Benham Rise Day

The United Nations officially recognized Benham Rise as part of the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines on April 12, 2012 .

We should not take this occasion for granted. By this recognition, we effectively increased our marine territory with an additional  area approximately one and half times the size of Luzon.

I propose we celebrate this event by making April 12 as Benham Rise Day and the entire April as Benham Rise month.

There are many ways to celebrate this day: Schools holding exhibits and special lectures, local government can hold parades in appreciation of our marine treasures, businesses can do marketing promotion built around the Benham Rise and artists can honor this day with their craft etc.

Let the world know that Benham Rise is ours.

Benguet Gold soap

While making soap one time, I tried to create a green soap by mixing blue and yellow dyes. However, instead of turning green, the mixture resulted in a yellow brown color.

It was not the effect that I wanted but in thinking of how I can put that unexpected result to good use, I thought of making a souvenir soap for Baguio and Benguet tourists by adding sulfur rich mineral water sourced from those two areas.

And so is born Benguet Gold soap.
