Episode 43 - October 31, 2012 Guest: Bert Guevara

It is apropos that Bert would grace my last broadcast for the year. He has been a true kindred spirit in the protection of the environment. He is relentless in his pursuit of ways to better the lives of the most ordinary folk and tireless in coming up with innovative projects to support them. Bert and I are in agreement that this advocacy for the environment is a lifetime commitment that neither money nor naysayers can stamp out. Our voices will be heard in whatever medium will carry us through- be it radio, or the internet.

Episode 42 - October 30, 2012 Guest: Ana Alfonso

Ana is the consummate educator in that she approaches teaching in a holistic way- mind, body, and spirit. That she is able to integrate the intellectually-challenged children (who are called special) with regular students, and blend them into one harmonious classroom, not only fills up one group with compassion and empathy, but embraces the other with the feeling of being wanted and understood. She also credits the atmosphere in a happy family for the values one sees in kind and good people.

Episode 41 - October 29. 2012 Guest: Lydia Robledo

I love having Lydia as guest. She is a housewife who first dabbled in bird-watching, then started taking fantastic photographs of butterflies beautiful enough to be included in a book of book about butterflies, and now lectures on native trees and the correct way to reforestation. She did it all because she was committed and cared enough to understand the bottom line of the life cycle of living things.

Episode 40 - October 26, 2012 Guest: Jimmy Dy-Liacco

I've said time and again how Jimmy cured me of the constant migraines I have suffered from grade school through adulthood. How? by telling me how dehydrated I've been! He does it again in our interview tonight when he dispenses such simple solutions to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart ailments and others. He thoroughly believes that the food we eat is truly the best medicine to cure the body of its various ailments.

Episode 39 - October 25, 2012 Guest: John Paul Olivares

I heard of John Paul through Facebook. He has an umbrella NGO called Green Agenda where they're sort of a clearing house for the different environment groups that can be sourced out to whomever needs help. He is an artist, educator, writer/advocate. We talked about the diminishing values among the young of the country and how solutions can be arrived at with the right attitude. He laments that older people are constantly talking of the "good old days" thus making youngsters feel that the bad that's happening is all their fault.

Episode 38 - October 24, 2012 Guest: Dr Judea Mellora

Dea and I met when she was interviewed in the other radio station to discuss the mountains of garbage in the city in the late 90s. She was already practicing medicine in the poor sections of Navotas and Tondo, but she made time to teach communities on how to segregate their garbage. These days though she is a full-time medical practitioner specializing in natural medicine, she still finds time to go to those communities for free consultations and cater to the needs of the poor.

Episode 37 - October 23, 2012 Guest: Inday Berroya

Inday and I had a free-wheeling discussion on the state of our environment specifically the planting of indigenous trees, trees being cut due to ignorance, and giving way to the building of no-sense commercial structures in its place. We also talked about the garbage dumped by ships in the sea that find its way to beaches, and how wildlife like birds and turtles are harmed by this practice.
