🌿 Celebrating

Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth. Some species can grow up to 91 cm in a single day. It absorbs more carbon dioxide and releases more oxygen than many trees, making it a powerful ally against climate change.

Why bamboo? It thrives in more than 60 species across the Philippines, supporting industries from housing and handicrafts to furniture and food. Its deep root system helps prevent soil erosion and protect riverbanks and watersheds, while also providing sustainable livelihood opportunities for many communities.

Today, we highlight bamboo’s role in building resilience, supporting livelihoods, and protecting the environment.

July 2025: SG Sustainable Beautification Project by SGBAI
(by Lilia B LaMadrid)

Hello fellow environmental advocates ! We’re getting very close to launching our R B Mata St Sustainable Beautification Project through Native Ornamental Tree Planting . The planting Committee had been busy planning this project with our newly sworn in Kapitan Don Francisco and Kag Sydney Millare . We will be planting Salinggogon , a Philippine native tree with pinkish white flowers that usually bloom during the month of March / April . Our Phil Native Tree Enthusiasts member and our SGBAI consultant , Engr Jun San Miquel compares its blooms to the cherry blossoms in Japan and Korea .

So far we got an overwhelming positive response from residents fr from Sitio Estacion to beginning of Sitio Gitna with space in their front yard to participate in this project . Let’s see how the residents from the rest of Sitio Gitna , Pantok/ Labak, Agasas / Highway when we continue on with house to house assessment this coming Thursday ( July 3) .

Jessie and Rully Delos Poyos have been canvassing nurseries in Calabarzon areas for the availabilities of Salinggogon . Planting is scheduled for July 5 by our SGBAI tech Carlo Cuate .

Our meeting with the Barangay team is set for tomorrow July 2 , to discuss logistics to ensure these trees thrive to beautify as well as clean the air we breathe in our SanGuilmo year after year .

Because of the overwhelming response from our initial assessment we had surpassed the budget we set for the cost of the trees , so we would like to ask for your assistance . You may send any amount you can to our treasurer Azon Raymundo .
Please feel free to contact me on how you may send your donation to Azon .

We welcome any query , interest or participation on our existing and future projects .

UPDATE:
88 additional Salinggogon trees were warmly welcomed by residents with available front yard space on the second day of assessment. Our goal is to plant a total of 193 ornamental trees along R B Mata St. between July 5 and July 15. Thank you, Sanguilmo, for your enthusiasm in participating in our R B Mata St Sustainable Beautification Project, and thank you SGSB for your collaborative partnership.
