HB08727: AN ACT REQUIRING PARENTS TO PLANT TWO (2) TREES FOR EVERY CHILD BORN TO THEM
This bill promotes tree planting as a way to protect the environment and conserve natural resources. It requires parents to plant two trees for every child born to them. The trees can be planted in their backyard or designated areas with the approval of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
The provision of this bill states that parents will be required to present a sworn statement of compliance before they can claim the Certificate of Live Birth of their child. This ensures that the tree planting requirement is met, making it a unique and effective way to promote environmental responsibility.
