Atong Ang, the co-accused in the plunder case of former President Joseph Estrada, who pleaded guilty to a lesser offense has started planting trees yesterday at the Quezon City Memorial Circle for his community service as part of the probation granted to him by the Sandiganbayan.
Ang joined 34 others prison parolees in the tree planting program supervised by a parole officer as part of the conditions ordered by the anti-graft court’s Special Division for Ang’s probation.
Among the companions of Ang in the tree-planting program are convicted offenders of minor crimes that were placed under probation by various courts.
