Project Baka-One

LOOK | Rooted in purpose, growing in impact.

Project Baka-One successfully conducted its Mangrove (Bakawan) Planting and Coastal Clean-Up at Sta. Cruz, Sitio Bacutan, Barangay Astorga, a collective step toward restoring and protecting our coastal ecosystems. With the dedication of 50 student volunteers, we proudly planted 500 hills of bakawan, each one a living promise for stronger shorelines, thriving marine life, and a more resilient future.

Our deepest thanks to our dedicated volunteers, moderators, and teachers, our partners from ECHO Cares, and the welcoming Sta. Cruz community for their invaluable support in making this possible.

Together, we didn’t just plant mangroves, we planted hope, stewardship, and lasting change.

What began as footprints on the shore
now lives on as roots beneath the tide.

🌳 Where the tides meet purpose. 🌊🐚

This March 21, 2026, Project Baka-One journeys to Sta. Cruz to plant mangroves and help restore the lifelines of our coasts. Joined by 50 dedicated volunteers from the Project Baka-One initiative, each seedling placed into the shore becomes more than an act of planting, it is a step toward stronger coastlines, thriving marine life, and a more resilient environment for our communities.

Mangroves stand as nature’s guardians, protecting our shores, nurturing biodiversity, and shielding our homes from the tides of tomorrow. Through this effort, we grow not only forests by the sea, but also a deeper commitment to care for the world we share.
Together, let us root hope where land meets sea and plant the beginnings of a greener future. See you there, from Project Baka-one!

Sometimes, what we need most is not advice, but a friend who truly listens. That’s the heart of being a peer counselor — to be a safe space, a shoulder to lean on, and a reminder that no one has to go through their battles alone.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐎𝐧𝐞 proudly joins the 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐊𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫 program once again. A peer-to-peer counselling initiative led by Matias John Mercado, continuing the impact and bringing it twice as big and strong since its launch last October 29, 2024 at Brokenshire College Toril.

Now, with 100 participants, 10 schools and organizations, and 60 psych students gathered at Ateneo de Davao University, we witness the movement grow. This time it is louder, braver, and filled with more hope than ever before. 🌱

We are truly grateful for the chance to return, and we warmly acknowledge our former participants who have now embraced the role of junior facilitators and alumni guides: Ram Harley Laboy, Eramith Mikhalai Roldan, Naomi Carmille Reyes, and David Cañada. From once being learners to now stepping up as mentors, your growth and dedication inspire us all. 🙌

This is the heart of Project Kakampeer: listening without judgment, holding space with empathy, and building connections that heal. A high school peer counselling program to build empathy, trust, and support in our schools. It starts with a conversation. It grows into a movement. It becomes a promise.

To our 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐎𝐧𝐞 participants, thank you for showing up with open hearts and willing spirits. Through this workshop, you’ve learned that being a peer counselor is not about having all the answers, but about being present, listening with empathy, offering understanding, and walking alongside others in their journey.

🌟 The impact continues — and so does our promise. We’ll always be here: a friend you can lean on, and a peer who will truly listen. Kaya, huwag kang matakot — kasama mo kami, palagi. 💙 Maraming salamat muli, 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐊𝐚𝐤𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐫, for letting us grow, give back, and walk this journey with you. 🫂
