"I find Olongapo, a boring city.
For a city that prides itself on tourism, you see garbage and human waste dumped into the rivers and Ocean... the same Rivers and Ocean that they fish out of and expect the tourist to go swim and scuba diving in..."
To be brutally frank about it... the above statement is TRUE.
And we are not doing anything substantial about it. Panay palabas at propaganda lang, walang tunay na nagkakaisang pagkilos.
Everyone should be involved, it will take a lot of hardwork, money and political will to accomplish this.... but we can not continue to look the other way... if we love our children and grandchildren and care for the future... WE MUST ACT NOW!!!
I hope that when the PHP90M dredging/vactor equipments arrive next month, that it be the symbol of our unified action to start a concerted effort to stop and eventually reverse the deterioration of our waterways.

The Subic Bay Waterways Council should be immediately convened and plan of action and strategies to save our rivers and Subic Bay be in place.
The next election should focus its efforts on stopping the trash from reaching our waterways... and put an end to the usual trash political gimmickry.
I totally agree with what you said Sir Ed. Our local government and NGO's should work together in order to help our City's major problem [i.e. basura, employment, out of school youth projects. and to have information/knowledge on whats really happening in our hometown and what our local politician is doing about it.

I agree.. Dapat mag simula sa taas pababa ang pag babago. Mag sisimula sa mamayan ng olongapoi mag mula sa namumuno at matatanda para tuluran at maisagawa ang nararapat para sa ating lunsod. Ang isang magulang na pabaya sa kaniyang sarili na may masamang gawain at ang kanilang sarili ay di maayos ay mahihirapan mag disiplina ng kanyang anak..

Save the Trees in SUBIC BAY: SOS from the Philippines
This group is scheduled to be archived... so for posterity, i'm copying it here
An Inquirer report said it best "...another case of a foreigner trying to trample on our laws and our government allows them to do it"
Should the government allow these foreigners to cut down 360 trees(60-100 yrs old) in Subic to pave the way for a Casino - this is literally GAMBLING with the local and global ENVIRONMENT!
Let's show them that the world has eyes, and that there are people and organizations that will NOT ALLOW environmental degradation ANYWHERE on this planet.
Please post your SUBIC PHOTOS here to remind everyone of what can be lost. Don't forget to tag your friends!
Cheers!

YNEA Symposium on Climate Change and Global Warming
With the theme “Youth Acting Together to SAVE the Environment,” Olongapo’s Sangguniang Kabataan Federation and the Boy Scouts of the Philippines-Olongapo will jointly launch the re-organization of the Youth Network of Environmental Advocates (YNEA) in the city in a symposium set on Sunday, August 8, 2010 at Saint Joseph School’s Social Hall.
YNEA is an emerging youth organization basically focused on promoting environmental consciousness and youth involvement in mitigating the ill effects of climate change and global warming in support of the government’s environmental programs.
The objective is to organize one YNEA chapter in every Barangay, in every school and every College campus in Olongapo and the Subic Bay Freeport (SBF).
With the City’s advocacy to combat climate change and global warming, Mayor James “Bong” Gordon Jr. is encouraging the youth of the city’s 17 barangays to participate in this environmental endeavor.
YNEA aims to build a network of responsible young leaders who will VOICE-OUT the concerns of the YOUTH in general. The main objective is to educate the youth about their responsibility to protect the environment, build a strong foundation of young concerned citizens and eventually inspire and push the older populace to act on important environmental concerns
