Service Training Program (NSTP) Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) of the two
(2) campuses of Lyceum of the East in Aurora and the 48th Infantry
“Guardians” Battalion, Philippine Army will be conducting “TAKBO PARA SA INANG
KALIKASAN” with the theme “ONE SPIRIT, ONE ADVOCACY, ONE GOAL…A Sustainable National
Greening Program thru Gender and Development (GAD) Principles and Initiatives” on
August 20, 2012 (Monday), 3:30pm. It will start and will end at Lyceum of the
East-Aurora (LEA) in Maria Aurora, Aurora.
Hundreds of runners are expected to join in the
1st joint fun-run initiated by the two colleges and the army which
will benefit the people of Aurora and committed in a series of seminars and
symposiums on GAD, NGP environmental awareness, tree planting, nursery, zero
waste management, adopt a mountain, water and marine life conservation, illegal
logging prevention and livelihood among others.
The activity is in pursuant to RA 9512
otherwise known as the National Greening Program (NGP), serves as a catalyst
which drives and encourages all government offices and private offices to
participate and join in the greening program.
Likewise,
the newly launched program: GAD is given impetus for the protection of humans
particularly the youth. At present, the school and the army are designing a
program in pursuance to RA 7192 (Women in Development and Nation
Building Act), RA 9710 or Magna Carta for Women and other related legislations
to be implemented in the province, adding that the activity will showcase women
empowerment and equality, embodying the principles of GAD.

Battalion Commander LTC Kurt A Decapia, Co-Chairperson of the activity are calling
the attention of professional and avid runners, amateur runners, health
aficionados, environment advocates and students to run for the benefit of the
environment. The fun run will boost the joint activity to pursue other programs
for GAD and NGP in the entire province.
It is a joint School-Army
activity to foster cooperation and camaraderie wherein they decided a
Registration fee of P50 pesos for each participant to cover logistics and
administration.
This endeavor is for the future of the generation of
today with due respect to the gender equality and environmental protection and awareness
in the changing world.
As of this report, a Technical Working Group whose
members came from both colleges and the army is completing a Four-Year
Strategic Plan incorporating all programs, activities, and targets where all
students, males and females will have equal chances and opportunities to
participate and contribute productively. (Jason de Asis)
