Aakalain mo ba na ang lugar na Kamuning ay hango mula sa halaman na ‘Kamuning’ na may maliliit at mabangong bulaklak na puti?
Ano-ano pa nga ba ang mga lugar na ipinangalan mula sa punong karaniwang hindi na natin kilala?

00:00Here in Quezon City, these trees are usually found in the name of calle, or sometimes in the name of panaderia.
00:26Where did the word kamuning come from?
00:28Very interesting, because a lot of people in the Philippines do not know that kamuning is a native Filipino tree.
00:36It's a tree with white flowers, white flowers that smell good at night.
00:43Do you have kamuning here, near here?
00:45Ah, we have it here.
00:47Oh yeah, can you show us?
00:49Yes, we have it, sorry.
00:50Here, we have pandak kamuning.
00:52Pandak, okay.
00:53Where?
00:54There's a pandak.
00:55There's a dark pandak, it doesn't grow.
00:57Okay, so this is it, this is the one and only here?
01:01Yes.
01:02Yes.
01:03And this is a Nara tree.
01:04Oh, at least it's also native, it's a national tree.
01:06That's a good tree.
01:07Back then, here in Tapat, there was a Nara tree that was killed by the owner.
01:11Oh my God, it's so big now.
01:12It's a twin.
01:14Killed?
01:15Killed.
01:16Why?
01:17Because it was rented from a grill restaurant or something.
01:28I'm here at the canton of Anonas and Lanzones.
01:31There are two roads here in Quezon City that are named after trees.
01:35We can see here on the map that there are also many roads here that are named after trees
01:41like Marang, Naranghita, Paho, Aranga, Anubing, Apitong, Amugis, Akle, Almasiga, Nara, etc.
01:53Most of these are native to the Philippines and there are also endemic trees.
01:58But most of these are rare to be seen, not just in Quezon City, but in the whole Philippines.
02:16This is the usual traffic in the canton of Anonas and Aurora Boulevard.
02:22Let's avoid that.
02:33Ma'am, can I ask you a question?
02:35Why do you think this is called Anonas Station?
02:39It's a love of my life.
02:41Do you know what Anonas is?
02:44No.
02:45Okay, thank you.
02:48Anonas can be attributed to a specific person who contributed to our Philippine history.
02:56Okay, thank you.
02:58You're welcome, sir.
03:03Aside from that, how did Anonas Street become Anonas Street?
03:09It's a tragic street because it's full of fruits.
03:13So it's a fruit?
03:14Maybe.
03:16Have you ever seen an Anonas?
03:18No.
03:19Okay.
03:20Anonas is a family tree of the Atis that also eats fruits.
03:27It was brought to the Philippines by the Spaniards from Mexico.
03:32It's rare to be seen now.
03:38If not for one street, Anonas would be known as a train station.
03:47Arriving at Santolan Terminal Station.
04:01Okay, so we got off at Anonas and came down here.
04:06Where does the word Santola come from?
04:09Maybe from the barangay Santola.
04:12But before it became a barangay, what is Santola?
04:17I don't know.
04:18It's like the tree of Santol.
04:23Because it's full of barangays in Pasig.
04:26Mangalan, Niogan.
04:28I don't know.
04:31That's it.
04:32Good answer.
04:42Hey!
