The Department of Public Works and Highways XI has saved the 100-year old Acacia Tree in Barangay Daliao from cutting. This was revealed by PB Rodolfo Te to the Sangguniang Barangay as he read a letter from the DPWH during a regular session held last June 6, 2021. It can be recalled that four barangay officials, namely, Kgd. Joseph Dumogho, Kgd. Joven Anthony Mulat, Kgd. Raymund Zapanta, and Kgd. Ryan Maboloc, have petitioned the DPWH to save the heritage tree in order to preserve its value to the environment. Dr. Moises Torrentira, an environmental planner, gave an opinion that the tree is healthy and poses no threat to motorists. The Sangguniang Barangay passed a resolution endorsing the petition to the DPWH. The DPWH said in the letter that the on-going road widening project will be adjusted.
