If you enter the University of the Philippines, Los Banos via its main gate by foot, you just have to go straight and you'll pass by the Royal Palm Avenue. This is the road between Hum Building and Phy Sci with lots of Royal Palm Trees.

During my freshman year at the university, jeepneys still pass The Royal Palm Avenue route and the view inside the jeepney is a sight to behold. Imagine a series of royal trees standing tall to welcome you as you enter deep into the university. Bring back the Royal Palm Avenue - Main Library - Phy Sci - Bio Sci Route!!! You'll get a chance to pass through columns of Royal Palm Trees as you go straight into UPLB's main library or Phy Sci. And the view is really awesome you'll fall in love at once! Now, that's what I call "Royal Treatment". 

So, what's special about these Royal Palm Trees? Well, they're just one of the twelve celebrity trees that UPLB recognized during its Centennial Anniversary. This trees are part of the what the university calls "Heritage Trees" which withstood the test of time and survived typhoons after typhoons. According to the committee, these trees are already 100 years of age!
