One EARTH - our EARTH


As Philippine writer Ida Anita Q. del Mundo confessed: "With the formation of Earth Day Networks, people around the world have recognized the importance of taking care of the Earth. Now on its 40th year, countries all over the world will be clebrating Earth Day on April 22!"

Earth Day is indeed an example of the power of one - as Bebet Gozun, chairman of Earth Day Network Philippines and 2007 Champion of the Earth awardee of the United Nations Environment Program voiced it out several days ago.

In 1990, Earth Day went global, with the Philippines becoming one of 144 countries that joined the celebration. Since then, the Philippine branch of Earth Day Network has established itself as an active supporter of the cause. I really love to publish this also here on my website. During the last two years the Philippines placed first in the world when it comes to Earth Hour participation. 

This is the way for people how to show they care!

And, how DO YOU care?

Step up Drive versus Human Smuggling

As one can read in several Philippine dailies: the Bureau of Immigration's capability to fight human smugglings at the airports will be further bolstered as six of its immigration officers at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport were tapped to undergo a special training program administered by the Interpol.

In a report to -in my opinion outstanding - Commissioner Marcelino Libanan, BI-Interpol unit chief Floro Balato Jr. said six members of the bureau's migration compliance and monitoring group  at the NAIA are taking part in the training program that started already April 12, 2010 in Camp Crame, Quezon City.

Dubbed as the Dismantling Smuggling Networks, the scheme aims to improve the knowledge and capability of immigration officers and other Philippine law enforces in combating and crippling the syndicates involved in human smuggling, human trafficking and other national crimes.

Libanan welcomed the Interpol project as a giant leap in the global campaign to stop people smuggling and illegal migration. Well said, Sir. I strongy agree with you!

Bureau of Immigration Operation Division Chief Ferdinand Sampol, whom I was able to meet before, also stressed, that this will bring to test the people on how deal with the smugglers and put them to an end.
