The forum I attended was Ms. Anna Oposa’s Marine
Conversations. It was about her journey on how she became a chief mermaid of
Save Philippine Seas. She explains that sometimes not everything you plan will
be as it is.
I
may not be interested in her campaign, but as living thing in this earth, I
support her. As she stated, the earth
without art is just eh. Her concern in this earth must reach to everyone so
that our world would be a better place in the future. We need to be aware that
everything we do have an effect on each of everyone. Her journey from when she
was a student up to now was really inspiring. It might be very different to
mine as a UP student, but I learned that everything has a purpose. She was
practicing to be the next Lea Salonga and her 4-year course was related to
writing, yet her passion leads her to be the chief mermaid of Save Philippine
Seas. Her interest in nature started when one he professor ask them to chose
either to take finals or pick trash. Well, she chose to pick trash. Maybe it
was one the moment that help her realize that she was meant to be a mermaid.
The
thing I like most in her talk beside that she sang A Whole New World was her
encouragement that every one of us must come out in our shell. We should be
courage to do what we think is right and we should think creatively so it will
benefit each one of us including mother earth. By the way, I also love her
PowerPoint presentation, it was really nice and so many cute pictures that grab
my attention.
