More or less 200 biking enthusiasts from different biking groups and organizations in Negros Occidental joined in the 8th National Bicycle Day at the Ecopark of Calatrava town.
DENR-PENRO Negros Occidental led by OIC-PENRO Joan Nathaniel Gerangaya fully supported the activity with the theme “Clean Air through a Bicycle Friendly Philippines”.
Gerangaya was represented by NNNP and PENRO Personnel Anacleto Buaron Jr., Leon Dulman, Genora Grace Alegora and Eusebio Nequinto from CENRO Cadiz.
Calatrava Mayor Marilyn Era and Councilor John Mark Fabroz gave their messages of gratitude and support to all environment-related activities.
One of the highlights of the activity was the planting of 100 white lauan seedlings in designated planting areas at the ecopark.
Bikers then pledged their commitment as they synchronously stated the Panata sa Kalikasan.
The National Bicycle Day was initiated and organized together with DENR since 2014. In 2020, the National Bicycle Day was officially declared by the National Government through Presidential Proclamation 1052 declaring the 4th Sunday of November as National Bicycle Day.*
