THANK YOU PNB!!! ♥️

Today, 83 officers and employees of PNB from 10 branches (7 from Bacolod, La Carlota, Silay and Victorias) had their tree planting in their adopted area at the NEDF Urban Rainforest, located at Handumanan.
Any individual or company can adopt 1000 sg meters at the NEDF Urban Rainforest for a donation of p10, 000.00. They can visit their area anytime to check on the growth of their trees and eventually establish trails and benches in their area.
The PNB activity was headed by Branch Manager Maria Russel N. Lau. Russel is also an NEDF member.
As her contribution to climate change and food security, Russel plans to personally adopt another 1000 sq. meters for her family.
