my children and grandchildren,

Living towers: Bitaog or palomaria (Calophyllum inophyllum) and anahaw (Saribus rotundifolius), national leaf of the Philippines.

"Take the backseat Khalifa and Eiffel,

make way to living towers reach heaven."

If I thought I was going to die tomorrow, I should nevertheless plant a tree today. - Stephen Girard
