Tree Planting with Chris Tiu and ECOwarriors volunteers at Tayak Hill, Rizal, Laguna


On June 12, 2012, I woke up at 3:30am to attend EcoWarriors' Tree Planting Program in Tayak Hill. We are set to meet at Robinsons Galleria, 5:30am. I got there 6:00am because its raining so hard. We waited for the Coaster where we rode to meet Chris Tiu at our first stop over in Makati. 

Chris Tiu giving some words to the volunteers.. :)

Stop Over at Petron SLEX.. :)

From Makati, we traveled approximately 2 hours to get to Rizal, Laguna. We stopped at the City Hall of Rizal, Laguna to get off the bus and rode a jeepney to get to Tayak Hill. We traveled about 6-7kilometers from the city hall to Tayak Hill.


And we made it.. :))

As we hike, this sign was on the way.. :)

We are going to the top of Tayak Hill where the program and launching of the song "PUNONGKAHOY" was held.. :)

It was very tiring to hike but when we reached the top of the Tayak Hill it was so refreshing. Because you can see the whole of LAGUNA.

 This was the View on the top of Tayak Hill.. :D

From there, we have to go down again because the location of the tree planting is on the other side of the mountain. As we go up the other side, I think i can't do it because I was so tired but I did it.

Chris Tiu teaching the volunteers what to do.. :)

We planted Mahogany seedlings. I think I planted three seedlings. After planting the seeds, we went to the "Landing Point" at the top of the tree planting site. In that "landing Point", the american soldiers drop their help for the guerrillas during the World War II. 

Picture taking at the "Landing Point" with the City Mayor and Chris Tiu.. :)

After this, we went to Greenwich Ultimart at San Pablo to eat late lunch. 

This was our lunch.. :)

Picture with Chris Tiu. :)
Chris bond with the volunteers in greenwich for about an hour. After bonding with the volunteers, he had to leave first because he has an appointment.

Last picture taking with Chris Tiu before he leave. :)

We left at the same time but as we travel, our bus suddenly stopped. We are told by the driver that the brakes of the bus is broken. We're stranded but we are not complaining because we bond and introduced ourselves. At 6:00pm the bus is ready to go but we have to transfer to another bus to make sure that we are going home safe. At about 8:00pm, we reached Robinsons Galleria. And while the driver is looking for the parking, we saw Chris Tiu's endorsements like Sterling Bank of Asia and Swatch.

I got home by 8:30pm. It was a very tiring yet an enjoyable experience.
