Dear Friend,

"I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today a Savior has been born to you..."

Such marvelous and wondrous words resonate in our hearts during this season! As we Filipinos know, Christmas is celebrated here as soon as the "ber" months set in! We have all that time to reflect and be grateful for God's goodness of giving us Jesus, the best gift we can ever have!

God who is rich in everything, is poor in only one thing - He only has one son! How blessed are we that He has given His Son to us so that we can also be part of His holy family. Let's be a bringer of this good news to others this season and always!

We wish you all the magic and warmth of Christmas!

Yabang Pinoy
Want to help our country for only P50? Support the “Yabang Pinoy” Campaign! What's it all about?
“Yabang Pinoy” is a campaign to raise awareness and heighten Filipino people’s ethos, dignity and pride by advocating the use of a piece of braided abaca band that aims to make a statement. The abaca band aims to signify a Filipino being truly proud to be one. Yabang Pinoy recently won in Philippine Daily Inquirer's 2BU Click Awards. You can also check their site www.yabangpinoy.com for more details.

Greenpeace launches 10% by 2010 campaign!
Here are their findings on alternative energy sources:

Based on a study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory of the United States of America, the Philippine wind energy resource potential - 76,000-MW - can supply over 7x the current power demand of the country. Experts project that in a 10-year plan period, commercial viability can reach anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of the said potential.

Solar power is abundant in the country and is capable of producing 1500 hours of power annually at 5 kilowatt hours per square meter per day. Solar energy in the Philippines possesses one of the highest efficiency ratings in the world. In fact, energy from sunlight that falls on a land area half the size of Quezon City can provide the power needs of the entire country.
Greenpeace is not asking for the moon; Greenpeace is calling for 10% of our power to come from the sun, wind and modern biomass power by 2010. Click here to get more information and sign online.
