As Southeast Asia’s capital cities continue to experience rapid urbanization and population growth, how much lush greenery still remains within these expanding urban landscapes?

Here’s a visualization showing how much of the capital cities are still covered with forests, grasslands, or with considerable vegetation as of 2025, based on the latest update from the Esri Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover data.

Greenery coverage across the 10 ASEAN capital cities varies greatly. Naypyidaw and Vientiane remain among the greenest, while densely populated capitals such as Jakarta and #Manila are already heavily built up with buildings, roads, and other infrastructure.

Urban forests and vegetation play a crucial role in reducing heat, improving air quality, and protecting water resources, helping make cities more livable and resilient.

Long-term efforts, such as in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, to restore and expand green spaces are already delivering benefits to residents, from cooler surroundings to healthier urban environments. #urban #environment #ASEAN

Ano pong policy natin sa free bus @QCGov ? 4 minutes later pa umalis Yung bus. Nagmamakaawa si ate na makasakay. Naka ilang beses siyang balik. Pupunta sana siya sa QC hospital sa Muñoz.

Bawal ba nakatayo? Yung earlier buses naman pwede tumayo. Video taken at 8:56pm

May term na PIOLO sa Konektadong Pinoy Act: Passive Infrastructure Owner, Lessor, or Operator. Funny lang.

@DOTrPH Yung tao niyo sa Shaw MRT nagpapaniwala na matatapos Yung escalator soon eh Wala ngang laman Yung escalator. Tinanggal Yung buong escalator. Impossible na magawa iyon in a month.

This week I learned that traditional Jasmine tea is not really made from Jasmine flowers or leaves.
The scent of Jasmine flowers is infused into the tea leaves and then the flowers are removed.
I've been living a lie. Hahaha.

Lakas maka feeling VIP nung mahaba pila ng mga beep card palabas ng MRT turnstiles tapos ikaw lang sa gcash na gantry.

Nag-wowonder pa rin ako bakit kaunti pa rin gumagamit nung gcash for mrt-3 despite the convenience.

I will visit Wuhan end of the month tapos kapag binabanggit ko sa mga tao, COVID agad sinasabi.

It is actually in the top 10 most populous cities in China. It has a around the same (~14M people) as the whole of Metro Manila. Around a tenth of that are university students daw.

Not to discredit Ariel but Mang Tani did well naman as GMA's resident meteorologist and "ekspertong totoo" from 2012-2021. Unfortunately, hindi eksperto mga pinalit.

But yes, Ariel is a gem.

[Deej_ @deejhaymestero]

ABSCBN News found a gem in @arielrojasPH. Former connected with PAG-ASA, he is giving helpful information about the typhoon and can articulate well in layman's term what is happening. I think we now have the nation's go to meteorologist! It's been awhile since Ernie Baron. Great job! #UwanPH

Hindi clear sa presscon and sa reports ano ang anomalous kapag "underutilized" ang project dahil lang gawa ng (juridical) person-of-interest. Hindi ba skill (or capacity) issue ito ng receiving agency? Parang usable naman, underutilized lang?

LTO Chief Atty. Markus Lacanilao says that almost 2 billion peso worth of projects of LTO under Sunwest Inc. from 2021 have been completed but remain underutilized, including two buildings and a central command center. | via @_izzylee

@AgheroLabs Or integrate CrimPro into the "subject". And make it 15% Criminal Law and Procedure, 20% Remedial Law and Ethics for the final day.

TIL: May separate license ang mga konductor ng mga public utility vehicle.

[Wayne Manuel @wdmanuel]

Ang stupid nung policy ng @BDOPhil na no contact delivery daw ng credit card. No text or calls alloweed daw so two separate couriers na nag fail delivery kung credit card ko. I feel bad for the riders. Ano iyon, hintay lang sila sa lobby ganun?

[Wayne Manuel @wdmanuel]

Nag-mukhang barya yung mga awarded contracts sa top construction firms dati compared sa recent news.

Our focus back then was just Hilmarc's "over-priced" Makati City Hall building. Pero nandyan na yung Sunwest and Hi-Tone ni Zaldy Co.

This was from our research in 2014.

@Sparkle_GMA Kung hindi ito pure PR eh sana pinangalanan si Angel na star niyo rin naman.
