Thank you for your Inconvenience

For a community that is blessed with such great environment, whether in land or sea, Subic Bay did not take the Earth Hour campaign too seriously.

I saw a 1 by 2 meter banner at the Olongapo City Mall and another one at the Rizal Gate of the Freeport. Other than those, no coordinated campaign in Subic Bay.

This snub of the Earth Hour by the community, and the government agencies, showed the commitment of the government officials and the residents for the environment.

What about the companies who earn by selling the Subic Bay environment? They may be too concerned with the effluent discharged by the laid up ships to take Earth Hour seriously.

To all those who sacrificed one hour of convenience as a symbolic support for Mother Earth, Thank You!

And the Review continues

I've been out for a while. Unfortunately, the blog also took a vacation.

Well, the Review returns and hope that you guys keep me company as I document Subic Bay.

Thanks for all concerned emails. Rest assured that more and meatier articles will come soon.

For starters, Taiwanese companies investing in high tech ventures are now given free-rental spaces. That should be great for the economy of Subic and will mean more value-adding jobs for the residents.

The government should help out the higher educational institutions within a 30-kilometer radius to mold more techies. If that is done, the incentives will mean more for companies.

WATCH OUR FOR MORE REVIEW OF PLACES HERE. VACATION TIME IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.
