So….can we still donate hair? If so, where? I think when there are no substitutes for hair and its potential will he use it? How harmful can hair be?

Hi. I’m back. I read in the past entries that there was a complaint filed against Petron. I wonder, what happened to that complaint?

And I also read that there are some irregularities in releasing the oil spill funds. Were there some instances that these funds were not released at all due to corruption? I hope to know more about oil spill. Would you mind if I ask your email address?

Thank you.

Hi. I am currently doing a project about oil spill. Do you have the exact records of the GUIMARAS OIL SPILL casualties? And what are the primary causes of death and sickness due to that OIL SPILL?

Comment on First RP-made, double-hulled oil tanker sails by akosistella

akosistella — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 02:54:19 +0000

No, I am not a resident of Guimaras. The oil spill happened in 2006 so you can just click on the archives of that year and in early 2007. There were a lot of personal accounts of the disaster as repored by the various newspapers.

Thanks for dropping by.

Are you a resident of Guimaras? I find your blog very interesting, but would like a bit of personal scope on the disaster. The blog has, however, brought to my attention the names of some companies that I’ll be on the lookout for in the future.

Comment on Governor vows to file libel for Petron rumor-mongering by Vilma Pegg

Vilma Pegg — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 07:07:22 +0000

I am from Calinog, Iloilo but now a resident in HK. In 1996 I went on holiday from HK to Phuket, Thailand with my 2 friends. Included in the package was a trip to an island to see some corals by either snorkling or just stay in the boat with a glass bottom. Upon seeing the corals, I thought, we have a much better coral reef back home just in the neighborhood! It opened my eyes and made me revisit what I have taken for granted. The following month, I took a scuba diving lesson in Puerto Gallera then in less than a year, I bought a little piece of land in Guimaras. Guimaras is a nice place and worth preserving! We have something of great quality, an island of healthy nature. Mr. Governor Nava, I only heard about you rather than know you. This is such a big task – preserve this island, we’re counting on you. It takes everyone to make this happen, a good leader and a good follower and I hope people would cooperate in order to achieve this goal. LET’S PRESERVE THE ISLAND OF GUIMARAS!

As a local girl, been brought up by the seaside close to the area affected of this disaster a year ago my heart goes out to all of which relies for their livelihood from the sea. It has to known most of them are a relative too. Yet, the disaster itself are not to be blame by the missing fish or all crustations disappearance. The carelessness and greed is the most distructive power a few are doing then and now.

One- using dynamites (explosives) to any point or area either land or sea will only result to killing all living matter. How can an affected area recover quickly if theres is nothing left, not even a small root? Without the corals and seweeds no means of food for the fish and no place for them to breed.

The OIL SPILL is a great excuse for them to moan but nature has his own ways to heal if ourselves helps. The OIL SPILL also brought out the true kind we all are. And I do honestly believe that most local are now hoping for another disaster to happened purely for all the freebies available. Working hard and striving to find a living don’t have any meaning at all to many and all concerned outsiders have to understand and rethink of how to help better them, not making them lazy and rely on hand outs instead is not an ideal choice.

Two- boat owners have to stop using anchor, they need to find other ways to moor their boats without distructing the corals and rock formed by nature.

If we are to protect the area as the caring local it will yeild nothing but greatness and much more to our needs. But when selfishness and greed overcomes the nature’s power and self defence the victims are the new and future generations. The force of our distruction is far more stronger than what our creator can do.

I begged all concerns to realise, those who can afford to get out the islands can do so at any time but others will suffer more in all sorts of ways if right now we don’t change our attitude. To all local most affected, please ask yourselves of how to help change and better the area. It is our duty to make the world a better place not the world to make us better. The only reason we are breathing, we owe it to GOD to strive and not GOD to strive for us.

I wish you all GOOD LUCK and MAY GOD BE WITH US ALWAYS. . . .
