A very good lesson here is the use of recycled materials for pots! People still have to get that mentality. Every used container can be used as a pot. ;-)

On the topic of this post, really great work by these kids. This gives me some serious ideas for things to do here in Tacloban with the local schools.

The last thing pinoy need to do is fight amongst themselves about languages. The Philippines struggles enough as is, don’t make it worse by being petty about particular languages.

Make sure your kids all learn fluent English. Not Taglish, not Ceblish, not English with Waray Waray grammar … but English.

This will seriously help you compete in the global marketplace.

Now, if we could just get those stupid Americans (I am one, so I can say that) to switch to the Metric System … and all will be at peace in the world. :)

Len and Elian,

I’m sure it is, but you can’t be discrminatory against the so called Tagalogs (I’ve noticed that about people from Cebu). Check your Philippine passport if you have one, does it say Cebuano and English? Right..

Chinky, we’re in the same league. I remember taking home a bunch of pechay when I was in grade four. We also used to do tree planting once every school year. Some of the trees are still there where we planted them—I am proud…And yes, it doesn’t matter what your language or dialect is, just don’t bastardize it (ikke sant, Marketman?) like so many people do these days. It is inevitable, English is the language to reckon with these days—let’s face it, it is the lingua franca.
