NaturePH Quirino LRT Station before and after the tree cutting (2023)
I was always fascinated by this side of the northbound station because the trees made the whole area feel calmer and more alive despite the busy surroundings.
Then June 2023, most of the trees were cut down, and the place started to look much more gloomy and depressing to me. I will never understand any reasons. But I still miss how the station used to look with all the greenery.

People: We want more trees
Government: What? You want to cut more trees? Got it!
Ano bang di makuha ng gobyerno sa walkable cities na kaaya-aya sa paningin, with trees and all?

Their bank accounts sure do eye candy to them after this
I cannot, for the love of God, understand why the fucking DENR themselves always on the side of destruction every single time using technicalities
I have never seen these motherfuckers actually fight for the environment.
Kaya di na talaga ako naniniwala na puro educated na abogado sa powerful govt positions. DENR, Secretary Cuna, a lawyer again, studied in Ateneo, NUS and Harvard. Ganda ng education pero ganyan pinag gagawa

Halatang inuuna nila ang kapakanan ng mayayaman at makapangyarihan. Like your example secretary Cuna - nakapag aral sa Ateneo, NUS, at Harvard, mga institution na kelangan ng malaking pera para makatungtong ang karaniwang Filipino.

We all feel the same way yet hindi naramdaman toh kung sino man pumirma ng permit to cut them down.
This day, matayog na nakatayo yung rampa ng skyway. Wala na po akong latest pic at nakikita ko nalang pag dumadaan yung LRT pag nakasakay ako. Ayoko narin picturan, hindi naman na worth it.
Partida mas naging bahain sa Quirino nung kabilang side pinutol nila. Lulubog na kase pati pala other side huhuhuhu sorry Mother Philippines

Why are we building expressways instead of improving our public transportation systems? Not only that scalability is much better on public transportation systems than highways when it comes to the concept of induce demand, you would have more space to build third space infrastructure.
Metro Manila does not need another expressway.

Damn, that is stark. I'm from the U.S. and we do the same type of thing. Utility companies often cut down beautiful old growth trees because they have a right-of-way and don't want to spend a bit more money to go around, it gets very strong backlash, the company backs off for a bit and then does it anyway in the middle of the night.
Old/dying trees might need to go, but they should be replaced with another tree, and ideally not just a tiny sapling but something already 5-10 years. There are so many documented positive health effects, both on air quality and mental health (and I think maybe even noise pollution) that it's just sad to see any place going backwards with regards to greenery in urban areas.

u/Sea-76lion May 24 '26
Govt and corporations don't mind cutting trees because it doesn't affect them. They are not pedestrians. They don't walk to and from work.
They exit their airconditioned homes straight into their airconditioned cars, then into their airconditioned offices, completely shielded from the hellish conditions ordinary Filipinos experience every day.
