Architects do not just cut trees to BUILD structures, we also help GROW, preserve and protect nature. United Architects of the Philippines – Kuala Lumpur chapter believe that by preserving nature we can build a better future for the next generations. It was held in North Selangor Peat Swamp Forest together with Global Environment Centre (GEC) – a local organization that is registered in Malaysia as a non-profit organization but also works worldwide with both local and foreign partners. United Architects of the Philippines Kuala Lumpur Chapter members joined GECs tree planting event last August 18, 2018 together with other local and foreign participants from different organizations, company, industries, schools, as well as local families who wants to teach their kids the importance of preservation and appreciation of environment. There are almost 200 participants during the event.

“Heigh-ho!

Heigh-ho!

It's home

from work

we go!”

UAP-KL members on their way to the planting site.

The photo at the right side was taken during the UAPKL officers, Ar. Rodolf with Ar. Aleli discussed and clarified some rules and instructions with the GEC officer. During the orientation, most of the rules was instructed in Bahasa Melayu (local language), most of the members and participants did not understand the instructions. After the discussion with the GEC officer, we proceed with the planting.


‘Magtanim ay di biro,

maghapong nakayuko’

While Lawrence is digging to look for treasures…Nah! It is

for the saplings… UAPKL was assigned to lane 2 at the

planting site with 23 bamboo stick markings (3 meters

distance for each plant), Ar. Rodolf assigned 4 members

to dig (alternate) because the organizer provides the team

with 2 shovels only, other members will put the saplings

into the holes and then other members will tie the saplings

(1\3 high of the plant’s stem) to the bamboo stick, and

overall we planted 23 saplings. Like what the famous

Filipino song says, ‘Magtanim ay di biro, maghapong

nakayuko’, it is really true that it is so hard to plant, while

the sun is so high, the weather is really hot and we have to

finish early because it seems like it’s going to rain real

soon. After the planting event UAPKL members had a

simple lunch and chitchat with the other participants and

GEC group at the orientation area.

WE DIG

WE PLANT

….AND WE EAT !!! WE TIE
