PROTEST FOR THE WIDESPREAD TREE-CUTTING

Dear President Bongbong Marcos,
Dear DENR Secretary Atty. Mitch Cuna,
Dear Mayor Isko Moreno,
Please please please, Iโm begging you to stop the cutting of trees along Roxas Blvd. and Quirino Avenue.
200+ trees have been cut. 400+ trees can still be saved.
Kung kelangan talaga, gastusan ang earth balling or transfer of the trees.
Basta NO CUTTING.
May fun runs at Carless Sunday dyan sa Roxas Boulevard nuon. Tapos aalisin nyo mga puno?
Maawa kayo, please. ๐
#SaveTheTrees
THEY PAVED PARADISE AND PUT UP A SKYWAY
I condemn the DENR for allowing the tree-cutting and earth-balling of HUNDREDS OF TREES along Quirino Avenue in Manila City.
All of these trees cut.
Just to pave the way for the construction of the โSouthern Access Link Expresswayโ (SALEX) by San Miguel Corporation.
The SALEX spans a measly 4 kilometers but four elevated lanes.
A total of 617 trees will be affected.
617 trees โ all of it for just 4 kilometers of an expressway which will never reduce traffic because all expressways have been proven to actually induce demand for automobiles according to empirical research and scientific studies.
Hundreds of trees have ALREADY been cut but hundreds more will be cut in the next few days.
I call on President Bongbong Marcos, the DENR, SMC, and the City of Manila to stop this madness.
SAVE THE TREES!
