I attended the latest Salu-Salo para sa Pagbabago Series with Nick Perlas which highlights his Green Agenda and advocacy on Climate Change.  His basic solution was to really have a long-term plan which focuses on climate change adaptation and on-time rapid emergency preparedness and response so that the scenarios seen during Ondoy and Pepeng will not happen again.

A presentation I found in the internet says that planting trees will not actually solve Climate Change although it has some contribution to it. Take for example his assumption that in Ateneo, 14,000 students emit 3,500 tons of Carbon Dioxide per year or 250Kg per student. He then concluded that to compensate the emission each student should plan at least 31 tress per year or 250 hectares which is twice the size of their campus.

Well, fortunately it is just another movie and it will not happen unless of course there are some terrible event that might trigger it like the sun exploding or an asteroid hitting earth in 2012.

Survivor Philippines Palau final results was rigged and a cheat. That is my first impression when I finally learn that Amanda became the sole survivor for Survivor Philippines Season 2 over Justine Ferrer. I said in an article, "Justine Ferrer Wins Survivor Philippines," that based on the current situation she will win unanimously but it seems there are game changers that occurred which led to the final vote of 4-3 in favor of Amanda.

What are these game changers in Survivor Philippines Palau?
