00:00Here in Quezon City, these trees are usually found in the name of calle, or sometimes in the name of panaderia.

00:26Where did the word kamuning come from?

00:28Very interesting, because a lot of people in the Philippines do not know that kamuning is a native Filipino tree.

00:36It's a tree with white flowers, white flowers that smell good at night.

00:43Do you have kamuning here, near here?

00:45Ah, we have it here.

00:47Oh yeah, can you show us?

00:49Yes, we have it, sorry.

00:50Here, we have pandak kamuning.

00:52Pandak, okay.

00:53Where?

00:54There's a pandak.

00:55There's a dark pandak, it doesn't grow.

00:57Okay, so this is it, this is the one and only here?

01:01Yes.

01:02Yes.

01:03And this is a Nara tree.

01:04Oh, at least it's also native, it's a national tree.

01:06That's a good tree.

01:07Back then, here in Tapat, there was a Nara tree that was killed by the owner.

01:11Oh my God, it's so big now.

01:12It's a twin.

01:14Killed?

01:15Killed.

01:16Why?

01:17Because it was rented from a grill restaurant or something.

01:28I'm here at the canton of Anonas and Lanzones.

01:31There are two roads here in Quezon City that are named after trees.

01:35We can see here on the map that there are also many roads here that are named after trees

01:41like Marang, Naranghita, Paho, Aranga, Anubing, Apitong, Amugis, Akle, Almasiga, Nara, etc.

01:53Most of these are native to the Philippines and there are also endemic trees.

01:58But most of these are rare to be seen, not just in Quezon City, but in the whole Philippines.

02:16This is the usual traffic in the canton of Anonas and Aurora Boulevard.

02:22Let's avoid that.

02:33Ma'am, can I ask you a question?

02:35Why do you think this is called Anonas Station?

02:39It's a love of my life.

02:41Do you know what Anonas is?

02:44No.

02:45Okay, thank you.

02:48Anonas can be attributed to a specific person who contributed to our Philippine history.

02:56Okay, thank you.

02:58You're welcome, sir.

03:03Aside from that, how did Anonas Street become Anonas Street?

03:09It's a tragic street because it's full of fruits.

03:13So it's a fruit?

03:14Maybe.

03:16Have you ever seen an Anonas?

03:18No.

03:19Okay.

03:20Anonas is a family tree of the Atis that also eats fruits.

03:27It was brought to the Philippines by the Spaniards from Mexico.

03:32It's rare to be seen now.

03:38If not for one street, Anonas would be known as a train station.

03:47Arriving at Santolan Terminal Station.

04:01Okay, so we got off at Anonas and came down here.

04:06Where does the word Santola come from?

04:09Maybe from the barangay Santola.

04:12But before it became a barangay, what is Santola?

04:17I don't know.

04:18It's like the tree of Santol.

04:23Because it's full of barangays in Pasig.

04:26Mangalan, Niogan.

04:28I don't know.

04:31That's it.

04:32Good answer.

04:42Hey!
