Get to (Cultural) Work: 350 and Art (via Mga Kathang Katotohanan)

Music. There is no better way to pull the climate-active heartstrings than with environmental music and lyrics. Culturally localized pieces especially endear our message to the sectors. Below is a performance by Karl Ramirez, the founding chair of 350 Philippines lead organizer Agham Youth (AY), and Roselle Pineda of the Concerned Artists of the Philippines, in the Rhythm and Rhymes of the Environment cultural night that was organized as part of AY’s work party activities. It is a reggae version of the Ilocano environmental song Gatan by DKK. Read More

Blogging a song 10/10/10 action day #350pinoy

Alagaan ang Kalikasan (Care for the Environment) was written and first recorded August last year, a month before the onslaught of Ondoy and Pepeng. To celebrate the song’s timely message, a better version was produced this year. Have fun listening! Climate justice now! Lyrics after the jump.

Alagaan ang Kalikasan

Alagaan ang Kalikasan (was originally titled ‘Pansinin ang Kalikasan’) is the official theme of CDRC’s 30-minute disaster preparedness segment airing at Radio Veritas DZRV 846 khz every Friday 7:30am. It has been a year since I’ve written and recorded this song and I think the best way to celebrate its timely message is to sing and record the song one more time. A jazzy fun beat this time around. Have fun listening! If the play button above doesn’t work, try this one.

Blog Action Day 2009

On October 15, bloggers worldwide will speak as one on climate change. We, Filipino bloggers, have much to say and share in this global conversation.

We just survived and continue to grapple with supertyphoons Ondoy (Ketsana) and Pepeng (Parma) that snatched hundreds of lives, destroyed property and livelihood and took the issue of climate change to the very center of our conversations with family, friends, classmates, colleagues.
