The event started at 8am, when we arrived, the ushers gave us small laminated cardboards and asked us to write our name, and this was to be tied after our trees were planted on the soil. The ambiance exclusive view of Tagaytay Highlands is truly breath taking because all you can see is the beauty of nature without pollution and congestion. I fell in love with those old green trees, and the views overlooking Taal Lake. Planting trees had never been that good and enjoyable mixed with giggles and high spirits of my friends. As an ecowarrior, it was really fulfilling that you have planted a tree after your name in one of the Philippines’ exclusive nature heaven. Special thanks to our idol/co-ecowarrior, Chris Tiu who toured us around. -faf
