COP15: Make your voices heard

A SPIRITED SOUL by Jeannie Javelosa

Opinion Page, November 29, 2009

Come Dec. 7 to 18, world leaders and environmental ministers willdescend on Copenhagen, Denmark. COP15 is the official name of

the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit — the 15th Conferenceof the Parties (COP) under the United Nations FrameworkConvention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This is to continuemoving the agreements and sign off on the non-agreements madeduring the Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2012. It affects the Philippines in that we are second largest archipelagoon this planet and forms the apex of the Coral Triangle, the world’s

most productive undersea food factory. According to the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF, the world’slargest and most respected conservation organization), this area annually generates close to 40 tonnes of seafood per square kilometer. How precious is that!

WWF is calling for the continuation of the Kyoto protocol in industrialized countries as well as a decisiveprotocol in Copenhagen — which should legally bind all major emitters. Should talks break down, thenmore frequent and destructive climate events will surely assail climate-vulnerable countries — especiallyour country. Although some people in the know are already trying not to be discouraged by inside talk thatCOP15 will not fully succeed, we still want to keep our hopes up to see the main objectives at least partlyrealized. These objectives include: to significantly reduce greenhouse gases for industrialized countries (theUS and China being the major offenders who did not sign the Kyoto protocol); cap specific emissions for developing countries; and the creation of a worldwide financing fund specific for climate adaptationmeasures especially in developing countries. This last one is what would benefit us directly if realized as wehave clear grim examples with the recent typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng and flood disasters.

COP15 may seem so far away and so gigantic an undertaking where ordinary citizens like us won’t evenhave a chance to participate in. But as synchronicity would have it, a former office associate of mine, PaulGarilao, sent me an e-mail from Hawaii where he is presently based. And here was the answer to whateach of us can try to do at least leading up to the COP15 days. Raise awareness for it!

Paul saw an online competition sponsored by CNN, YouTube and Danish government. He quickly calledhis Manila-based former De La Salle classmate Alfonso Orioste who jumped in to shoot footages in Manila.They created and uploaded a simple YouTube video-generated campaign called “Raise Your Voice” toappeal to the viewers to think about the effects of climate change by joining the online campaign. As of thiswriting, this is only the single entry from the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

Their video entry is presently featured by YouTube together with other four contenders from Germany,

France, India and Italy. In the video entry, the young guys discuss disaster management systemand major shift to use alternative energies. If they are able to generate a significant number of votes, Paul and Alfonso

http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=527597&publicationSubCategoryId=89











will represent the Philippines and raise environmental concerns with the leaders during COP15. What isheartwarming about the video is the “individual power” that these two reflect... where change begins withone’s personal actions. And how they are moving! They are moving online and offline, into schools, organizations and groups to help them spread the word. Based on viewpoints from a developed anddeveloping nation, the two passionate environmentalists highlight action plans to reduce carbon emissionsby industries and implement preventive measures when natural disasters strike. Their main purpose is to just continue conversations on issues about climate change not only in the community but through all socialnetworking sites.

Soon-to-be-lawyer Alfonso Orioste said, “As we have experienced, the storms Ondoy and Pepeng taughtus a lot of lessons. This is a wake up call for the Philippine government to implement laws and programs onenvironmental management and disaster preparedness.” He is focusing his specialization on environmentalpolicies. Paul Garilao, meanwhile, was a licensed engineer in Manila whose main research was onLiquefied Petroleum Gas two stroke engines, which focused on alternative energies. Paul takes the globalstand in “asking our global leaders to reach out to developing countries like the Philippines in helping uscraft an effective communications program to respond to disasters.”

There are environmental movements, groups and organizations all over the world now focusing on COP15as another deciding point on the key environmental issues of our time. Can we do our very small share?

Can we begin by clicking on that YouTube video to raise the number of people supporting Paul and Alfonsoas they are the only voices from Southeast Asia, and from a third-world country to boot in this YouTubeonline campaign. Let’s begin to open our ears and minds to COP15 and wish it a successful summit. For what’s at stake is not land, nor money, nor power. At stake is the survival of our people and our planet.

(The two best video campaigns will win through public voting until tomorrow. Visit www.youtube.com/cop15 . Click Vote; search Philippines on the videos per country; Click the “green thumbs up” sign for the entry entitled: “Raise Your Voice by Filipino environmental advocates.” The video can be viewed at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8RanL2KMyo)

Pinoys join Raise Your Voice campaign on climate change

By Yasmin Arquiza, November 20, 2009

A six-minute amateur video featuring dramatic footage that showed the devastation caused by tropicalstorm Ondoy is the lone Philippine entry in a YouTube campaign to raise awareness on the issue of climatechange.

In a news release, De La Salle University graduates Alfonso Orioste Jr. and Paul Darwynn Garilao said thedestruction from the cyclone was the motivation for their decision to join the “Raise Your Voice" campaign.

The contest encourages individuals to send videos containing their views and questions about the United

Nations conference on climate change in Copenhagen next month. The campaign is sponsored by CNN,Youtube, and the government of Denmark.

Two winners who will be selected by public voting on YouTube from November 6 to 30 will get a free trip toCopenhagen to attend the landmark conference. The global gathering will determine new targets for curbing carbon emissions from human activities that scientists have deemed responsible for the earth’schanging weather.

Video entries may also be aired during the CNN/Youtube debates on December 15, one of the manyactivities during the conference that are meant to draw global attention to the issue.

In their entry, Orioste and Garilao highlighted the disastrous impact of climate change in a developing

country – in this case the Philippines – and contrasted the image with initiatives that are underway in richcountries to address the issue.

From Manila, Orioste talked about the need for disaster preparedness and improved communication as partof environmental management systems that are necessary to respond to natural calamities moreeffectively.

“As we have experienced, the storm Ondoy (Ketsana) taught us a lot of lessons. This is a wake-up call for the Philippine government to implement laws and programs on environmental management and disaster preparedness," said Orioste, who is studying law at San Beda.

Meanwhile, from his current work base in Hawaii, Garilao advocated the use of renewable energy such as

solar panels and wind turbines as the “best step to combat climate change." An engineer, Garilao has doneresearch on the use of LPG two-stroke engines as an alternative form of clean energy.

2 Pinoys join CNN, YouTube climate video tilt

By David Dizon, abs-cbnNEWS.com | 11/17/2009 6:53 PM

MANILA - Two Filipinos, both graduates of De La Salle University-Manila, have joined an online user-generated video contest on YouTube that seeks to raise awareness of climate change worldwide.

Paul Darwynn Garilao and Alfonso Orioste, Jr. said the “Raise Your Voice” video tilt is sponsored by CNN,YouTube and the Danish government. The contest encourages individuals to send videos with their views,opinions, and questions about the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen,Denmark from December 7 to 21.

In an interview, Garilao said producers of the two best video campaigns will have a chance to join theconference dubbed as the biggest convention after Kyoto Protocol. Earlier reports said the United NationsClimate Change Conference will iron out platforms to “reduce global warming emissions and ultimatelychart a course that avoids the most severe impacts of climate change.”

Garilao, who finished mechanical engineering and used to work for a local public relations firm, said he was

challenged to join the contest after seeing the devastation wrought by Typhoons Ondoy (Ketsana) andPepeng (Parma).

"The Philippines was struck by two typhoons recently. I was looking for a way to help and this opportunitycame for us to raise our voice and be heard about the need for disaster management system in thecountry," he told abs-cbnNEWS.com.

Garilao said the video takes a holistic approach towards managing climate change. "There should be astakeholder approach towards climate change. Instead of becoming reactive, the government should beproactive. That means getting support from the Armed Forces of the Philippines for relief operations whilealso tapping companies for donations," he said.



For the private sector, he said there should an umbrella of organizations similar to the Red Cross that willimplement relief and rescue operations during times of calamity. He said this umbrella group should knowwhich organizations to tap in specific areas affected by disasters.

Garilao also encouraged the use of alternative energy sources including solar panels and turbines.

Finally, he said individuals could also help in the climate change effort by reducing carbon emissions aswell as conserving energy. "There are different ways to make an impact such as conserving water, turning

off air conditioners and turning off lights when you're not using them. It's something that could be done inthe workplace and at home," he said.

Garilao said their video entry was featured by YouTube together with other four contenders from Germany,France, India, and Italy. He said the video intends to raise awareness of the impact of climate change andhow leaders should respond to the issue.

"We challenge government officials to highlight climate change as an election issue for 2010," he said.

Raise your voice for Climate Change – support the Filipino voiceBy Donelle Gan

It's pretty rare to have unknown people raise their voice in a big way for climate change. That's exactly whatmy friends Paul Garilao and Ponching Orioste are doing right now, joining the COP15 Raise your Voice 2009 campaign. To vote for their entry just visit www.youtube.com/cop15; click vote; search Philippines onthe videos per country; and click the green thumbs up sign for the entry entitled: Raise Your Voice byFilipino environmental advocates.

Please vote for them! :)

I've been thinking myself about what steps can be taken to help the environment. Often we focus on bigcontroversial problems (like the recent Ondoy/Ketsana storm) and use that as a springboard for discussion.But I think some more fundamental aspects of our city life can be changed to produce significant results for our environment. Here are my ideas:

1. Improve traffic conditions

Problem: 5.3 million cars as of 2006 and an increase at the rate of 5-6% per year means a lot of greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere. Given the bad traffic situations in majority of the country,these cars spend more time than they need to on the road, burning even more fuel. Go to Wolfram alpha toget a feel of how much CO2 is thrown to the atmosphere. Apart from the greenhouse impact, badtransportation also results to anxiety and poor health in people and economic hits due to productivity loss,perishable meats, and more.

What the solution might look like: Expand train network - The model is Hong Kong. A small place connected by a lot of trains. This reducespeople's need for cars, so the carbon footprint per person is markedly reduced. The trains should beunderground so we have more space on the ground.

Eradicate jeepneys and other public transport - consolidate public transport under the bus. This seats themost number of people and is most efficient (I think, I have no data). Keep taxis of course. Most valid for large cities.Disallow parking along the streets - We can plant trees there instead. Requires a cultural shift and thecreation of a strong parking industry.

What it will cost: A lot. Billions range obviously over the span of a few years, but the benefit will perseverefor decades.Benefits: To the environment: lesser greenhouse emissions, fuel stock will last a longer timeTo the country: productivity and value creation due to lesser time spent in transit, fuel importation might bedecreased

To the people: less stress in travelI hope a Philippine President addresses this soon.

Other ideas (I like to stress the first one, so I won't explain these.)2. Modify educational framework to focus on the environment in the curriculum. Intensify the instruction of environmental science, and encourage experimentation/projects in this subject. Better start young.

3. Reward actions that help the environment. Reward citizens for helping the environment (activities,purchasing eco-friendly products) and companies via tax breaks. Reward entrepreneurs for eco-friendlybusinesses.

Two Filipinos need our votes to raise our voices in Copenhagen

November 29,2009

There’s no doubt that Efren Penaflorida’s victory as CNN Hero of the Year was due in large part to the

Filipino online community’s voting prowess.

This time, two more Filipinos–Paul Garilao and Alfonso Orioste –need our votes–to win the CNN/YouTube

climate change video contest and get the chance to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference

in Copenhagen, Denmark from December 7 to 21.

According to an Inquirer report, Garilao and Orioste’s entry, “Raise Your Voice by Filipino Environmental

Advocates”, was the lone entry from the Philippines and Southeast Asia as of the article’s posting on

Saturday, November 28.

Garilao is a licensed engineer now based in Hawaii. Orioste, meanwhile, is a San Beda law student. Both

received their undergraduate degrees from the De La Salle University.

To help them take action against climate change:
