Today at exactly 10:11 pm, checking my mail (as usual), I've come across this letter from our high school yahoogroups courtesy of our class' very own Gloria Arroyo (hi dearie!):

Dear Guys,

Did you know that the Philippines’ coconut geotextile ( a.k.a. coconet) for soil erosion control has been chosen as one of the 12 finalists in Newsweek and BBC’s (British Broadcasting Corporation) World’s World Challenge?

The World Challenge is basically a competition/search designed at identifying groups or individuals all over the world whose projects have contributed great impact at grass roots level.

A documentary about Philippine Coconut geotextile or coconet industry will be shown on the BBC World cable channel on September 24 around 8:30 GMT and will also be featured in the August 29 special issue of Newsweek.

“The World Challenge” already offers a tremendous exposure and publicity to our flourishing Philippine coconut geotextile industry and to our Philippine coconut fiber exporters. But it would be great liberation for our country, which has been getting very bad publicity nowadays, to win this prestigious competition.

To vote, please open www.theworldchallenge.co.uk and click the picture of Philippine coconet.

Please help us campaign for more voters by forwarding this message to your co-worker, friends and relatives.

Thanks

So what is Coconet all about you might ask? Well basically all I got from the BBC-Newsweek's website is that it does prevent landslides in the Philippines using waste coconut husks. Pretty impressive huh? I suggest you take your time to read more about it and vote! It won't take SO much of your time, I promise! ;) After all, it's good to be proud of being a Filipino, don't you think?

P.S. Speaking of being a Filipino, have you heard of the latest from Apol D of BEP (Black Eyed Peas), that song called Bebot? It's nice... download it from Limewire!
