Tree growing activity held at NOLITC Global Campus

The  Negros Occidental Language and Information Technology Center, in partnership with the  Provincial Environment Management Office,  conducted a tree-growing activity to cap environment and pride month at the NOLITC Global Campus in Brgy. Matab-ang Talisay City, Thursday morning, June  30.

Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz said that “with this tree-growing activity, we are doing things right because before NOLITC opens the new campus and starts accepting students, the aesthetic and environmental aspect of the campus is already in place, making it conducive to learning”.

“When we start correctly, we also stand and grow properly. A tree that starts crooked will always end crooked; if a tree stands firm it is rooted deeply; it stands proud and proper. I believe NOLITC is up for the challenge of growing straight and competent students”, he added.

Diaz also commended NOLITC headed by Vocational School Administrator Dr. Ma. Cristina Orbecido for establishing a healthy and strong relationship with Business Process Outsourcing industry in the province.

He  is hoping that this new home will inspire NOLITC staff to do more for the Negrense youth, Diaz said.

Orbecido said that NOLITC organized the event to acquaint the  industry partners with  the new campus and urge them to be part of NOLITC’s environmental campaign.

One hundred five seedlings of molave and narra trees were planted at the new campus, she said.

More than 80 participants joined the tree growing activity with officials and employees coming from Teleperformance, Ubiquity, Focus Direct Inc., iQor, ARB, and Audacity Studio.     

Teleperformance, in a press statement,  said it is happy to partner with like-minded organizations as part of its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals such as SDG No. 13, which calls to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

Since 2008, Teleperformance through its Citizen of the Planet (COTP) global program, has ensured  that its business operates with the environment in mind. These initiatives are geared towards minimizing environmental impact and protecting our planet, the statement said.

The event was aligned with the 30th Provincial Environment Month celebration with the theme: “Only One Earth”,  Orbecido said.*
