Oldest in the Philippines




University of Santo Tomas    Oldest University



___________________________________



 

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

SEATTLE - A unique campaign is gaining a lot of
 momentum in England in
the wake of last week's deadly
 bombings. The effort involves how your
cell phone could
 actually help you.

  
Since the tragedy a week ago today, cell phone users in
 England are
being urged to program in a new number, and
 label that number with the
letters I-C-E, "In case of
 emergency."

  
If you become unconscious, rescuers could scroll
 through your phone,
and know exactly who to call,
 gleaning information that could
potentially save
your
 life.
