I’d like to take a little rest from the work, but it’s all so exciting and so satisfying. I hope that everyone of you out there feel the same, too. There’s a lot of difference when you really, really love what you’re doing that it doesn’t really matter if it’s wringing every bit of energy from your body.
Two mind-wracking events in 2010 occupy my time right now:
One is the 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environment Summit in Manila, on Apr 8-15, 2010
The other is my brain child, the One Festival, Rock Concert for the benefit of the victims of Philippine typhoon, earthquakes and tsunami in the ASEAN Region in Rizal Park Grandstand, April 16, 2010.
We encourage the Philippine Government, Asian Governments, combines like the United Nations, ASEAN, financial institutions like the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, to support this milestone activity the 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environmental Summit in Manila from the remainder of 2009 up to 2010. The actual even is as mentioned above.
We encourage everyone to support the One Festival, to raise token assistance for those that were victims to the Philippine floods, the tsunami and earthquakes that rocked many nations in ASEAN.
ANNUAL ECOLOGY CRISIS CONFERENCE
The Resource Recovery Movement will hold the first 2010 Hazards Mapping and Environment Summit (Eco 2010 Summit) in Manila, Philippines. This is ultimately borne about by the tremendous changing of the Philippine landscape and those of other countries in the Pacific Rim in the last few decades. All efforts towards risk mapping in relation to calamities and disasters in the past should now take into consideration the great shifts and transformations in land mass, the enormous amount of rainfall brought about by Climate Change and many new factors that were heretofore not factored into national and sub-national planning by governments as well as even by business establishments and non-government organizations.

The 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environmental Summit (HMES) is intended to develop better approaches to mapping risks and dangers to communities in the Philippines and other countries with tropical climates. It takes a cue from the recent experience in China, Indonesia and the Philippines, notwithstanding the previous experiences in Thailand, Bangladesh, Pakistan where scores of people died due to unforeseen occurrences during the incidence of a natural disaster: earthquake, typhoon, tsunami and other calamities. The databasing, mapping and full coordination of efforts towards use and sharing of a full function GIS on hazards, volcanoes, water, flood, forests in the Philippines and Asia, vulnerability areas, liquefaction potential, crisis and hot spots is long due because of the long-running phenomenon of Climate Change in the planet. This is also significant in that the Philippines, among other countries, lies in the Pacific Rim of Fire where a large number of earthquake faults lie.
The most important value of the conference is to determine the plan and the cost of implementing such a plan to make the Philippines and other participating nations safer from increasingly hazardous calamities.
Note: The organizers reserve the right to make minor changes in the Conference details prior to the actual Event.

ONE FESTIVAL LIVE MANILA 2010 (OFLM)
I conceptualized this Event as a music festival, with a concert and some side lights. A side exhibit on ecology and related subjects will be put up by professional event managers for the organizers. This is basically a marketing strategy.
As an added come-on, separate exhibits for culture, performing arts, similar disciplines with a focus on the global ecology, the Philippine environment, and other featured side shows will also be part of the undertaking. The venues will need not be in one place, except that the entire idea is to internalize a sentiment of “one-ness” in concern for the environment.
This festival, OFLM, is the culminating Event of the 2010 Hazard Mapping and Environment Summit in Manila. The activity is a Music Festival intended to raise funds for the victims of man-made and natural calamities such as Philippine Typhoons, IDPs in hostilities in various areas in the Philippines, victims of the tsunami in the ASEAN-Pacific Regions, and to support the Private Sector Led database development and the creation of a full-functional integrated geographic information system that will include the ASEAN Flood GIS, Forest GIS, Water GIS, Volcanoes GIS, Earthquake GIS, Typhoon GIS, Political conflicts and hostilities GIS.
I hope and pray to see you all there. Come everyone! You are dearly invited!!!
