SONIA USHIRIGUCHI, the Guinness World Records adjudicator, awards the Guinness World Record to DOST and the Kawayanihan partners for achieving the Most Number of People Planting Bamboo Simultaneously .
A total of 2,305 planters participated in the record-setting event, which was conducted by DOST and its Kawayanihan Circular Economy Movement partners on October 18 in 19 different locations across Mindanao and Leyte.
