LAGAWE, Ifugao(PIA) - - The Ifugao District Jail (IDJ) based in Kiangan town celebrated the 12th Bureau of Jail Management and Penology Community Relations Service Month with pro-environment and reach out activities.
Exemplifying the theme, "Matatag na Ugnayan ng Pamayanan at Piitan, Daan tungo sa Ligtas at Maunlad na Bayan", IDJ personnel led by District Warden Chief Inspector Gannisi Olosan served a total 109 pupils of Batad Elementary School in Banaue town in an outreach activity. They conducted a gift giving, feeding and information drive about the programs and services of the agency to the beneficiaries.
Similar activity was conducted at Poblacion North, Lagawe serving 19 learners of the Child Development Center.
The activities were made more successful thru the donations of Frederick Ngipol for the Batad event and Yolanda B. Gaddang for the Lagawe activity.
The IDJ personnel likewise planted 100 Mahogany and Guyabano seedlings in their more than two hectares donated lot at Lamut, Ifugao. This is in line with the BJMP's efforts to fight the climate change, improve the quality of natural environment and create public awareness on environmental concerns.
