4th Wood Carving Competition and Exhibit

Following the World Wood Day 2017’s theme, “Roots (Ugat),” the celebration was held in three parts - a tree-planting activity; the wood carving competition (divided into groups of “Bas Relief” and “In the Round”) ; and a Wood Forum on “Tree Nurturing”. All these events were opened to the public to achieve the event’s aim of fostering regional participation in culture and arts and expanding awareness and appreciation for the wood art in the host community.

The activity aimed to contribute to the “greening” of the UPOU headquarters as well as increase awareness and educate individuals on ways to contribute to sustainable development.

Fifteen native tree saplings were planted by UPOU officials, faculty, and staff in front of the Centennial Center for Digital Learning (CCDL).

During the tree planting, Dr. Armand Palijon, UPOU Landscape Consultant, also demonstrated how deep the saplings should be planted, how to create a basin, how to place a peg to secure the sapling, and other tips to ensure the trees’ health.

Guest of Honor giving a short message during the Opening: Atty. Ma. Gabriela Roldan-Concepcion, wife of the current UP President, Atty. Danilo Concepcion.
