The future depends on what we are going to act and provide
in our present. Today, our dear mother earth faces abuse and disrespect as our
modern time requires more and more resources with the ever evolving technology
and human knowledge. Imagine a world without trees? Look at that devastation
made by floods that killed thousands of people and destroyed people’s basic
needs. We get what we give and as Mother Nature gives us these valuable things
of vitality, she also gives back what we gave like those pollution, illegal
logging and chemical irritants. The youth of today should realize this
importance and act or else we are the ones who will suffer for a payback.

Being one of the participants, I found it very challenging because I am really
not used into climbing high mountainous landmarks which made us real tired and
exhausted but seeing those nature views from the top greened by trees and grass
with the cute blue sky eased the physical exhaustion. Appreciating nature
yielded such an amazing feel thinking how God hands gave us this wonderful gift
and fear what will happen in the future if we continue to pollute and cut those
sturdy trees. Planting trees with friends and out dearest idol is the most
happiest and memorable outreach we did so far. One of my friends said that we
should visit the trees someday when we became old and see how tall they have
become.

After the event on the hills, we headed to Greenwich,
San Pablo
branch for a lunch while Mr. Chris Tiu tried to sit on every table greeting and
asking how we are doing, such a very nice guy indeed. Being a fan has always
fulfilling because it was his third outreach activity with us after a day with
the kids at Baseco and building homes in Pasig.
In behalf of my co-Tiunatics and co-Admins of his Official Tiunatics twitter,
group and fanpage, we would like to send our deepest gratitude for making us
part of various worthwhile, fun and heart fulfilling activities.
