Blah Blah Blogs: FREEDOM!

First of all...

As we celebrate the 113th year of our independence, it also marks a lot of firsts and rebirths. First, this is the first Independence day of PNoy but the holiday falls on a weekend that many wished it was the past administration. Second, this is also the first time I went to Pampanga to witness a clean up drive to promote a river cruise in the near future. Next, it is also Pentecost in the Catholic Church which marks the start of the mission of the apostles with gifts given by the Holy Spirit. Then it is also a rebirth of the Hiedelburg fountain in Rizal Park where the hero used to drink back in Germany. The week also starts the school year to other schools and also some colleges and universities. The country has gone through a lot and 113 years is no joke as it was also mixed with tears, sighs, blood and sweat of Filipinos who fought for this freedom. Lucky for us, we never got into Forced Labor, Spanish prosecution and Martial Law. But we also have our problem that we also need to face at these times. So independence will also depend on its people on how to keep it.

Freedom is what we celebrate today and its our duty to take care of it.

MTL SAYS NO 2 MINING IN PALAWAN!

Manual to Lyf is always vocal in voicing concerns about our natural resources that for years are being exploited by companies who are only after the profit. And for what we have left we should keep them safe from exploiters. Palawan, known as the last frontier of the Philippines, holds a lot of natural flora and fauna that cannot be found anywhere in the country. And we also campaigned for the Puerto Princessa Underground River to be the 7 new natural wonders of the world. But at Brooke's Point, there is a threat to do open-mining in this area. Many of the original residents are worried and oppose this action of MarcoAsia, the big mining firm involved in the open mine project allegedly brought thirty “fake” indigenous people. These so-called tribal chieftains showed support on MacroAsia despite opposite views from the majority of indigenous people from Brooke’s Point.
