Three Hundred Seventy Boy Scouts joined about 70 other volunteers that included businessmen, generals, school teachers, and students in planting 550 trees across the walled city of Intramuros, a Philippine Heritage site, on January 10, 2009.

The Intramuros Tree Planting event is the latest in the series of tree planting projects undertaken by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) under its “Go Green! Go for the Real Thing!” project in partnership with Coca-Cola. All of the trees used in the event came from the “Go Green!

The Intramuros tree-planting is a joint undertaking between the Rotary Club of Makati West, the Intramuros Administration, and Lifestyle Asia Magazine. Delbros Incorporated (DELBROS) and Delbros Waterfront Leasing Co., Inc. (DELWATER) also donated trees and sent volunteers for this event.

The main proponents of the Intramuros Tree Planting Event were: Mayor Alfredo Lim, City Mayor of Manila; Bobby Lim, President of The Rotary Club of Makati West; Anna Sobrepena, Editor in Chief of Lifestyle Asia Magazine; Bambi Harper, Director of The Intramuros Administration; Jose Paolo Delgado, Boy Scouts of The Philippines and DELBROS; Paolo Conconi, Project Oikos.
