FORUM FOR THIS WEEK:

LOVE AFFAIR WITH NATURE
Mayor Edward Hagedorn of Puerto Princesa city, Palawan province officiates the mass wedding of a hundred Filipino couples at sunrise in a unique ceremony to celebrate Valentine's Day in south-western Philippines. The mayor, an environmentalist, has urge would-be couples to plant a tree or mangrove propagules before they can be married. More than 3,000 volunteers joined the newly-weds in massive mangrove-planting activity.

On the southwestern island of Palawan, famous for its pristine white-sand beaches, 100 Filipino couples waded through shallow waters to plant mangrove trees before tying the knot in a mass Valentine's Day wedding.

“This is part of our showing our care for nature. That is why we dubbed it as a love affair with nature,” Puerto Princesa Mayor Edward Hagedorn said.
