CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, (Philippines): At least 4,500 individuals from 50 institutions planted around 20,000 bamboos in different areas of the country, mainly in Mindanao, on Friday (Oct 18) in an attempt to achieve a Guinness World Record for “Most People Planting Bamboo Simultaneously.”
The planted bamboo were geotagged to ensure that growth is monitored, as it will, in the future, become a potential source of raw material for various high-value products, said Department of Science and Technology (DOST) regional director Romela Ratilla.
