100 of these indigenous Philippine trees were planted on behalf of FEED Patrons of the Environment, Aspen Philippines Incorporated – endorsed by its President & CEO Marcelina  ‘Ace’ Itchon – honoring Mercury Drug Corporation Founder, the late Dr Mariano Lim Que (RIP).

The remaining 100 mala-santol were planted for the late Tito Tesoro (RIP), a great friend and advisor of FEED (late husband of FEED Patron Patis Tesoro); the late Gov Jose Antonio N. Carrion (RIP) of Marinduque (thanks to his loving sister Bing); FEED merchandise partners Mondo Project c/o Rej and Bogs Balangat, the co-founders and FEED Ambassadors; and birthday boy Jo Vincent T.
