Let’s support Earth Hour 2010!

As of writing, it’s barely an hour before the start of Earth Hour. Earth Hour 2010 will happen tonight, 27th of March, at 8:30 local time, all around the world. This is a global event held annually on the last Saturday of March, asking households and businesses to switch off their unnecessary lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

Filipinos from 1,041 cities and towns will join the world in supporting Earth Hour which was organized by environmental group World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). I’m strongly encouraging everyone to participate and help raise awareness in the increasing need to address the effects of climate change.

However, Earth Hour shouldn’t last for only an hour. It should signify the start of a lasting lifestyle change to mitigate the ecological impacts and to do our share in keeping a sustainable planet. When we turn on the lights again, let’s make a personal pledge to be more environment- friendly.

So let’s make a difference! Let’s remember that our future depends on everyone getting involved and spreading the message that we are committed to the future! This planet is the only one we’ve got.

It’s Showtime, Philippines! Let’s show the world what can be done!

Here's the official video of Earth Hour:

Six RP entries are finalists in the 53rd New York Festivals TV & Film Awards

Three shows and two promotional works from top TV stations ABS-CBN and GMA-7 plus a documentary film from Unitel Productions' Unico Entertainment made it to the finals of the 53rd New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards.

GMA network has three finalists which include "News on Q" from QTV-11 (a subsidiary channel of GMA) for Best News Analysis/Commentary, "Case Unclosed" for Docudrama and "Planet Philippines" for Environment and Ecology.

"News on Q" is an evening newscast hosted by Ivan Mayrina and Rhea Santos, with economist and professor Winnie Monsod sitting as analysis expert.

"Case Unclosed," which is hosted by Arnold Clavio tackles some of the country's most sensitive and controversial cases.

"Planet Philippines" is said to be a localized version of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth." The environmental documentary was hosted by Richard Gutierrez.

On the other hand, ABS-CBN Network has two entries: one for the "Music Video: Low Budget" category ("Boto Mo, iPatrol Mo: Ako Ang Simula") and another for "News Promotion" ("Pagpag").

"Boto Mo, iPatrol Mo" is an ABS-CBN campaign to promote election vigilance and awareness among the youth. Its jingle was sung by various OPM artists such as Aia de Leon of Imago, Ebe Dancel of Sugarfree, and Raymund Marasigan of Sandwich.

Meanwhile, "Pagpag (Leftovers)" is an episode of "The Correspondents" by Dominic Almerol.

"The Last Journey of Ninoy," produced by Unico Entertainment and directed by Jun Reyes, made it in the "Documentary" category. It chronicles using a combination of actual footage, dramatized flashbacks, and interviews the last 48 hours of the late Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr.

The six finalists will be competing with finalists from countries such as the USA, England, Germany, Singapore, and Canada.

Green Technology

Many countries around the world will participate in this year’s Earth Hour tomorrow, March 27. This is a global event held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their unnecessary lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. I am fully supporting this worthy cause and I’m strongly encouraging everyone to participate and help raise awareness in the increasing need to address the effects of climate change.

However, I do hope that this advocacy is not only good for one hour. We should look for ways on how we can conserve energy and save our planet. We should look for other sources of alternative energy which will not contribute to global warming. Perhaps, more research should be focused on opportunity fuels and other sources of renewable energy as these can provide cheap and reliable alternative to fossil fuels. It is a good thing that clean coal technologies were developed to help mitigate the effects of climate change. This is a good start.

I do hope that more efforts will focus on converting waste to energy more efficiently. It will be good if organic wastes or waste streams can be utilized or recycled to produce valuable products. It will be a big relief to government and municipalities if there’s a more efficient technology that will address their bio solids and waste products.

This is the technology that N-Viro International Corporation has successfully developed and patented. Their processes employ lime and/or mineral-rich, combustion by-products to treat, pasteurize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products. What’s good about their technologies is it safely and efficiently transform waste streams into beneficial reuse products.

If you want to know more about their technologies and facilities, visit their website at http://www.nviro.com for more information.

Brillante Mendoza’s "Lola" won in the Miami International FilmFest

Filipino director Brillante “Dante” Mendoza’s winning streak is not yet over. After winning the Best Driector at last year's Cannes Film Festival in France for his film "Kinatay", her latest film “Lola” won the Grand Knight Award which is equivalent to the Grand Jury Prize in the world competition category of the 27th Miami International Film Festival in the US held from March 5 to March 14, according to the event's official website.

The Filipino film bested eleven other entries from filmmakers in the World Competition, the category that celebrates the works of up-and-coming moviemakers from around the world.

Mendoza took home the prize of US$25,000 from the Miami-based John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.

The movie “Lola” or “Grandmother” is about two elderly women who bear the consequences of a robbery-homicide incident involving their respective grandsons–one is the victim, the other is the suspect.

Top-billed by Anita Linda and Rustica Carpio, “Lola” also won the Second Best Picture at the Venice Film Festival last year and the Best Film award in Dubai.
