MENRO-Daanbantayan

SPOTTED: Dapdap Tree ( Erythrina Variegata) at Barangay Agujo.

Dapdap tree, scientifically known as Erythrina variegata, is a fast growing, deciduous tree commonly found in tropical regions like the Philippines.

The dapdap is a medium-sized tree that can grow up to 15–20 meters tall. It has a wide, spreading canopy, making it useful for shade in coastal areas.

The leaves usually fall before flowering, giving the tree a striking bare look when in bloom.

The dapdap produces bright red to orange, coral-like flower that grow in clusters and appear when the tree is leafless.

Some parts are used in folk remedies.

⚠️ Note
Some parts of the tree, especially the seeds, are poisonous and should not be eaten.

HAPPENING NOW: First Quarterly Meeting of MENROs/CENROs at Province of Cebu

We are proud to share that our very own MENRO, Mamerto Mitong Rodrigo, has been invited as one of the Resource Speakers for this significant gathering. During the conference, he is presenting and sharing our LGU’s best practices in managing the Central Material Recovery Facility (CMRF), as well as our Incentives and Rewards Program that promotes effective solid waste management and environmental responsibility.

This opportunity to showcase our initiatives reflects the dedication and hard work of our LGU in strengthening environmental programs and advancing sustainable waste management systems. It is truly an honor to contribute insights and practical strategies that may also benefit other local government units in the province.

We take great pride in being able to share our accomplishments and are especially proud of MENRO Mamerto Q. Rodrigo for representing our municipality with excellence and commitment.
