Hi ho hi ho, to the Pacific we go!

After being instrumental in bearing witness, along with Climate activists, at the Hay Point Coal Terminal , as well as giving support for the call of the Pacific Island nations for Australia and New Zealand to cut their emissions by 45% at the recently concluded Pacific Island Forum (which turned out to be a major disappointment for the Island States) , the Esperanza will be embarking on another campaign that is the very lifeline of the Pacific: The Pacific Tuna.

The Esperanza will be heading out to the Western and Central Pacific ocean, deemed as the worlds last relatively healthy stocks of tuna, to continue protecting this threatened species from extinction.

So at last after a long wait in Cairns,  we have finally left port! A very sunny and beautiful day it was, clear skies, crisp cool air, calm waters.

Just perfect for a first day at sea after more than a weeks wait.

   You are doing the most important job in the world - to save it from the most intelligent and destructive ideas any brain can fashion.

   Go for it.

   Maryann,noong Sept 18 successful naman ang school program namin.Ironically, it was something about the environment.I showed them a video(ok d by Greenpeace,galing sa Youtube) of what probably might happen(tremendous ,mindboggling baha).After a week,Sept 26,nangyari na nga ang nakakatakot na delubyo sa Marikina.May nagisip na binarahan daw ang daluyan ng tubig.Nasa huli ang pagsisisi.

   Mabuti at di direct hit and Manila nitong grabeng bagyo na Pepeng.195 kph daw ito at might have its landfall by tomorrow afternoon.Malakas daw ito, at buti,I thank God, na di kami masyado maaaffected.Pero kahit na kawawa din ang mga kababayan natin.Pero nasa Bicol area na yata now, dadaan ng Quezon,Bulacan,Tuguegarao,Benguet.Hoping na pag tumama sa Sierra Madre mountains ay humina na.Kawawa naman ang mga kababayan natin.
