I would like to call the attention of all: If you are a member of non-profit organization, elementary (at least 10 years old –with parental consent and guidance) and high school students and private citizen you are wanted! Presidential Decree 1153 (1977), requiring all citizen 10 years and above to plant one tree a month for 5 years. www.lawphil.net/statutes/presdecs/pd1977/pd_1153_1977.html

Every second changes have been taking place along the water ways from Marikina and Montalban boundary because of soil erosion. Not to mention every time it rains same thing happened. The river is getting wider and shallow due to rapid siltation endangering the lives of families living along or near the banks of the river. The distraction of the river banks is eminent every year especially now that weather pattern is changing. Due to global warming you will observed that more flooding will take place. Last year during typhoon Ondoy suffering due to property lost, and lives was everywhere you can imagine.
Tree planting project will cover the entire stretch from and to boundaries of Marikina and Montalban along water ways. Narra, Mahogany and Edible bamboo will be provided. Where in the world you will get all of the trees? The government agency will supply the planting materials. I already sent letter to Forest Management Bureau asking help.

Right now I am communicating with different government agencies including Rizal Governor Mr. Ynares III. We can do it! Spread the news. Who is this talking? Does he have a track record? I am from Dulong Bayan II check narra trees planted on four corners of basketball court at DE Los Angeles Subdivision (I did not personally planted those trees but friends did, I only provided planting materials). I am partly owner of a 1.5 acres property in Baras Rizal surrounded with two rows of Narra and Mahogany trees as wind breaker along North and East side. Along the South and West side edible Bamboo It is pretty. I am not boasting, what I am saying; I done this before. Except that I pay for those trees. I have Narra tree in front of my house and also I gave one to my Kumpare 3 houses away from me. I have rambutan, Pili nut tree in one of my property in Malanda that I personally planted those.
Trees will beautify this section of town and it will mitigate further destruction of the river banks for future generation, it will attract birds and other wild animals too.
If you have un-wanted trees of any kind on your property that can be un-earth please transfer those to a bucket.
Facts: Anything you plant in Sa Mateo will grow because of abundance of water and I would say it is a gift. I am willing to spend out of pocket money to start this project. Your help is highly appreciated (“taga-hukay”). I need volunteers. I need names and contact number. Send to my email address: fcobarrubias@mt.gov will start calling you end of August.
Thank you
