Since January this year, Baguio residents have been campaigning against the decision of SM Development Corp to remove 182 trees from Luneta Hill as part of its expansion plan.
SM intends to convert the area into a parking lot and entertainment plaza.

I guess, SM Development Corp doesn't know meaning of "common good".
Yah. Common, most of the time, is not common at all.
In one of our usual conversations, I told my little sister, Kimmy about the plan of
SM Development Corp on Baguio Trees.
Kimmy: Ah. Talaga? Bakit nila puputulin ang trees?
Me: Gagawa kasi sila ng parking lot and entertainment plaza.
Kimmy: Bakit kailangan pa putulin ang trees?
Me: Kasi wala ng space sa Baguio.
Kimmy: Ahhy. Talaga? Siguro ang laki-laki na ng SM sa Baguio kaya hindi na kaysa ang mga tao.
(Hindi katulad dito sa Naga) [may laman ang statement na 'to]
Me: LOL. Payag ka ba gawin nila yun?
Kimmy: Hindi!
Me: Bakit? Di ba, nag eenjoy ka sa SM?
Kimmy: Oo. Gusto ko kasi mag bake tska bumili ng toys. Pero kawawa naman sila.
Me: Sinong SILA?
Kimmy: Kawawa naman yung mga baby birds, wala na silang matitirahan. Malaki na naman na ang SM.
Di ko nga kayang bilhin lahat ng toys dun.
How can we tolerate this act? SM Development Corp said that trees
would be balled and not cut down. Earth-balling involves cutting down
90%-95% of the roots. This means = VERY LOW
chance of survival of trees.
As a protest, I made the shirt above.
I'm planning to go to SM in awhile so that they would know that
this issue is not just among the people of Baguio, this
is a national issue which needs to be stopped!
Despite temporary environmental protection order, the digging continues.

Only when the last river has been poisoned,
Only when the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten."
