Where's Kuya Kim when you need him?!

[click image to marvel at (possibly for the last time) a slice of Kanlaon's beauty]

An enviro-wacko friend (who's not aware of this blog) asked me to help popularize the Mt. Kanlaon issue. [i suggested she approach Kuya Kim for a spot in Matanglawin (read as pronounced on television), she replied, "leche!" Milk?]

Apparently, while our eyes and ears were tuned in to the GSIS-Meralco-lagay-Supreme-Court fiasco, the Lopezes were backhanding Kanlaon. As of late, 1000 trees were felled.

Am not much of an enviromentalist (just mental), but my friend's description of Kanlaon's Majesty as comparable to "dyesebel's world" got me flash writing. Please take some minute off your time and read the update here.


If you have any suggestions please do comment on her post. [Just don't mention this blog.]

Evo's Should Have Grown A Beard

Here are Bolivian President, Evo Morales' ten commandments to save the planet, life and humanity.

Acabar con el sistema capitalista
Stopping the capitalist system

Renunciar a las guerras
Renouncing wars

Un mundo sin imperialismo ni colonialismo
A world without imperialism or colonialism

Derecho al agua
Right to water

Desarrollo de energías limpias
Development of clean energies

Respeto a la madre tierra
Respect for Mother Earth

Servicios básicos como derechos humanos
Basic services as human rights

Combatir las desigualdades
Fighting inequalities

Promover la diversidad de culturas y economías
Promoting diversity of cultures and economies

Vivir bien, no vivir mejor a costa del otro
Living well, not living better at the expense of others

Just like Albert Einstein said, "simple, but not simpler." Am thinking of migrating too Bolivia. How about you?

For details, click.

* Evo Morales is Bolivia's first fully indigenous head of state. Having denounced the neoliberal policies of his forerunner, Morales' managed to upgrade social spending.

Here, it’s just the social (and not the spending) that gets upgraded. Sigh.

For Rapurapu

The Center for Environmental Concern will be launching their latest compilation titled Rapurapu Atbp - Taghoy ng Kalikasan this coming June 4, Wednesday. All environmental songs, the CD features Aiza Segguera (yep, you've read it right), Lolit Carbon, Noel Cabangon, Cookie Chua (remembered Sadie from Across the Universe), Bayang Barrios and The Jerks. The event will be held at the 70's Bistro, Anonas Street, Q.C. 6:30 - 8:30 pm. Entrance is at 50 petotet. Or, better yet, get the compilation at a discounted price of 150 petotet and your entrance is free.

If you're a regular of 70s then you could also expect Lady High there. Still can't figure out where that voice comes from. Datu's Tribe would probably be there as well (think of Kiko Machine, only a little more "punkier" and mature).

For an appetizer, here's Rage from The Jerks

A Sunburn

is a friendly reminder from Mother Nature to "Stop fucking around, mother| father| brother| sister| relative fucker!"

Big Fish

True to Joey Ayala's song, everything is interconnected (ang lahat ng bagay ay magkaugnay). Even politics and the environment.

Sure, we got to start somewhere. However, the question remains - are we addressing the problem holistically?

Stop bullying the small fries. Go for the big fish.
