Ayon kay DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu, sa kasagsagan ng Earth hour, sabayang papatayin ang mga ilaw at mga kagamitan na pinapagana ng kuryente. Dagdag pa ni Cimatu, ito’y bilang pakikiisa ng bansa sa pagtulong sa ating kalikasan. Mababatid na nagsimula ang Earth hour sa Australia noong 2007 at matapos ang isang taon kumalat na sa iba’t-ibang bansa ang tradisyong ito na pagpatay ng mga ilaw sa loob ng isang oras.

Cimatu is once again calling on all Filipinos to participate in the global Earth Hour movement on Saturday, March 27, in support of the agency's efforts to mitigate the increasing effects of climate change. The worldwide event will be observed in the Philippines from 8:30-9:30 p.m. "I enjoin all households and businesses across the country to jointly switch off their lights and other energy-consuming devices for an hour, and to encourage action towards the environment even after the lights are turned back on," Cimatu said. Computers, television sets, air conditioning units and non-essential lights may be switched off to express a shared concern for the environment. "Now more than ever, environmental responsibility is critical and must be sustained. Let us do our share and switch off for an hour in support of a healthy future for humankind and the environment," Cimatu said. However, the DENR chief emphasized that beyond this symbolic action, Filipinos should reduce electrical consumption to lessen carbon footprint and emissions generated by carbon dioxide and fossil fuel, which are major causes of climate change. Cimatu also proposed shifting to renewable sources of energy such as solar technology and use of light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs, which draw less power compared to incandescent and fluorescent lights. Supporting worthy causes like the Earth Hour movement has become more significant than ever, Cimatu said as he noted the importance of nature conservation in combatting climate change, biodiversity loss, and even health risks. "As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage, let us recognize the inevitable truth that the state of our planet and our health and well-being are inherently related. We should persist against harmful human activities and shift towards environment-friendly lifestyle choices," he added. He said that while the DENR addresses deforestation, plastic pollution, and illegal wildlife trade through its policies and programs, Filipinos are also encouraged to do their share. "Educate yourselves, spread awareness, support government campaigns, and rethink ways how to eat, buy and travel. Let us take climate actions especially now that we are in the midst of a health crisis. When we protect our climate, we protect our health," Cimatu appealed. Earth Hour is an annual global environmental movement organized by the World Wildlife Fund to encourage individuals and organizations in taking tangible actions and commitments for the planet by jointly turning off non-essential lights for an hour.

    Campos / Ghostly Allegories 611 GHOSTLY ALLEGORIES: HAUNTING AS CONSTITUTION OF PHILIPPINE (TRANS) NATIONAL (CINEMA) HISTORY Patrick Campos University of the Philippines Film Institute [email protected] Abstract By reading through the con–texts of Yam Laranas’s The Echo (2008) and Kelvin Tong’s The Maid (2005), the essay considers three Filipino genres that ironically gathered momentum at the time of the Philippine film industry’s crisis and decline in the 1990s up to the 2000s – the historical drama, the OFW (overseas Filipino worker) film, and horror. In the process, the essay constitutes an alternative map of Philippine cinema premised on inter-national transactions across states and film industries, on the one hand, and on the nodal and spectral bodies of Filipinas that network these states and industries, on the other hand. Dwelling on multiform hauntings, it ultimately focuses on how nations/cinemas – through (de)localized genres – are constituted and called into account by specters of (cinema) histories. Keywords Philippine cinema, Singapore cinema, transnational cinema, Asian horror, OFW film About the Author Patrick Campos is Assistant Professor at the University of the Philippines Film Institute. He is currently Director of the Office of Extension and External Relations of the College of Mass Communication, University of the Philippines, Diliman, where he previously served as College Secretary.

  • Organ Donation Is Their Lack of Knowledge on the Subject and Also That Information About It Is Hard to Find
    In the Philippines, being an organ donor is atypical, and for a country fraught with false notions and superstitions, launching organ donor awareness is easier said than done. Perhaps another contributing factor to Filipino¶s apathy on organ donation is their lack of knowledge on the subject and also that information about it is hard to find. One of the main reasons research show is that Filipino¶s don¶t know exactly about what they need to do in order to become one. Perhaps the word µregistration¶ to an average Filipino is equivalent to long queue¶s, pages and pages of forms to fill out answering questions they don¶t understand, in short, a waste of time. What they don͛t know is that the most important way of ͚registering͛ to become an organ donor is to talk about it with ones friends and family. In that small way, an individual would already have registered his or her wishes to people whom he knows will carry out what he wants if and when the individual will pass away. It is most advisable as well that a person who has decided to donate his organs when he dies, is to discuss this decision with the person who will have the final say. For example if you were single and you have decided to donate your organs when the time comes, you would communicate your decision to your parents. Or, if you were a husband who has come to such a decision as well, you would tell your wife Yes, there are forms to fill out and an organ donor card that can be issued to a person once a decision like this has been made but as was stated earlier, a persons¶ talking this kind of choice over with family and friends already ensures that his or her wishes be carried.
