The SM protect the trees rally

They say money is everything as the saying goes we learned things from the “Protect the trees protest rally at SM.” When itchy hands of people from Government agencies, Local government officials and other groups who have vested interest interplay, it effectively promoted SM’s own interest especially the cutting of many trees on its lot for a huge parking space. It can only be prevented by people who will be adversely affected. Baguio residents were united and showed SM and its cohorts that money is not everything. Giving bribes and gifts to these people who control permits and legal processes to be allowed to conduct activities that they call progress but an environmental abscess is totally unacceptable. Projects in the name of progress when obtained with bribes must be prevented and contested. Uniting for a common cause that affect our very existence must be a priority and setting aside projects of luxury. A parking lot produces more mono carbons that kill while trees produces oxygen for our lungs and traps water for drinking that essentially supports life. This clash of interest is a matter of choosing life or opting death.
