It will sprout in the Diliman Complex of Quezon City. One of our earliest childhood memories was the Jardin Botanico in Manila that was later expanded to a Zoo that included an elephant. We also had an aquarium. The aquarium survives in Intramuros, but, sad to say, it has not developed with the times.

It was also an occasion to reach out to the public and to government officials with a call to save the fast disappearing heritage of the city’s architecture and parks.
