[Title] => Trees bear brunt of Milenyo’s’ fury
[Summary] => Typhoon "Milenyo" uprooted hundreds of trees that partially blocked roads in Metro Manila as it slashed through Central Luzon and made a direct hit at the capital yesterday.
Roads across the capital turned into obstacle courses as vehicles avoided toppled trees and large branches that were sent flying by winds howling up to 130 kph.
Some large trees snagged power and telephone lines on the way down. Most of the fallen trees partially blocked roads and had emergency crews busy clearing them with saws and machetes.

[Title] => For the record
[Summary] => Organizers of the recently-held Green Philippine Highways tree-planting project are claiming to have set a new world record for the most number of seedlings and saplings planted at the same time.
Originally hoping to plant half-a-million seedlings and saplings along major highways nationwide last August 25, the organizers claim more than 800,000 were actually planted, far, far eclipsing the 300,587 planted by India in 2005 to set the present record.

[Title] => Surviving this cruel world
[Summary] => The world has turned around many times before, and over the centuries, changes in the climate have evolved. Today, we really have a major problem with global warming. Indeed, the environment has become more cruel, with temperatures getting higher and hotter, and extreme weather changes causing disaster after disaster to happen almost everywhere, making life so much more difficult for people the world over. A year after Hurricane Katrina hit the United States, New Orleans has yet to recover from the devastating damage.

[Title] => KC joins greening of RP highways program
[Summary] => Among the various organizations that participated in the recent launching of the Green Philippine Highways (GPH) is the Knights of Columbus (KC).
A brainchild of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Angelo T. Reyes, the project involves the planting of indigenous and flowering tree species in major arteries in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao and major thoroughfares in Metro Manila. It aims to restore air quality, particularly in areas where pollutants are concentrated so that these localities can reclaim an environment that is safe to live in.

[Title] => EDITORIAL - Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
[Summary] => That the Philippines ranks second among Asean countries in terms of highly polluted air is not surprising. What is surprising is that it is not ranked number one. Cebu is also second to Manila in air pollution. Also not surprising. It would be surprising if it beat the latter.
