"Nalulungkot ako kasi syempre, mawawala. Hirap na hirap kami tapos bigla nalang mawawala. Nakakaiyak — anlalaki na ng mga puno. Kuya Romeo, umiiyak ka rin? Nalulungkot lang talaga kami, sabi ko "paano yung mga inalagaan natin. Hirap na hirap na tayo, tapos basta lang mawawala?" -Ate Irene, Masungi Park Ranger, on the planned nullification of the Masungi Geopark Project Memorandum of Agreement by Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Ma. Antonia "Toni" Yulo-Loyzaga. This video was taken during the Rock for Masungi Solidarity Event on April 21, 2024. #SaveMasungi Sign the petition to support the project: Express your opposition directly to the Secretary: [email protected] Visit the project:

Paano naman kami? Seldom seen but always there, the musang—or Asian palm civet—emerges after dark to do its quiet work: eating fruits, dispersing seeds, and helping forests grow back. Here in Masungi, the musang has found refuge. Away from snares. Away from shrinking forests. Away from harm. But even this safe space is now at risk. Masungi Georeserve faces eviction and dismantling—not to save nature, but because of politics and private gain. If this sanctuary falls, so do the unseen lives it shelters. To President Bongbong Marcos and the Office of the President: we ask you to step in. Fulfill your promise to protect Philippine biodiversity. For the musang, for our forests, for future generations—please help us #SaveMasungi

“Masungi is my refuge — a place I return to whenever I need peace, clarity, and a reminder of God’s creation.” In this heartfelt moment, Melai Cantiveros shares why Masungi has become her refuge — a place she returns to for peace, reflection, and a deeper connection to God’s creation. She talks about seeing the forest grow fuller with every visit, thanks to the tireless work of our park rangers who protect the mountains of Rizal, Tanay, and Antipolo. For Melai, these landscapes are more than scenic views — they shield communities from storms and offer a reminder that when nature suffers, we all do. Her message is clear: let’s not allow our mountains to be destroyed or taken for granted. Let’s protect Masungi together. Help safeguard these landscapes.

With Pasig City residents being some of the beneficiaries of a healthy watershed, Mayor Vico Sotto urges the DENR to dialogue and collaborate with the Masungi Georeserve Foundation. Mayor Vico and his team visited the project site in 2022 to see the state of the watershed and the work being done to address deforestation. According to studies by the WorldBank and flood modeling by the Manila Observatory, a reforested Upper Marikina Watershed will help decrease the flood extent and flood volume in Pasig and Marikina City, should another Typhoon Ondoy happen. The group also planted native Katmon trees as a reminder of their visit and a symbol of their commitment to conservation in the uplands.

Did you know that Masungi is located at the southernmost tip of the Sierra Madre? 🌿 This vast mountain range, along with nearby and faraway forests, plays critical roles in sustaining cities and populations. Nearby forests help prevent soil erosion, reduce urban heat, and serve as green lungs, improving air and water quality for surrounding communities. Faraway forests like the Sierra Madre act as climate regulators, protectors against typhoons, and biodiversity hotspots, providing vital resources and safeguarding the ecological health of the entire region. Together, they are nature's lifeline—indispensable for our survival and well-being! 🌏✨
