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

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


Thanks
