Have you ever seen the following native trees: dita, kalumpang,
baguilumbang, dungon, malugai, bignay, pili, anonang, katmon, balitbitan,
palomaria, bagtikan, alagao, bagarbas, etc? Good thing, these native trees
could still be found in the U.P. Diliman campus. Join the rare treat of
walking around the State U Diliman campus to spot the nice specimens of
