Rapist of the Environment Beware

While I am writing my article entitled "Wonderful Car vs. Environment" I am not aware that there is also cutting of trees going on in the other part of Mc Arthur highway. Almost all the trees along Sindalan, a part of San Fernando Pampanga, were cut. I heard they stop it only due to the intervention of some concern citizens.

It is sad to know that there are people who will do everything just to earn money even in the expense of their fellowmen and environment. And it is very alarming because they can do illegal logging in a broad daylight and busy highway. Which give us an impression that they have the blessing of some government officials.

There is a silver lining though; some Filipinos are now doing something to stop this. I heard that they took picture of the illegal loggers while the tree is being cut and threaten them a lawsuit. They even reported the illegal loggers to some media company. They also put the initial "RIP" on the cut trees, meaning "Rest In Peace", which is usually being put to the grave of a decease person. They also draw heart and human figure on the remaining trees. This show how deep is their love for those trees. The growing numbers of Filipino who are getting concern of the environment should cause an alarm to would be illegal loggers and government officials who condone them.
