Bogo! Wa nay Landong...

It was 1:30 in the hot after lunch when I arrived at Asia Town I.T. Park lahug. On my walk to work I normally walk on the park to save money and to have an exercise. As I was approaching 3 people 1 security guard, 2 person wearing a snow cap. The one was on the tree chopping the tree branches.

At that point the moment I was on there side I just said BOGO! WA NAY LANDONG!. to my consent to disappointed on what they were doing. They were chopping the tree branches of the trees. As the guard looked at me and the one on top stared at me. I continued to walk and leave them.

They did not understand the use of this trees. They were even using the tree as shelter from the extreme beam of the sun. And they were cutting the branches that causes the sidewalks to be shaded from the heat of the sun.

I'm am very much disappointed on this actions of them. Buildings are fast rising here while trees are misplaced and sooner might be out of placed. No one values the smooth cool air that the trees filter the moment it reaches your skin.

For some reasons I don't understand why people are like this. They could have at least cut the dead twigs and branches of the tree rather than cutting the whole brunch itself.

Al Gore's Asian Version of An Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore will be presenting in Manila, Philippines his great masterpiece that earned him lots of box-office acclaims entitled, "An Inconvenient Truth".

This convention will be entitled: "Al Gore: The Leader As Environment Steward." It will be held on April 30, 2010 at the SMX Convention Center in the SM Mall of Asia Complex.

"We have always been committed to environmental preservation. Beyond our many environmental programs, we feel that we can further spread the advocacy by having more people learn about this global problem and how it impacts each and every one of us. This is why we are bringing in the world's most influential authority on climate change. We want the urgency of his message to be heard by Filipino leaders, as well as by Filipinos in general," SM Prime Holdings President Hans Sy said in a statement.

Gore and his team was recently awarded the Noble Peace Prize in 2007 for the famous "An Inconvenient Truth." This made Gore a runner-up in the Time Magazine Person of the Year 2007.

Last year(2009), Gore won a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for his book "An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It."

An Inconvenient Truth

It was a Saturday morning, I decided to write something I was eager to write. I can’t keep my mind off of what I saw.

Last night, Friday evening, I’ve watched a documentary entitle “An Inconvenient Truth” by Al Gore. It was somehow shocking and at the same time keeps you wondering about how accurate the facts that he has shown in his documentary.

Al Gore was the running mate for Presidency in the US of Pres. George W. Bush. He was defeated in the last city they fought in, Florida. It was a close vote-race, Gore got 48% while Bush got 49% of the votes. That made Bush won the election. Al Gore was very known for his great seminars and slide shows and one of the many well known work of Gore was the documentary mentioned above.

The whole documentary talks about GLOBAL WARMING! When these two words come to our mind and senses, we tend to picture it out as the melting of the ice caps around the world, which is true! He said that if the whole Antarctica would melt, it would create a vast amount of water increase in the whole world, up until 20ft. from its current sea level, the same as with the entire Greenland, if it’s going to melt.

This alone alarms me!

Almost half of the entire Netherlands would be covered with water if this is going to happen and the twin towers where the 9/11 terror attack happened, which they now call Ground zero (0), would also be submerged under water. Thinking about this scene can really be so disturbing in some cases, but according to Gore, it’s the fact and we should be ready for it if we are not going to take actions now.

Billion of thousand refuges would be evacuating, and where do you think we can put them? What a nice question. The hurricane Katrina, caused a lot of trouble in the US, Global Warming is much more complicated to describe.

What about us? How about the Philippines?

Gore said that most countries near the equator wont be that affected due to the fact that the so called “Ocean Conveyor” or shall we say it simply, the “Oceans Current System”, or the movement of the water of the entire globe is greatly happening near the equator, thus, prevent those countries near the equator from too much damage than those who are far from it. I may be wrong about this, but this is how I understand it and I’m hoping I am though it would be very great if none of these are true.

It was a nice eye-opener when I watched the documentary. It made me aware of the great damage that we are doing to our mother nature. It made me realize about the things that we are taking for granted that was given by earth. It made me realize that I was AFRAID.

“Separating the truth from the fiction and the accurate connections from the misunderstandings is part of what you learned here.” – this was what Gore said we he gave a speech in presenting his documentary to a group of youth in Japan, and that’s exactly what I came to realize as I was watching the entire documentary. The facts were so believable that Gore even gathered data from the National Defense, as what he said.

“When the warnings are accurate, and based on sound science, then we as human beings, whatever country we live in, have to find ways to make sure that the warnings are heard and responded to.” - This was Al Gore’s answer when someone asked on what we can do in our current situation now.

Stopping pollutions is part of the response that Gore was talking about. I myself is a great contributor to this tragedy. No one is exempted.

It’s your call now on how you are going to respond to this situation and hope the very best it would be profitable for the entire human race.

God be with us.
