Putting into action City Ordinance 533 Series of 2011, authored by Councilor El Cid Familiaran, he himself joined the recent tree planting activity at Sitio Cabatangan, in Talisay City, Negros Occidental.
The area is part of the watershed of Bacolod City Water District (BACIWA), which supplies water to the residents of Bacolod City. The reforestation drive was a joint endeavor with BACIWA through GM Atty Julie Ann Carbon; Mr. Glenn de Guzman, Glen, students of USLS, Lions Club, and other civic organizations, and other groups. This is among the series of responses of the concerned local civic organizations to the threat and danger to our environment. These civic duties of the students & civic leaders led by Councilor Familiaran if back up by proper resources will ameliorate the environment and sustained water supply for several cities and municipalities in Negros Occidental, especially Bacolod City, considering that the area being reforest is part of the watershed of BACIWA to ensure its water supply for its concessionaires. Previously, concerned for the degradation of our environment, Councilor Familiaran sponsored the Bacolod City Ordinance # 533, series of 2011, "An Ordinance Institutionalizing Arbor Day in the City of Bacolod, Ejoining Participation of Everybody Thereof, and Requiring City Scholars/Summer Jobber Students and Students of the Bacolod City College to Plant at Least Ten(10) Seedlings Every Year."* Edith B.
