The Puerto Princesa City Water District (PPCWD) initiated “biofencing” in the city’s watershed Irawan Ecopark as among the activities of its 43rd anniversary celebration.
Antonio Jesus Romasanta, general manager of PPCWD, said that the biofencing will be conducted at the riverside of Sitio Impapay in Brgy.Irawan.
Biofences are panels of plants, grown vertically on structures that can be either free-standing or attached to wall. Biofences can turn spaces into something natural and beautiful. They can also improve air quality and provide health benefits.
Biofences make a breathtaking statement by creating alluring environment. They are as equally impressive in appearance as they are purveyors of good health; the plants work as a natural air-filtration system.
Romasanta said that they encourage everyone who will join not to bring any single use plastic or disposable bottles.
“This agency supports worldwide eco-friendly campaign thus we strongly discourage the use of single-use plastic and suggest to bring individual water/ drink container during the event,” he said.
Aside from the biofencing activity at 6:30am, the PPCWD will also hold a fun run at around 4am starting from their office in Brgy. Sta. Monica going to Irawan Ecopark.
Romasanta said that August 5, 2019, which falls on Monday, is the PPCWD anniversary.
