### Attending Meetings with the Local Governments In one of the post of @immarojas, **_"[Walk of Hope(WOH) Update: Promoting Steemit in Bayawan City, Negros Oriental, Philippines](https://steemit.com/steemph/@immarojas/walk-of-hope-woh-update-promoting-steemit-in-bayawan-city-negros-oriental-philippines)"_**, she mentioned this schedule of Kuya Marlon: > 0900 AM Inteview with the local station - Walk of Hope promotion, Steemit Philippines and Steemit 1400 PM Courtesy call at the local government cityhall Interview with the local newspaper Kuya Marlon is always coordinating with the local governments with regards to the first project of _Walk of Hope_; **Bamboo Planting**. They now have a place or area where bamboo sprouts will be planted. Even though it will take 3 years to mature, at least in that said time, the people in Bayawan will no longer get bamboos in their neighboring town as they can have their own bamboos three years from now.
