The Cultural Center of the Philippines teams up with Haribon Foundation, Winner Foundation, GMA-7 and other partner organizations for a whole-day package of activities celebrating Earth Day 2009 slated on April 22, Wednesday, at the various CCP venues.
Billed as Sibol: Earth Day 2009: Nurturing a Green Generation, the day kicks off at 7:00 am with an opening ceremony featuring the Alitaptap Storytelling group at the CCP Front Lawn and the launching of the Juan for Trees: An Installation Avenue (a design competition of conceptual trees that will be part of a public art installation at the CCP Front Lawn).
This will be followed by the Manila Bay Clean-up activity and Luntiang Kalikasan tree replanting at the CCP Grounds. The public can also look forward to exhibits such as A Road to 2020: Growing the Trunk exhibit (to be mounted by the Haribon Foundation at the CCP Little Theater Wall) and the exhibit of the winners of Green Tube (a multimedia campaign contest to be shown at the CCP's electronic billboard).
To encourage recycling, Likhang Bago: A Showcase of Innovative Recycled Products will be launched that day. Other events include the Earth Day ‘09 Film Showing, Earth Day '09 Forum with Haribon, the Green Show (a one-hour presentation of the importance of trees in people's lives) to be staged at the Little Theater, and the Green Cycles Bike-A-Thon event, among others.
For more information, call the CCP Earth Day Committee at 832-1125 loc. 1702.
