Science says we need four basic elements to survive:

- Food
- Water
- Air
- Light

Now here's what Jesus says:

- I am the bread of life
- I am the living water
- I am the breath of life
- I am the light of the world

Science was right, we all need Jesus.

Ipapaalala ko lang po ang sinabi ni Mayor Vico Sotto:

“Hindi lang sila basta naglalaglagan, gusto nila magulo ang kwento. Gusto nila lituhin tayo. Gusto nila na di na natin malalaman ang totoo.”

"These are people who are really capable of lying without batting an eyelash."

Under the Clean Water Act, this requires emergency clean up by the government. But where is the DENR when u need them? Cutting trees in Manila and Palawan?

Please, clean it up and bill the polluter/s.

A heritage and urban advocacy group has rejected the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ (DENR) temporary suspension of tree-cutting activities along Quirino Avenue, arguing that the move fails to address what it describes as the root problem: the continued construction of major elevated expressway projects in Metro Manila.

In a strongly worded statement, cultural organization Renacimiento Manila said the recent suspension announcement and the relocation of two trees to Plaza Lawton amounted to little more than a damage-control effort amid growing public backlash over the cutting of mature trees linked to the planned expressway developments.

“Temporary Suspension is NOT Cancellation!” the group declared.

The organization argued that public opposition extends beyond the issue of tree-cutting itself and is fundamentally directed at projects such as the Southern Access Link Expressway (SALEX), the Northern Access Link Expressway (NALEX), and the controversial Pasig River Expressway (PAREX).

“We do not need more skyways,” the group said, describing elevated highways as “massive concrete heat sinks” that worsen urban heat and degrade communities.

Renacimiento Manila also criticized proposals to replace removed trees with seedlings, arguing that newly planted trees cannot immediately replicate the environmental benefits provided by decades-old mature trees.

The group warned that the expressway projects could have long-term impacts on some of Manila’s most historically and culturally significant areas, including Roxas Boulevard, the Pasig River, Ermita, Malate, and Intramuros.

The statement further expressed skepticism over the DENR’s characterization of the halt as temporary, pointing to previous developments involving PAREX. The group noted that San Miguel Corporation had earlier announced it was reconsidering the Pasig River project before later indicating that it would proceed with modifications.

“We are not fooled by this so-called temporary suspension,” the organization said.

The group also accused project proponents of “greenwashing” infrastructure developments by highlighting tree relocation and replacement efforts while continuing with plans that critics argue could permanently alter Manila’s remaining green spaces and heritage districts.

The statement comes as public debate continues over the recent removal of mature trees along Quirino Avenue, a move that sparked criticism from environmentalists, urban planners, heritage advocates, and local residents.

While DENR has announced a temporary halt to tree-cutting operations pending further review, critics continue to call for a broader reassessment of expressway projects they believe prioritize vehicle traffic over environmental protection, public spaces, and long-term urban livability.

Renacimiento Manila ended its statement with a direct appeal to policymakers and project proponents: “Kill the Skyways — Not Our Trees and Communities.”

The group also called for accountability from officials and agencies involved in approving projects that they claim threaten Manila’s remaining urban forests and historic districts.

The critically endangered Philippine eagle is one of the largest and most powerful eagles on Earth.

This magnificent predator is threatened by deforestation and habitat loss, with fewer than 1,000 thought to remain in the wild.

100 seedlings cannot replace one mature endangered tree. Global seedling survival rates are only 20–50% — half or more may never make it. And those that do? Still need 50–100 years to come close. We're not replanting what we're losing. We're handing the next generation the bill.

For a while, this looked like Lakeshore Boulevard in Chicago. But all that is gone. And what is left are the ugly remnants of ill conceived and badly planned metropolitan development.

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

This is one of the MAJOR streets in Nice 🇫🇷 Lots of trees along a walkable sidewalk. The road is mainly for the tram.

In the street where I live, there are flowering trees. If you go to Paris, the streets there are not wide and people rely on public transpo, NOT expressways.
