It intertwines stunning imagery and heartwarming stories of individuals who have a personal experience with the trees. A perfect coffee table book or for some serious reading, the book appeals to a wide audience interested in getting familiar with our own trees. In January 2018, the third book PHILIPPINE NATIVE TREES 303: UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL was published, with editors Edwino S. Fernando, Marietta R. Marciano, Angelina P. Galang, Gloria M. Angara, Leonor G. Berroya and Imelda P. Sarmiento. Presented with the usual personal stories and given their local names, scientific classification and relevant factoids are 145 native trees, including 10 native palms. The lead photographers are Arceli M. Tungol and Reynold D.J. Sioson, with close to 60 other contributing photographers. Charisse Eryka R. Delson served as design and layout artist, and Victoria Aliño Camarillo as illustrator. The book is “gratefully dedicated” to Dr. Oscar M. Lopez, who is tagged by publisher Green Convergence as “Father Nature” not only for his philanthropic help in funding these books and other related ecological concerns and activities, but for his “nurturance of the environment.” Writes Angelina P. Galang: “By all measure, Osky is a lover of nature, a genuine conservationist and environmentalist. His mountain climbing passion is legend. Not least because he climbed Mt. Kinabalu — the highest mountain in Southeast Asia — at age 81!” The book also pays tribute to the legendary Leonard Co, “the county’s foremost field botanist” who tragically lost his life in a forest in Leyte in 2010, when he and two companions who were then collecting specimens became victims of military gunfire. Ronald Achacoso writes: “Leonard’s loss is ultimately this nation’s loss but one that it will never really comprehend. What ultimately killed Leonard Co was tyranny and the habit of mediocrity, ignorance, apathy and indifference.” In his Foreword, DSLU president Br. Armin A. Luistro, FSC notes: “This third book is an essential contribution not only to our care of the environment, but more importantly to that deeper search for the spirit that resides within and connects with that Great Spirit with whom ‘we live and move and have our being.’”
