Education and environment awareness were the main focus. Since the event catered to elementary and high school students of San Agapito, the activities lined up for them were geared towards arts and crafts. The elementary students in Origami class under Teacher Klar learned how to make shark and turtle. Students in Drawing class under Teacher David made comic strips about the environment. The best comic strip made was entitled Ang Malungkot na Pugita. The High school students on the other hand had lectures on climate change, waste management. They identified environmental problems in their area like, dynamite fishing, mining, using fine nets to catch small fishes to display in aquariums, burning of trash. They made an action plan to solve their identified problems. One class made a poem of their action plan! Another one made a production number. Amazing. That was how bibo the students were.

We had a brief cleanup of the shore after the lectures. Each group had to segregate and tally the trash. After which, the trash bags were placed in the school's MRF- Materials Recovery Facility.

The outputs of each class were then showcased. The students were really creative and talented. Their intermission numbers were entertaining. The MBS applicants Batch Seaduction 2010 entertained us as well with their Bieber dance moves.

It was a fulfilling experience! Having been able to share our knowledge and love for the environment to them. We definitely learned as much from them too!

When someone decides you’re not the one for them, do not, I repeat, do not question yourself.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, love yourself enough to let them go.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, take your time to find yourself again, a self that isn’t confined within anyone’s definition of “the one,” a self that’s true, a self that’s happy.   Remember your life before them. Remember all the moments you felt so happy, so confident, so strong and it had nothing to do with them or being chosen by them at all. Everything mentioned in the article pierced my heart, and allowed me to come back into my senses...

October 31, 2017 12monkeys, El Pueblo It was a night of good music, food, drinks, and of course good company! Forever idol Ebe. Naalala mo pa ba sa Baler nakajamming ka namin sa Bays Inn? Ung pinipilit ka ng isang lokal na magtopless ka kasi nasa dagat daw! ! Anyways solid na tugtugan talaga ito. Sa uulitin sa dagat naman na ulit. Ok so tumugtog din si Gabby ng Urbandub at sobrang ok rin niya talaga. At gusto kong sabihing let us support local artists! Dahil ang daming talentong meron ang mga Pilipino.
