This is the woods that is threatened by destruction because of enterprising, greedy humans wanting to build more and more buildings in the city.
The trees here are only slightly older than I am. I remember back in grade school when the young pine trees were planted. Then year after year, I saw them grow together into what it is now: a beautiful piece of greenery near the city. It is relatively untouched because a wall surrounds it. But now, it is in danger of being converted into another cemented area. Won't the Department of Environment and Natural Resources do something about it? Mr. Atienza, is this going to be another Arroceros Forest Park?
This photo was taken near the UP Baguio entrance. The Convention Center can be seen beyond the trees.
