Rotarians, their partners and family memb join hands to preserve urban bird sanctuary aprotect the environment in Metro Manila
1 September 2015 Rotary Club of Holy Spirit Club No. 69935 RI District 3780 Philippines Vol. VIII No
After more than a month of preparations, RCHoly Spirit and partners held the Tree Plantingand Shoreline Clean-up Drive on August 30,
2015 at the Las Pinas-Paranaque CriticalHabitat and Ecotourism Area (LPPCHEA), acoastal wetland and bird sanctuary in the me-tropolis. It was done in cooperation with Cari-tas Novaliches and the Department of Envi-ronment and Natural Resources (DENR) Na-tional Capital Region.
LPPCHEA is the first criticalhabitat to be declared in thecountry. It covers 175 hec-tares of wetland ecosystem.It has been designated by theDENR as the country‟s sixth
Wetland of International Im-portance because of the“critical role it plays in the sur-vival of threatened, restricted-range and congregatory birdspecies.” Around 82 wild birdspecies are found inLPPCHEA, 41 of which aremigratory. LPPCHEA con-sists of two (2) islands – Free-dom Island and Long Island. The tree-plantingactivity initiated by RC Holy Spirit was con-ducted in Freedom Island.
A total of 505 seedlings and saplings of trees(Mangkono, Kamuning , Banaba. Aguho andMolave) were planted by over 250 Rotariansand family members, Rotaractors, Interactorsand advocates of environment protection.They were given technical briefings by Mr Rey Aguinaldo, Focal Person, Critical Habitat &Ecotourism Area, and by Mr Caloy Gubat, LayCoordinator, Environmental Protection Pro-gram, of Caritas Novaliches. Mr Gubat hadretired from the DENR.
Along with the planting came the challenging
task of cleaning up the shoreline that wasteeming with all sorts of garbage. The hot and
humid climate typical in coastal areas dprevent the so-called “warriors” from their share in the herculean task of cle
up. Then, brunch of binalot food was seIt was a time to get together and fellowith one another. Indeed, it was a funadventure and a welcome respite for the dees, some of whom felt like “heroes” foring joined the activity.
The project received the support of 26 including one from D3830 where the LPPCHlocated. In addition, 1ganizations and fasponsored the drive togwith a host of Rotarians
non-Rotarians. RC Spirit thanks the coclubs, sponsors and dowithout whose supporproject would not have as successful as it turneto be.

Mangkono – ( Xanthostemon verdugonianus is a species of plant inthe Myrtaceae family.The species is endemic to the Philippines and is known to havea very limited habitat. It is indigenous only within the so-called„Mangkono Triangle‟ area, consisting of the Dinagat Island inSurigao, the Homonhon Island in Samar, Babatngon, Leyte, and
in Palawan.Mangkono is a medium sized-tree reaching a diameter of 50 cmor more with a very irregular, fluted and bent bole.
Known to be the hardest Philippine hardwood species. Becauseof its inherent hardness and high density, Mangkono has longbeen recognized as a substitute for the world famous Lignumvitae (Guaicum officinale L.). Mangkono is an excellent materialfor the bearing or stern bushing of a steamship‟s propeller shaft.Its other uses are as rollers, shears, saw guide blocks, tool han-dles, novelties, poles and piles for wharves and bridges, and
posts for houses.Status: Rare and Endangered
Kamuning – (Murraya paniculata). Kamuning isa tropical, evergreen plant native to southern China, Tai-
wan, the Indian sub-continent (i.e. India, Nepal, north-
eastern Pakistan and Sri Lanka), south-eastern Asia (i.e.
Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia,
Malaysia and the Philippines) and northern Australia (i.e.the northern parts of the Northern Territory, far northern
Queensland and northern Western Australia), bearing smal
white, scented flowers, which is grown as an ornamental
tree or hedge. Murraya is closely related to Citrus, and
bears small orange to red fruit resembling kumquats, though some cultivars do not set fruit.
Aguho - Casuarina equisetifolia
Casuarina equisetifolia is an evergreen tree growing to 6 –35 m (20 –115 ft) tall. The foliage consists of slender, much-branched green togrey-green twigs 0.5 –1 mm diameter, bearing minute scale-leaves inwhorls of 6 –8. The flowers are produced in smallcatkin-like inflorescences; the male flowers in simple spikes 0.7 –4 cm long,the female flowers on short peduncles. Unlike most other speciesof Casuarina (which are dioecious) it is monoecious, with male and fe-male flowers produced on the same tree. The fruit is an oval woodystructure 10 –24 mm long and 9 –13 mm in diameter, superficially re-sembling a conifer cone made up of numerous carpels each containinga single seed with a small wing 6 –8 mm long.

Banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) Banaba is a medium-sized tree which grows up to30 meters in height and about 40 centimeters indiameter at breast height.
Banaba is widely distributed in the Philippines. It
can be found in the Batan Islands, Northern Lu-zon, Palawan, and Mindanao. Specifically, it canbe found along riverbanks, swamps, and in moistforests of alluvium soil in secondary forests at lowand medium altitudes.
Due to the tree‟s dense and wide spreading root system, Banaba is used for erosion control. The treehas been used in reforestation of degraded hills in Java. It is cultivated for ornamental purposes and aa roadside tree.
Traditionally, banaba is a popular medicinal plant. Its dried bark and dried leaves are used for the
preparation of medicinal tea against kidney trouble. Extracts obtained from boiling its bark is used as adrink to induce alertness, reduce fever and to cure abdominal pains.
Bark soak in water can be taken to stop diarrhea. The bark leaves and flowers are used to induce bowmovements or loosen the stool. Old leaves and ripe/dried fruit, taken like tea, reduce blood sugar.
Leaves boiled in water are taken to clear obstructions from the natural ducts of the body and induce urnation. Extracts from boiling the roots are used against small ulcers of the mouth. A leaf poultice is useto relieve malarial fever and applied on cracked feet.
Molave - Vitex parviflora is a species of plant inthe Verbenaceae family, known as smallflowerchastetree,[1] or molave tree. It is found in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Molave is a medium to large tree attaining a diameter of 100 to 15centimeters and a height of 25 to 30 meters. In exceptional casesit reaches a height of 35 meters or more and a diameter of 200centimeters with a bole from 16 to 20 meters.
Molave, being one of the hardest woods, is used in railroad ties,ship-building, wagon-making, bridges, cabinet, carabao yokes, cog-wheels, inserted cogs, saltwaterpiles, plane stocks, sugar mills, sculpture, and carving wooden tools, tool handles, novelties, agricul-tural implements, and high-grade construction where strength and durability are required.
Leaves are used as fodder. It is resistant to fungal, termite, and lyctus beetle attack, but not to marineborers.
Its wood and bark have curative effects on wounds and poisonous bites. The leaves are used to feedcattles, carabaos, and goats, especially during the dry season when rangelands are somewhat barren.Wood extract is considered a good remedy for poisons, as a dose of it will induce vomiting. The extraccan also be used in treating diarrhea, jaundice, and dropsy.

There was once a strong young man whowas offered a job as a woodcutter. He setabout his task with energy: The first week,he turned 18 trees into firewood. The sec-ond week, he worked just as hard, but was
surprised to find he had chopped only 11trees. The third week, despite working non-stop from morning till night, the numberwas six, and he went despairingly to theforeman to offer his resignation. "I am los-ing my strength. I can no longer cut as
any trees as I once could."
e foreman looked at the young man, who seemed to him ine health. "Have you thought of sharpening your ax?" he asked.
harpen my ax? Who has time to sharpen an ax?" the youngan asked indignantly. "I have been too busy chopping wood!"
hen we aren't making the kind of progress we feel we should
making, the natural response is to redouble our efforts.ometimes, though, the better response is not to work harder,t to work smarter. Look at your tools. Analyze your processes.e you directing your resources in the most effective ways? Ore you pouring all your strength into chopping wood with a dull?
r the last 20 years, we have relentlessly beaten the drum ofembership in Rotary. We set goals and launch campaigns, allcused on bringing in more and more members. And yet, ourerall numbers remain the same.
s time to sharpen our tools. Instead of focusing on the ques-n, "How can we bring more members into Rotary?" we should
asking ourselves, "How can we add more value to Rotary
embership, so that more will join and fewer will leave?"
ne way we are doing that is with the new Rotary Global Re-ards program, which launched in July. This innovative programows Rotarians to connect with, and receive discounts and con-ssions from, businesses and service providers around the
orld. Individual Rotarians may submit their own business to becluded alongside those with which Rotary has already negoti-ed relationships; the most appropriate offers will be added toe listings. We have also created the option of allowing busi-sses to return a percentage of their profit on each transactionour Rotary Foundation, and several companies have alreadyen locked into this part of the scheme. Each month we willdate the list with additional offers that we may receive. I urge
of you to try it out by signing up on My Rotary at Rotary.orgw. The more Rotarians participate, the stronger, and moreneficial, the program will be.
uch more than another loyalty program, Rotary Global Re-ards is a new way to benefit from being a Rotarian, and beingrt of the Rotary network. It is another way to combine businessd service. And it is yet another way to add value to Rotary
embership. We cannot forget that our potential members willasking themselves, "What's in it for me?" We need to demon-
ate the value of Rotary by showing that becoming a Rotarianwill enrich their lives, as it has ours.
