I guess it's good too that , even as we ask the government to do its job, we also examine our lifestyle particularly irresponsible consumerism. Thanks. Hi Arcibald,

It is very alarming. <br/><br/>Tree planting is one way of helping out, another way is blogging about people who are letting this happen. <br/><br/>I do plan to retire in my hometown when I get old.

I hope they start planting as it's easier to squat on cleared land...

Will be glad to exchange links :-)<br/><br/>Hi inkblots,<br/>Thanks for clarifying :-) I'm actually glad I found your blog because I love Mindanao. Can't count the number of times I've been there. I'm not sure I'll be able to visit the place anytime soon so I'll visit your blogs instead. Thanks again.<br/><br/>Hi Kayni,<br/>I know, quite scary indeed. The problem is that they might be running out of land where they can plant trees :-(. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Nashman,<br/>Ganoon ba? To be honest, I don't know where Busol is hehe. Will change the title to include La-Trinidad because this is their problem as much as Baguio's.<br/><br/>Yeah the meningo scare really did drove people away from Baguio ano. Another one like that just might be the solution hehe. thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Lovelyn,<br/>Oo nga, it just might. Will wait for your report report if someone did (joke..) Art has close-up pictures in his website. Thanks. Hi Jerome,

Anyway, I am lending you the photo in my blog. I think there was a confusion in the message I left. I had a reservation since I do not have the permission of the models in my photo. But nonetheless, I can lend you that. (I was not able to delete "my reservation" statement in my reply. Since we have a common passion for Cordi, I might as well trust you on this. <br/><br/>Anyway, please do visit my other blogs abour Baguio and Cordi.<br/><br/>Cheers! Hi Bill!
