Here are the pics that I have taken last wednesday, August 12, 2009 along the National Highway (near the damage bridge at BNAC) wherein 1 gmelina tree was uprooted even if there was no weather disturbance. Fortunately no pedestrian or motorist was hurt but it cause almost 2 hrs traffic on both lanes.

It is but right to call on the concerned agencies (DPWH, DSWD & DENR) to conduct inspection of trees planted along the highways to determine whether these trees are not hazardous to traffic. There is an existing DENR AO (i forgot the number) which allows for the cutting of dead and hazardous trees.

  1. Hi samuel! It looks like the base of the tree was burned as shown on picture # 2. If it is true, the tree will eventually fall down because there is no longer a support to the heavy trunk.

  2. attention sb members sa naval:
