EXHIBIT
Embedded Files
This exhibit unveils the most visible, most interesting, and assumed to be the oldest among the wayside, perennial plants found inside the main campus of our Sintang Paaralan that were said to be cultivated from the 1970s.
This section of the exhibit showcases the wayside, perennial plants arranged from the year it was estimated to be planted and exhibits their interesting and distinguishing characteristics ready to captivate us. Moreover, each plant has its own video presented by our virtual exhibit docents!
These videos were specially made with a delightful delivery of each docent's own style of communicating charming facts about our chlorophyllous friends. Detailed information from its ecological importance up to its historical value will be found once you click a teaser that is found below each plant photo. As you read any of the plant profiles and find any terms that you do not have any idea on what is it or maybe it is too hard to grasp on, especially those botany and/or medical-related, you may search for the definition from the Glossary tab.
Lastly, may the odds be ever in our favor... uhhh, I mean... May you have fun exploring this floral gallery of the virtual exhibit!
You all remember this Filipino quote that goes like “Kapag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng tinapay”... Uhm, can I toss a Breadfruit, instead?
Just kidding! Anyway, if you want to know more about what I am talking about just click this, AND YOU’LL SEE *winks*… (click here to view more)
Some religions believe in the power of nature. They believe in the natural forces that drive us towards the path of enlightenment. Well, who does not want to be enlightened?
This tree is sacred for Buddhists as they believe Gautama Buddha meditated and achieved enlightenment under this tree. It is even a sin for them to harm such kinds of natural entities... (click here to view more)
Look! Look up in the sky! It’s a bird!.. Then it's a horse?!
Sorry, but it does not sit right. But I swear you’ll know what I mean if you’ll take some time to know Agoho or Casuarina equisetifolia. To be honest, these trees are older than my dad jokes, they have been thriving in PUP since 1971!... (click here to view more)
(Saribus rotundifolius (Lam.) Blume)
We all know that PUP is the home for students with a burning passion for the nation. I mean, you all know about the “chair thing” stereotype, right? As PUPians, we believe that we are the vessel and a symbol of change for a brighter future. Kind of dramatic, huh? But hey! There is nothing more symbolic than seeing the National Leaf of the Philippines just around the campus! Yes, Anahaw palm can also be seen inside PUP Main Campus! You can know more fun things about Anahaw if you will... (click here to view more)
(Albizia saman (Jacq.) F. Muell.)
Looking for a magnificent tree with high durability, water-resistant, and have natural antibacterial properties as your furniture?
While this tree has lots of amazing properties, did you know that old people in some communities believe that an old Akasya tree is a home for some Philippine elemental creatures like duwende and kapre? Sounds creepy yet thrilling right?... (click here to view more)
Are you also one of the so many PUPians who would always buy hilaw na mangga with lots of bagoong from Kuya/Manong near the exit gate of PUP?
Who doesn’t love mangoes?! I tell you of someone who got a T.L. for mangoes... (click here to view more)
SSSHHHHH…. Hold on tight and shut your eyes for a while as we pass through a grove of mahogany trees — did you notice the deafening silence?... (click here to view more)
(Gmelina arborea Roxb. ex Sm.)
Do you ever feel like you want to go to a place where you can take a nap, relax, and have some “ME TIME” but also want to be near the Lagoon so you can buy something to eat?
Me, too! That is why my friends and I would always go in front of the Charlie del Rosario Building, where we can enjoy the shade from Melina trees… just be careful, the fruit may hit your head, though... (click here to view more)
“Ten tenenenen ten ten teneneneen tenen tene nene nenen ♪♫” (in tune of graduation march sound)
A sweet goodbye—cheer up y’all! Signaling the end of the school year, the Philippine National Tree, Narra, usually blooms from February to May, covering the floor with its yellow blooms. And no need to go to Japan because we have our own native cherry blossom-look alike, providing us a rainfall of flowers and a golden carpet of blossoms...

(Broussonetia luzonica (Blanco) Bureau)
Some may say Himbabao, some may say Alokon, but one thing is for sure. Our PUP faculty and some of the university caretakers looove this vegetable, especially in pinakbet and bulanglang! And if you wanna go live a healthy life, Himbabao has a lot to offer, but it can be slimy and gooey though if you don’t mind... (click here to view more)
(Roystonea regia (Kunth) O. F. Cook)
We will never be ROYALS, but this tree just CANNOT RELATE!
It’s the royal palm, you guys! Standing proud around the campus’ vicinity, Roystonea regia is blessing our eyes with its beauty. Just serving some ROYAL REALNESS, THE CATEGORY IS HER MAMA! These trees surely made the Bonifacio Circle their runaway, ooohh... what a sight!.. (click here to view more)
(Cananga odorata (Lam.) Hook. f. Thomson)
ILANG-ILANG IS NOT A “LANG”. Feeling rich today? Get some spray of Chanel No. 5! Do you have a bad hair day? Feeling down? Want to boost some libido? Go and find some Ilang-Ilang!
Did you know that the beautiful low-hanging flowers of Ilang-ilang are also used as a love potion? All you have to do is to get that flower and cast a spell in Harry Potter’s style... EXPECTO PATRONUM!... (click here to view more)
Some Filipinos say slang words like “’pag bumangga, giba!” but here in our Sintang Paaralan some would say “’pag bumagsak, giba!”.
This actually pertains to the Eucalyptus trees that can be found inside the campus, and you might want to consider not to park near these trees because they are prone to break their branches during a strong downpour... (click here to view more)
(Podocarpus costalis C. Presl)
Chill along the coast with this Batanes native and feel the warmth of the coming holidays while decorating Arius as a Christmas tree... (click here to view more)
Malabago or Balibago? It literally translates to change! And who wouldn’t want that?... (click here to view more)
Ain’t vegan! Did you know that fig fruits are not vegan because of their unique way of pollination?... (click here to view more)
(Vitex parviflora A. Juss.)
Have you heard about the Mulawin?
Not the fantasy fiction drama series about the two races of winged humanoids, but hey focus here... I mean, the tree!
Mulawin is a Philippine native tree, and not a species of bird!... (click here to view more)
(Macaranga tanarius (L.) Mull. Arg)
THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE ♪♫. But not this tree. Binunga is one of the badass trees out there, I promise. If you ever had the opportunity to be a part of a tree-planting event, you may be familiar with Parasol leaf tree or Binunga.
But in PUP, we are familiar with its wide and umbrella-like leaf... (click here to view more)
“There’s a rainbow always after the rain… ♪♫”, a famous quote, and a lyric from a well-known South Border song. For many, the rainbow is a symbol of hope but it also reflects the diversity of the LGBT community as well as the spectrum of human sexuality and gender.
This tree reveals vibrant colors for the world to enjoy, but must go through an exfoliating process as if it has to go through a dark night of its soul... (click here to view more)
