Let's Support Pinoy Coconut Geotextile
- a Finalist in BBC's World Challenge!

Fellow Pinoys,

Did you know that the Philippines' coconut geotextile (a.k.a.
coconet) for soil erosion control has been chosen as one of the 12
finalists in Newsweek and BBC's (British Broadcasting Corporation)
World's World Challenge?

The World Challenge is basically a competition/ search designed at
identifying groups or individuals all over the world whose projects
have contributed great impact at grass roots level.

A documentary about Philippine Coconut geotextile or coconet industry
will be shown on the BBC World cable channel on September 24 around
8:30 GMT and will also be featured in the August 29 special issue of
Newsweek.

"The World Challenge" already offers a tremendous exposure and
publicity to our flourishing Philippine coconut geotextile industry
and to our Philippine coconut fiber exporters. But it would be great
pride for our country, which has been getting very bad publicity
nowadays, to win this prestigious competition.

Please help us campaign for more voters by forwarding this message
to your co-worker, friends and relatives.

Thanks!


P.S. One of those involved in the development of coconut fibers is
Dr. Bo
Arboleda from Albay.
