Dear Hon. Mayor Magalong,

Please stop the intended cutting of fifty four trees at Outlook Drive. The trees supply oxygen needs of at least two hundred sixteen people,  sequester more than 10 tons of carbon dioxide, help reduce global warming, recharge brooks and springs ,help  prevent water  run-off and act a buffer zone against strong typhoons and winds.

The importance of the trees is priceless.

We are appealing to you because we know you also  recognize the importance of trees in our beloved city and also because the company has already acquired a tree-cutting permit from DENR.

We hope you will act on this.

Very truly yours,

Michael A. Bengwayan
