Last night, March 28 from 8:30 to 9:30 pm, the Philippines marked Earth Hour 2009 in what is possibly the biggest participative event in world history. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Department of Energy (DOE), other government agencies, commercial sponsors and the general public made the event a success.
The following videos courtesy of GMA-7 showcase the Philippines' participation for two years running in this historic event:

After we flicked off the light switches at home and turned to a small candle's flickering power, I went outside but unfortunately, Caloocan City did not appear to have much organization as far as this event was concerned. It seems our local government officials are concerned with other things, like looking the other way while private contractors working for the national government dig up the Monumento Rotunda. Samson Road all the way up to the Monumento area was well-lighted. Next school year, we should all suggest to the DepEd, the CHED, and Philippine media to conduct a year-long information campaign on Earth Hour 2010 and other related events.

Anyway, country-wide, there is no doubt regarding the positive impact of Philippine participation in Earth Hour 2009. This blog is proud to have participated in a small way towards that success. Given more time to prepare, we should do a lot better next year. The fate of Mother Earth hangs in the balance.
