PPC, Palawan - Running on its 18th year now, the Pista
Y Cagueban or Feast of the Forest brought together more
than 30,000 Puerto Prinsesans, students, NGOs, government
units and even tourists and guests as part of the city's
celebration of World Environment Month out of their
love for Mother Earth. Puerto Prinsesa boasts of vast
lands covered with more than a million trees planted
by the people since the Pista was launched in 1990.
This event has been much awaited by people not only
from Puerto Prinsesa City but as well as people from
all over Palawan, Philippines and even guests abroad.

Miss Earth cleans up Kuta Beach
Kuta
Beach, a popular tourist destination in Bali, Indonesia
known for its big waves is not spared from irresponsible
visitors who leave their trash behind its beautiful
sand and waters. Last December 11, 2007, Miss Earth
2007 Jessica Trisko along with other Miss Earth beauties
took the initiative to clean-up the shores of the
beach. The debris collected were mostly cigarette
butts, plastic and even dead fish. "This is such
a nice beach and people should take care of it. Visitors,
both local and foreigner alike should leave nothing
but footprints behind." said Trisko.
