Hi Vincent,

For more information about green roofs I would recommend starting with the websites www.greenroofs.org and www.greenroofs.com. Perhaps your local library has some green roof books as well. From what I understand green roofs in the Philippines are gaining in popularity, unfortunately I have read only one article about it in the last year:

http://business.inquirer.net/2649/the-difficult-beginnings-of-green-roofs-walls-in-ph

Hopefully you can track down the folks in the article and other people close to you in the Philippines and ask them some questions.

Good luck!
