Undeterred by recent weather challenges, LIFE Champions and institutional partners gathered on September 9, 2026, at the La Salle Botanical Gardens and Alviera Country Club in Pampanga to celebrate the 20th OMTB Anniversary, "Dalawampuno: Dalawang Dekada ng Pagkalinga sa Inang Kalikasan." Following an immersive botanical tour, the meaningful program featured a solemn prayer by Ms. Ida Avila and inspiring video messages from Br. JJ Jimenez FSC and Br. Armin Luistro FSC, who warmly congratulated the program and encouraged everyone to look forward to future achievements driven by their collective love for nature. Alongside project updates from Ms. Jaja Bibar, heartfelt testimonies, and a concluding synthesis by LIFE Director Mr. Mark Joseph Tinao, the event beautifully showcased the resilient, two-decade commitment of advocates across the Lasallian network to protecting the environment.
