The Resource Recovery Movement is holding the 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environment Summit - HMES or the Eco Summit 2010 in Manila on April 8-16, 2010.

As its culminating event, the VIDESYS GROUP, that is participating in the HMES 2010, is holding a Music Festival entitled One Festival Manila Live 2010 intended to raise funds for the victims of man-made and natural calamities.

The beneficiaries are the victims and families of casualties of Philippine Typhoons (Ondoy and Pepeng and others), displaced persons or IDPs in a number of conflicts and hostilities in various areas of the Philippines, victims of tsunami in the ASEAN-Pacific Regions.

A nominal part of the proceeds will also be used to kick off the launching of a Private Sector Led database development project that will result in the creation of a full-function integrated geographic information system (GIS) to include the ASEAN Flood GIS, Forest GIS, Water GIS, Volcanoes GIS, Earthquake GIS, Typhoon GIS, Political conflicts and hostilities GIS.

We ran across our friend's article on the lessons learned from Typhoon Ondoy. Read the excerpts we culled from the post below:

Many of us use a lot of paper and wood products and like my friend’s country, we also cut a lot of trees.  But many of those that do the cutting, don’t necessarily consider just how much paper and wood we need. They just cut and cut and sell and sell, never mind if they violate or environmental laws.

And so the need for resource recovery.  The concept is just simple, anyway.  Create savings in our resources, meaning use the limited resources of our environment wisely, albeit not sparingly, but wisely.  Save the lot that can be saved. And avoid usage that could be harmful to others or to the environment itself... When you save, you have something for the rainy day... That’s added income, added profit... When you care, you are more careful... Then less harm, less hazard to the surroundings.

When you do something wisely, you do it efficiently and effectively... That’s increased productivity.  Now increased productivity, translates to more income, more profit for less effort and lower levels of waste. Read more about this post here...

Without music, i will die
Perchance a slow death
But die nonetheless
There is no hope, there is nothing

For me in this world
If you take away music,
My music, it is all i've got
Nothing else, fills my soul.

The Beijing Olympics 2008 is coming soon. Only last April 2008, the " target="_self">Philippine Daily Inquirer came up with a news item about syndicates in the Palarong Pambansa saying that DepEd Secretary Jesli A. Lapus is already doing something about it daw. I don't believe a word of that article. As if!

Looks like inquirer received payola for that, as in radio stations taking money from record stores and studios just to play the store's newest music that was sent out in the market.  Well, the syndicates in DepEd have been there, kumbaga, tinubuan na ng malalaking ugat ang mga hinayupak na iyan diyan.

My bro was a good athlete but in the 2005 Palaro in Pangasinan he was sidelined by the palaro judges kasi ang balita, may nagbayad na mas malaking skul just so their athletes will win kahit inde magaling!  Hayuuuuuup  maaaan!!!

Gets niyo to?!#%$%^%^

Sana tamaan ng kidlat apat na raang na beses ang mga members ng sindikato diyan sa hinayukap na DepEd na yan, at kung hindi sila masisindak ni Lapus at bagkus sila pa ang makakakaya sa mama na yan, aba di tamaan na din ng kidlat si Lapus na yaaaan!!!!  Mga ogags kayoooo!!!  Sindikato!!!!  Mukampera!!!!  Uloooool!!!! Magsilayas na kayo sa DepEd mga Demonyooooo at Animaaaaal kayo lahaaaat!!!  SHET!!!
