00:00 What is this plant that looks like a small banana plant?
00:05 It's not just flowering plants that give color to our surroundings this blooming season.
00:10 It's also the season now when other plants are blooming.
00:14 Let's get to know some of the flowering trees here in the Philippines
00:20 and find out why trees are important in our lives.
00:24 I'm Yu Meryanga, and here's what you need to know.

00:31 Many types of trees are blooming, so they are often planted as a seedling.
00:42 Here in Tomas Marato, you can usually see trees like this.
00:46 If you go around Metro Manila, you can see trees like this that are blooming red.
00:57 [music]
01:00 These flowers are called fire trees because they are like fire.
01:05 These trees have the same beauty.
01:11 But looks can be deceiving.
01:14 They are not native to our country, or non-native trees.
01:18 But if the fight is good, our native trees will not be caught.
01:25 [music]
01:28 This is a red silk cotton tree.
01:32 Its flowers are red and orange, which is why it's often seen in the jungle.
01:39 This is the reason why the tree behind me is called a flowering tree.
01:48 If you notice, it really looks like a flower.
01:51 Inside this flower, there is a single seed.
01:56 This is the reason why it can reach faraway places.
02:00 Look.
02:01 There are also some of the blooming native trees that also have the same beauty.

03:53 Last Lungson was also a disaster.
03:55 Last April, it was reported that the temperature inside the park is colder than outside.
04:01 You can see 3,000 trees and 8,000 ornamental plants here.
04:06 The trees provide not only dark and clean air,
04:12 but also the leaves produce moisture that helps cool the environment.
04:16 They are also considered natural air conditioners.
04:21 The cooling effect of a mature tree is equivalent to 10 room-sized air conditioner.
04:25 Our native trees are not only heat-resistant, but also in the rainy season.
04:36 This is because our native trees are typhoon-resilient.
04:40 I just noticed that the structure of this tree is different from our native tree, Malabeylac.
04:50 This wide root you see here is actually a pot rest root or a pot rest trunk.
04:57 This was developed by our native trees because we are typhoon-resilient.
05:03 In short, they know that the Philippines will have typhoon season every year.
05:09 That's why they developed these amphorae so that they won't fall even in a strong typhoon.
05:15 Meanwhile, it is not recommended to plant non-native trees in the mountains
05:20 because it can cause soil erosion and plant slight.
05:24 Other non-native trees are often invasive,
05:29 like the mahogany tree that is often planted in tree planting programs.
05:34 One of the properties of mahogany is that it is very aggressive.
05:40 That's why it became invasive, not just in the Philippines,
05:44 but in the whole world wherever it is planted.
05:46 It has an allelopathic property that is considered a threat to the environment.
05:51 It creates a sort of lasso on the soil where it is planted
05:58 that's why it inhibits the growth of other plants.
06:01 Although, there is also an allelopathic effect on our other native trees,
06:07 like for example, the nara.
06:09 But since the nara is native and has a relationship with plants and other trees for the longest time,
06:17 it has already adapted to the allelopathic property of the nara.
06:22 The importance of trees is not in our lives.
06:28 That's why we should plant more trees.
06:30 But not just trees, let's choose the real trees.
06:33 That's the point.
