mangrove: mankind



THE THREE jeepney liners are set. One day before the Tree-Planting Activity, Vincent cut those pre-cut bamboo poles as tree-guards. I cautioned them to hold it gingerly otherwise, they would get some splinters (saluso in the local term!).
Each student plants one mangrove seedling, and I instructed them to position their object of gravity one inch from the thicker stem. "Ani, ani!" (This, this) which is translated to You plant the mangrove until this part of the stem.
Should be aligned horizontally and vertically.
Bon is engrossed to the place that he does "Crab-Getting" instead of Tree-Planting. He documents the whole thing using his built-in camera. I waved with my mud-coated hand. The weather is pleasant. The kind of weather that you hanker for during rainy season.
