     Ladies set their works at hands aside for a while, carried shovels and seedlings, and hiked out to green up the environment.

    As part of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines 9GSP) Week, 12 seniors scout from Cavite National Science High School linked with the other GSP participants from the Southern Luzon Region and trailed up to the peak of Mt.
