MGA BUNDOK NG SAN CRISTOBAL AT BANAHAW

Ang pagkapagpatibay sa Batas Republika Bilang 9847, na lalong kilala sa katawagang “An An Establishing Mounts Banahaw and San Cristobal In The Provinces of Laguna and Quezon As A Protected Area Under The Category Of Protected Landscape,” na nilagdaan ni Pangulong Gloria Macapagal Arroyo sa isang palatuntunang ginanap sa Calamba City kamakailan, upang ganap na mabigyan ng proteksyon ang kapaligiran ng dalawang bundok na kinikilalang pinakamalaking watershed na tumutustos ng inuming tubig sa malalaking bahaging dalawang lalawigan. Nakaupo sa harapan ng hapag sina Deputy Speaker Amelita Villarosa at Quezon Congressman Proceso Jaraza Alcala, ang principal author ng pinagtibay na batas, na sinaksinah nina Environment Secretary Joselito Atienza, Laguna Governor Teresita S. Lazarom kasama sina Congressmen Ivy Arago, Timmy Chipeco, at Egay San Luis na pawang co-author ng batas. Sang-ayon sa mga lider ng Philippine National Historical Society, ang Republic Act No. 9847 ay isang “landmark legislation.” (Ruben E. Taningco)

DOÑA LEONILA (MINI-FOREST) PARK

What is now known as Doña Leonila (Mini-Forest) Park overlooking the Sampaloc Lake is actually a portion of the site for the City Hall Complex purchased in 1937 by the Municipal Government of San Pablo headed by President Inocencio Barleta, which was partly developed after the termination of World War II under the administration of appointed City Mayor, Dr. Fernando A. Bautista. During the incumbency of elected Mayor Lauro D. Dizon Sr., with the help of the Rotary Club of San Pablo, and under the supervision of Dr. Juan B.
