Hi there !!!
I just wonder how these above mentioned activities respond to the CLIMATE CHANGE, when I haven’t seen such as tree planting activity. Would that help when our the Mother Nature is in need of immediate help!
Just an observation…..

Hi aab! This was taken from the Sarangani Highlands Restaurant which is located at the road going up the PNP Regional HQ in Barangay Tambler. That’s where Manong Jun and Manang Rose bring most of their visitors.
Am sure they will take you there once you are back. The best time to visit the place is at dusk. Nice view of Sarangani Bay and the resorts below. Will make a post on this place soon. Watch out for it!

Hi Rhey! That’s actually a valid observation. I hope somebody from the CEMCDO reads this and responds to you.

Yeah, that’s right, a tree planting activity is a must at this point in time. . . Let us support the National Tourism Week by advocating the importance of planting trees.

@Rhey -
I think the very purpose of the week-long celebration is just awareness with regards to “Climate Change”, such that it incorporates tourism and environment on its activities. Perhaps, the idea of tree planning is OK in relation to National Tourism Week.
As far as i can remember, for the last 2 years, the National Tourism Week activities remains the same except for the Miss Tourism and themed differently every year.

I think if Gensan would be greener, it would really be one of the most livable cities in the Philippines. Our environment should be given priority since it has been depleted at a faster rate. =D

@blue - Hi Blue, the Art Installation contest is a new addition. Its a very interesting contest because the materials to be used for the art installation are 85% non-degradable waste materials. This contest is aimed at creatingawareness on proper solid waste management.
Hi Rhey- many of the activities may seem to be not related to climate change but if you look closely at the contest criteria and rules you will discover that the activities are geared towards protecting mother earth which can come in many ways and not only tree planting. Tree planting is a good idea but it is being done by a lot of people and organizations already. Waste management is a bigger problem to because many of us still burn their refuse at their backyards which is actually prohibited by RA 9003 or teh solid waste management act and its local counterpart, the City Ordinance no.8. Lets all support the national tourism week.

Hi Orms,
the project is under the GSCCAC or the GSC Culture and the Arts Council where GSCTC is an institutional member. This was brought up during the first meeting of the GSCCAC as the projects in place of GSCCAC together with the following projects: Conceptualization of the General Santos City Museum, the Eco Karera and the Kuyug Tanu Regional Fair. Unfortunately the GSCTC failed to send a representative to the meetings despite the notices of meetings.
The NTW was a Cemcdo initiated project for the past three years and it was only this year that Cemcdo was removed as a member of the Tourism Council. So Cemcdo has no recourse but to implement this project through the GSCCAC under Vice Chair Richard Attendido.
I hope this clear up the matter :)Cheers!!
