A heritage advocacy group urges the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to prioritize 'environment first' after about 200 trees were cut along Quirino Avenue in Manila to make way for a new skyway. In an exclusive interview with The Manila Times on May 27, 2026, Miguel Ordoño III, vice president of Renacimiento Manila, said recent tree-cutting operations along Quirino Avenue highlighted the need for greater transparency, public consultation, and sustainable urban planning.
