"The mountain agoho (Casuarina rumphiana), which is known to
have a very limited distribution in the Philippines and Southeast Asia,
inhabits this protected area," reads part of the assessment report re BVNP of the team of Errol Gatumbato a noted environmentalist in the Philippines. By protected area, this refers to BVNP, Bulusan Volcano Natural Park located in the composite mountains of Bulusan Volcano (above and below photos).
Some of these trees found its way in the lower areas of Bulusan comprising the residential areas. I have seen one big agoho at the churchyard and several at the cottage grounds of Dancalan beach where this photo was taken. The dangling leaves that fringe the upper frame of the above photo are from an old agoho tree standing beside the open cottages in Dancalan beach. The electric wires along the road run across the photo from this vantage point.
