THE Department of Science and Technology (DoST) has marked another milestone as it broke the Guinness World Record for the 'Most People Planting Bamboo Simultaneously in Multiple Venues' during the National Science, Technology and Innovation Week (NSTW) at the Limketkai Mall, Cagayan de Oro City on Nov. 28

Spearheaded by the DoST and its Kawayanihan partners, the monumental effort involved 2,305 individuals uniting across multiple locations to emphasize the importance of bamboo in sustainability. Participants in the record-breaking initiative included farmer cooperatives, government agencies, local government units (LGUs), non-profit agencies and private sector companies.
