Ceremonial Unveiling of the Heritage Tree Marker

Another Bataan Heritage Tree Marker was unveiled today, November 9, 2026, beside Our Lady of the Pillar Parish Church in Barangay Poblacion, Morong, Bataan. Anchored on Provincial Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2020, this initiative is part of the heritage conservation program of the Bataan Provincial Tourism Office, which aims to protect and preserve century-old and heritage trees throughout the province. The event was spearheaded by the Municipality of Morong, through the efforts of its Municipal Tourism Office, as part of the Bisita Bayan program. The unveiling was graced by the presence of Municipal Mayor Leila G. Linao-Muñoz and Governor Jose Enrique S. Garcia III.

This marks an important milestone as the first Heritage Tree Marker in the Municipality of Morong, recognizing a Rain Tree (Samanea saman), commonly known as the Acacia tree, as a living natural landmark. It also reflects the Province of Bataan’s continuing commitment to preserving its natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
