saw the view. We have learned from our tour guide from DENR that IPO Damn is a man made and we also knew that the water from La-mesa and
