Great Pinoy Peace & Unity Swim

Labels:

Do you want to be part of a Guinness World Record and make your mother country proud? Then sign up for the Great Pinoy Peace & Unity Swim in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record in swim relay. The current record holder is held by Swim for Children of Italy which completed the swim relay with 5,028 participants in June this year. Join the water breaking event (pun intended) this December 10-11, 2010 at the newly constructed Diliman Prep School Swimming Complex in Quezon City. This will be a 24 hour swim relay event that plans to target 6,000 participants who needs to complete a length of 60ft or 18.3 meters each, swimming one after another. Everyone is welcomed to be part of this event may you be an amateur or professional swimmer of all ages. The youngest swimmer currently registered registered is a 3 year old but younger toddlers are encouraged to join! Each participant is required to shell out P100 donation to cover for the expenses but you could expect food and drinks from the numerous sponsors who partnered with the event.




As of writing this post, there have been written and verbal commitments from more than 6,000 participants from various organizations mostly from among athletic associations, schools, the military and the police, foundations for street children, and the college of physicians. The Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) has requested that a two-hour slot be allocated for the contingent of the PSC and the various National Sports Associations (NSAs) which they expect to be 500 - 1000 swimmer participants form among the 49 member national sports associations.

The attempt to break the world swimming relay record will start at exactly 4PM of December 10 and will continue non-stop until 4PM of December 11, 2010. There will be a short opening program at 3PM to kick off the start of the event.

Good news for those commuting their way to the event. Victory Liner has agreed to provide FREE shuttle service for all participants. A total of ten buses will be fielded by Victory Liner to bring passengers to and from Diliman Prep School at Commonwealth Avenue. Pick-up and drop off points will only be at Diliman Preparatory School to and from the Victory Terminals in Kalookan City, Pasay City, Earnshaw St. in Manila, and EDSA/East Avenue. A fifth terminal will be arranged in Marikina to service the residents and participants from Eastern Rizal.

This event is a joint partnership between Diliman Foundation Inc. and the Susan Papa Swim Academy in an effort to raise awareness about swimming as a wholesome natural participative sport for all Filipinos. Their objectives are as follows:
  • Encourage all Filipinos to learn to swim for their own health, leisure, safety and protection, thus minimizing the risks they take during sea travel and floods
  • Enliven and boost the country’s swimming community to exert all means to train and field many more of our swimmers to win the swimming medals in local and international competitions
  • Inspire many more schools and institutions to set aside resources to build, maintain and upgrade swimming facilities and share talents and expertise in creating swimming programs to as many people as possible
Be part of this historic event. Register online, or call Marketing and Business Development Office of Diliman Foundation Inc. at 9510382 and 9310731. The P100 donation can be made via PAYPAL, direct bank deposit, or at the cashier of Diliman Foundation.

Million Hectare Blog Contest

Labels:

Haribon Foundation, ClubTravelNow and Pinoy Holistic Healthcare asks bloggers one question - Why do we need to restore 1M hectares of our forests? If you have an answer to this simple question, you have a shot at winning a 3D/2N Lake Sebu Backpacking Tour (Adventure and Cultural Exploration) worth Php7,000, ClubTravelNOW GCs, Confetti Spa GCs and Haribon gift packs in this blog contest. Not only do you help spread the word on saving the forest and make people aware of the issue but you also get to win prizes along the way.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pLUSUQOF42s/TOO2n5cOaEI/AAAAAAAAADs/T_nWntWdoRg/s320/haribon-foundation-million-hectare-challenge-banner.png


Personally, I want to help restore 1M hectares of our forest for 3 main reasons. I'm sick and tired of breathing polluted air right here where I live. Planting more trees would absorb our unstoppable carbon emissions from our everyday transportation to our source of electricity. Of course the rate at which we plant trees can't catch up with our carbon footprint but because of advancement in technology, particularly green technology, I'm inclined to believe that someday our carbon emissions would dramatically decrease and the trees we plant today would serve as the filter for the carbon we have expelled today.

http://www.goldsboro.scps.k12.fl.us/istf/PollutionSollutionFinal_files/image025.jpg

The second reason is that planting more trees can absorb water and hold soil in place therefore minimizing flood and erosion, the two usual problem we face every time we encounter heavy rain. Just look at how typhoons passed this year and how many times it resulted to flood and/or erosion. Almost every time!

Last of all, animals use trees as shelter. Every time we take away their habitat, we drastically minimize the chance of their survival in the wild. All living animals need some sort of shelter - even us. Try taking away your home and live outdoors and see how it feels.

Nokia C6 60% off for 1 Day

Labels:

What a ballsy move by Nokia! After LG announced that they were selling the LG Optimus One for 50% off for 1 day, Nokia announces that they will also be having a 1-day sale on the Nokia C6 on the same exact date and time as the LG would offer it. The only difference is that Nokia will be offering the Nokia C6 for 60% off, 10% higher than what LG is offering. This brings down the price to P6,490 from the original retail price of P15,100. The 1-day sale will happen on November 13, 2010 1PM - 3PM at participating Nokia stores in SM Megamall, SM North EDSA, SM Cebu and Gaisano Davo City. Now I'm confused as to whether to get the LC or Nokia. Which do you think is better?
