After more than 20 years have passed, this is how the giant pink rabbit known as Hase (or Giant Pink Rabbit / Pink Bunny) looks today.
It is a massive artwork created by the Austrian art collective gelitin in 2005 as part of an open art project in nature in Italy.
The rabbit was made from waterproof, biodegradable pink velour fabric and stuffed with straw with the help of Italian craftswomen. Its hand-sewing took a full 5 years to complete.
It was then transported by helicopter and placed in its final location on the top of Colletto Fava hill near the village of Artesina in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, at an altitude of approximately 1,500 meters above sea level.
The rabbit measured about 60 meters in length and around 6 meters in height, making it clearly visible even in satellite images for a period of time. It was designed to look like a giant stuffed toy that had fallen from the sky and landed on the mountain.
The project was temporary by nature, planned to gradually decompose due to natural elements until 2025. Indeed, it deteriorated noticeably over the years (by 2016 its structure had significantly collapsed) and today, only barely visible traces remain of it.

If you think the people in our government cares about the environment, Gina Lopez was kicked out from being the DENR secretary by 16 over 8 votes against her.
Within 10 months in her post, she closed 23 mining operations, banned open-pit mining and shut down half of the country's mining companies.
Unfortunately, members of the congressional committee decided to remove her, as some of the 16 members who voted are connected on the mining industry, which explains why most of mining operations resumed after Gina Lopez got fired.
This is one of the most disgusting examples of our politicians prioritizing their personal interest over environmental welfare.
If only Maβam Gina Lopez were still here, ano kaya ang magiging situation ng environment natin ngayon? Baka mas marami pa sanang lugar ang naprotektahan, mas mahigpit ang laban para sa kalikasan, at mas may boses ang mga komunidad na naaapektuhan.
Happy 10th Year Anniversary to the 2016 arbitral award! π΅π
β Thank you PNoy for winning the WPS arbitral award. π
β No thanks to Duterte who said the arbitral award is a mere scrap of paper and losing Sandy Cay.
β Thank you PBBM for affirming the 2016 arbitral award.

MATH THESIS SA WIKANG FILIPINO π»
Naging susi sa pagsablay ni Andrei Clyde Arellano ang kaniyang undergraduate thesis sa kursong BS Mathematics sa UP Diliman na isinulat sa wikang Filipino.
Ipinagmalaki ito ng UP Diliman Institute of Mathematics bilang kauna-unahang bachelorβs thesis sa institusyon na isinulat sa lokal na wika.
βAng paghimay sa mga komplikadong teorya ng matematika gamit ang wikang Filipino ay isang malaking hakbang para sa intelektwalisasyon ng ating pambansang wika sa larangan ng STEM. Ipinakita ni Clyde na ang ating wika ay wika ng mataas na agham at malalim na karunungan,β anila.
Kababayans! Letβs also demand accountability sa mga corrupt people involved in the flood control scandal. Even those aligned with the BBM administration. Para magsama na mga reds and greens sa Bilibid and mabuo ulit ang UniTeam.
