Uhm....
As long as this does not lead to "Eco-Spirituality" which smacks of Wicca!

MANILA, March 18, 2012—Two weeks before the observance of Earth Hour, a Church leader has invited Filipinos in advance to participate in the worldwide event promoting energy conservation and care for Mother Nature.
Fr. Conegundo Garganta, executive secretary of the Episcopal Commission on Youth (ECY) of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), specifically urged the youth to encourage their family, friends, community, and other people in their network to observe the Earth Hour on March 31. [Eeeeee.....swshshwhshshwshshwshshhh...]
“As in the past years, I enjoin everyone to join in the observance of Earth Hour this 31st of March 2012, the last Saturday of this month, and to extend this invitation to everyone within our respective networks to take part,” Garganta said.
“Let us join millions in our country and around the world in switching off non-essential lights for one hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 PM, and using this time to engage in activities which promote care for our planet,” he added.
The priest likewise urged young Filipinos to join the “I Will If You Will” campaign. The ECY has started off with its "I Will if You Will" statement “the ECY will change its office light bulbs to compact fluorescent lights if you will switch off your lights on March 31, join the ‘I Will If You Will’ campaign, and share these two with your community.”
“This campaign empowers people to share to the world their own personal contribution on how they can willingly do ways to save Mother Earth,” Garganta added.
Organizers of the Earth Hour hope that the initiative will spur people to be more aware of their energy usage and its effect to the environment.
The initiative began in Sydney, Australia in 2007 and has since become a global event. (YouthPinoy)

Have you noticed that the CBCP website did not even cover the Solemn Pontifical High Mass of Cebu Archbishop and CBCP president Jose Palma?
This kind of initiative gets attention in the CBCP website but not the Solemn Pontifical High Mass?
Duh. What a bummer.
So, the old man from Bukidnon is not yet fully retired eh. Oh! Maybe its the nun who is doing his bidding along with the two priests of RCAM.
The blog of a group of Filipino Catholics and their frank commentary on anything that affects their lives as a citizen of the Philippines and as a Roman Catholics.
i am also amazed that CBCP online havent posted the Solemn Pontifical Mass of Abp Palma.. Their website is full of crap. They should not be called CBCP but a CBSCP.. Cath Bishops Social Conf of the Philip[pines..
