Now is the time to save gas!

Why now is the right time to save gas ( A redistributed message to help the campaign against global warming)

One very good reason: Gas is a limited resource.

"You will learn in this article how to save gas." -Me

I remember way back in elementary when my Dad would gas up and a full tank of a regular 1.5 sedan only cost Php 250 more or less. And that sustained a week of driving (house-school-office-school-house). Those were the good old days.

Honda Cars Philippines in partnership with Petron and the Department of Energy challenged motoring journalists and some of the greatest drivers of the country to a race on saving gas through the 2008 Honda Challenge Cup – Media Edition. This was a race not of speed, but of best mileage on a liter of gasoline. The ultimate goal was to save on gas.

The groups were briefed by Honda Cars on the rules and regulation of the race and discussed the many tips on how to save gas.

The Race

On April 25, 2008, Friday, 10 a.m., the groups reported to UCC Cafe for more briefing and to get their race kits containing the map/direction of the race.

There were 2 legs in the competition: The city driving leg – from Petron C5 to Makati to Petron NLEX; and the Highway driving – from Petron NLEX to Petron Clark, Pampanga.

Spratly's war

Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago said that the Philippines should tighten its security in islands being claimed by the country in the disputed Spratly group of islands in the South China Sea.

Santiago issued the statement that echoed the reaction made by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) over Taiwanese president Chen Shui-bian visit to an island being claimed by Taiwan.

“Hindi maganda iyon dahil nagtatawag pansin s’ya...dito sa away ng mga bansa tungkol sa Spratly island. Ano kaya ang pakiramdaman naman nila kung ipadala naman natin 'yung presidente natin doon at magtuturo s'ya doon sa Spratly," said the Senate's foreign relations committee chief.

(It’s not good because he’s calling more attention to the dispute of several countries over Spratly island. How would Taiwan feel if we send our president to the island?)

Aside from heightened security, Santiago said it is about time that a law be passed to include the Spratlys inside the Philippine archipelagic lines.

"Ang Spratly at Kalayaan Islands ay napakalapit ‘yan sa ating archipelagic beltlines kaya napakatibay din ang ating kausa na sabihin na tayong may-ari n’yan at ang langis sa ilalim n’yan," she said.

(The Spratly and Kalayaan islands are located nearest to our archipelagic beltlines. That is why we have a strong cause to say that we own the island and the oil beneath them.)

We need?

Last 2 weeks, i watched the movie "inconvenient Truth". I am not endorsing senatoriables here or other officials running in this May elections, but we really need someone who can do something about global warming. If you havent watched Inconvenient truth, watch it. If you do, like me, you would already know that its already happening. it is not a joke. it is happening.

A few days ago, there was some tornadoes that killed people in different states in the US. might be common there but, if you watched inconvenient truth, they set a world record of the consecutive tornadoes. global warming effects includes, high floods, tsunamis (like in phuket) and etc.

Evidence in the Philippines? there are few or almost none in the Philippines. last year, one struck somewhere in the south. i think its a golf club. this morning, one struck again in Sarangani.

It might be too late but there is still chance. improvements should begin from us, not from the governemnt.
