One of my fave parts of the concert!!

[The King @arthurXadvocate]

The so-called “white sand” of Manila Bay didn’t come from magic— it came from Cebu’s mountains and the black mud of its destruction.

Specifically, from Alcoy, Cebu, where mining companies have been grinding and shipping dolomite for years, cutting into fragile coastal and upland ecosystems.

When the government ordered the 2020 “Manila Bay beautification” project, Cebu paid the price.
The extraction disturbed coastal cliffs and mangrove belts, worsened erosion, and released sediments that disrupted marine life, the same natural barriers that could have slowed down storm surges and protected lowland areas.

Back then, Environmental groups in Cebu had warned:

“Every grain of dolomite ‘sand’ you pour in Manila Bay is a wound cut from Cebu’s heart.”

Now, a few years later, Typhoon Tino exposed the cost of that greed— weaker coastal defenses, more landslides, more floods. The legacy stinks!

ARCHITECT’S OPINION ON MONTERRAZAS

📝 Journalist: “When you make a development like that on a slope, is there a way to address where all that water will go?”

✅ Architect Paolo Alcazaren:

“They will assume that all the water that falls on what used to be green slope will now be gathered and be channeled into the main drainage system. There are a lot of assumptions… all of these assumptions are wrong... It’s better to hold the water as much as possible on the slope…

Although there is a law that requires supposedly everyone to contain their rainwater, it’s never followed. [But] in Naga, Mayor Leni [Robredo] is enforcing that and is retrofitting government buildings to have cisterns.

I find the green building… it’s problematic depending on which green building format you use. And often, because it’s localized within the boundaries of your site does not take the context of the larger area into consideration.”

📝 Ces Drilon: “Pwede yung building green pero sinira niya yung paligid?” ⚠️

✅ Paulo Alcazaren: “Yung konteksto is different. The building can be very green but it sheds the water to everybody else. They may not have been at fault because they made assumptions.”

Green building pa more! 💥

Walang makakatalo sa TREES! 👊

LIBRENG KOLEHIYO SA STATE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES, MAPOPONDOHAN NA!

1AM na natapos ang budget deliberations ngayong gabi, pero sulit ang puyat para sa edukasyon!

Inanunsyo ng House Appropriations Committee na maglalaan ng ₱12.3B para sa full implementation ng Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act. Ang ₱7.8B nito ay ilalabas ng CHED, habang pupunan ng Kongreso ang kulang.

May dagdag ₱9.3B rin para sa Tulong Dunong Program at Tertiary Education Subsidy, na tinanong natin sa CHED kanina.

Magandang gabi sa inyong lahat, lalong lalo na mga cheldren!

just realized, it's my 11th yr as a working adult. skL sbi ng senior ko sa 1st job ko:

<Wag mo galingan 24/7. Maging magaling ka sa work pero wag mo araw2x galingan. Satin lang yun. Pakita mo sa boss natin na bobo karin. Kasi pag nalaman nila na magaling ka. Aabusuhin nila yan.
