The CENR Office Cabagan dance troop incorporated elements of forest protection highlighting the importance of tree growing for the present and future generations.

 

 As first-timers in the dance competition, the team stunned the audience with their dramatic performance and earned the 2nd runner-up award with a cash prize of P20,000. Twelve other agencies joined the said event.

 

“Our participation in the 2024 Interagency K-Pop Dance contest was merely a fun and a manifestation of support and cooperation with LGU Cabagan. However, it was a surprise when we were adjudged as the 2nd runner-up. Perhaps, the message conveyed by the performers portraying tree growing and forest protection caught the attention of the judges,” CENR Officer Dionicio Deundo said.#
