insights on the MBG...
Having been able to step on the miniature of the Makiling Mountain is already a very big opportunity. We cadets, especially those who are not aware of the wonders that the mountain bears, are but lucky to be given the chance to explore the garden. I have realized how rich and diverse is that mountain. With all the trees, plants and flowers that benefit from its healthy soil, you can consider it already a castle; it is like a kingdom filled with treasure that not only are the royal family can benefit but the whole nation can take advantage of it. I am also in big awe to whole UPians who are behind this incredible project. It is so kind and humble of them to exert effort to preserve these species and to share knowledge to all of their visitors
