The Victor O. Ramos arboretum in Natividad, Pangasinan showcases more than 300 Philippine native trees and is the product of over two decades of hardwork. Nurturing and protecting these trees was a true labor of love. Together with the Philippine Native Tree Enthusiasts (PNTE), it is now being brought to the public for the very first time. Alay (which means “to offer”, or “an offering” in Tagalog) is our humble gift to all enthusiasts, environmentalists and fellow protectors of this precious resource. It is also dedicated to tomorrow’s custodians – may it give you the inspiration to grow and protect our beloved Philippine native trees.
