Roadside Greening, Road Right-of-Way, Climate Resilience and Inter-Agency Coordination

PH Haiyan Advocacy, Inc. continues to seek the resumption of its Adopt-a-Tree Project along the Tacloban Bypass Road following its temporary suspension in August 2025. The organization has formally requested DPWH to reconsider Department Order No. 73, Series of 2014, which restricts planting within national-road rights-of-way, and to provide technical justifications, updated road right-of-way records, and renewed inter-agency coordination. Through correspondence from August 2025 to September 2026, PH Haiyan has advocated for a science-based approach that promotes roadside greening while protecting public safety.

The Adopt-a-Tree Project: Greening the Tacloban Bypass Road Copy

PH Haiyan Advocacy, Inc. initiated the Adopt-a-Tree Project along the Tacloban Bypass Road to promote environmental protection, climate resilience, and community participation in roadside greening.

The project seeks to transform suitable roadside spaces into greener, more environmentally sustainable areas through proper tree selection, site planning, and coordination with government agencies.

Guided by its vision of β€œMaking Tacloban a Model on Climate Resiliency,” PH Haiyan believes that infrastructure development and environmental protection should complement one another for the long-term benefit of Taclobanons.
