The first event was "1 Punla, 1 Binhi, 1 Mithi" that took place in Pasay Tourism Center. It is a tree-planting project conducted along Taft Avenue. Planting more trees helps in reducing urban pollution and cooling temperatures. It was made possible through the help as well ofPasay City Mayor Emi Calixto, Councilor Joey Calixto Isidro, Pasay City Tourism Council Exec. Dir. Mrs Tess Robles, BJMP, the barangay captains and kagawad's of Pasay.

For the second event, it was the "Plastic Mo, Bigas Ko" that happened in the same venue. The project aims to reduce plastic waste through a rice incentive system. The chosen household owners received a bag of Dona Maria brown rice for the plastic waste they gave. The collected plastics will be sold to junk shops for recycling and proceeds will be donated to Brgy.110 under Chairwoman Luz Santos.
