The first phase, held on September 27, 2024, focused on the preparation of the President's Lot for planting. The CvSU College of Criminal Justice Emergency Response and Airsoft Team (CERAT), led by Mr. Victor P. Mendoza and Mr. Jose Alberto Morena, alongside 30 dedicated volunteer members, worked diligently to clear the area and dig 50 holes for the seedlings. This phase represented the teamwork and commitment required to ensure the success of the tree-planting activity, showcasing the university's unity and gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to the environment and its legacy.

On October 1, 2024, the second phase of the tree-planting took place. In this phase, 145 medical students from CvSU-COM were joined by five members of the Manila Medical Society (MMS), including Dr. David Pinto, Dr. Ariel Paredes, Ms. Charmaine Bruto, Ms. Mary Grace Peรฑaranda, and Ms. Jezzalore De Santos. Together, they planted 50 Kaong (sugar palm) seedlings at the President's Lot.
The Kaong seedlings were generously donated by the Sugar Palm Research, Information, and Trade (SPRINT) Center, under the leadership of Prof. Edgardo A. Gonzales. The seedlings symbolize not only the university's dedication to preserving local biodiversity but also its overarching goal of promoting environmental health. This initiative highlights the core principle of "One Health, One Welfare, One Environment," acknowledging the intricate relationship between the health of humans, animals, and the ecosystem.
