San Teodoro, Oriental Mindoro

I am doing this blog as one of my requirement in Environmental Management Seminar. Honestly, this is the first time that I will prepare a blog. I find it very hard to choose a subject for my blog about environment. Finally, I decided to write about my hometown. I want to share to you the beauty of the town. Why? What is its relevance to environment? I just want to show to everyone that there is a need for us to protect beautiful places that still exist on planet Earth.
