Trees play a pivotal role in enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of urban plazas. First and foremost, they contribute to the visual appeal of these spaces, softening the harsh lines of buildings and providing a sense of natural beauty amidst the urban environment.

For us Filipinos, the plaza’s legacy as a public area is unquestionably very significant. It is a prominent religious and cultural site that remains a silent reminder of our tempestuous past. A structure and culture inherited from the Spaniards.
