The Ceremonial Kong Planting Activity aimed to establish the SPRINT Center STRIP Area at the Newly Acquired Land, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite which will serve as an experimentation area for kaong-related research studies, a demonstration farm, and a production area, as well. In addition, this will also help increase the population of kaong which may greatly benefit the community.
The said activity was held as a joint effort of the SPRINT Center, University Pollution Control Office, Physical Plant and Services, Public Affairs and Communication Office, Civil Security Services, and the University Health Services. #SPRINTCenter
