Sad Shadows

Trees in Baguio City (dubbed as the Philippines’ City of Pines) are being desecrated to give way to concrete pavements at an alarming rate.

 

Malls, subdivisions and other concrete structures are being built to “encourage” tourism. Business owners tend to forget that people visit the City of Pines for the cool weather, clean environment, scenic mountain views, and pine-scented air. Soon Baguio’s natural charm will just be a shadow from the past.

 

Which reminds me, whatever happened to the protests against the cutting of Pine Trees to give way for a parking space widening near the popular mall?
