The John Jay College of Criminal Justice (John Jay) is a senior college of the City University of New York in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. John Jay was founded as the only liberal arts college with a criminal justice and forensic focus in the United States.[3][4] The college is known for its criminal justice, forensic science, forensic psychology, and public affairs programs.
In 1964, a committee convened by the Board of Higher Education recommended the establishment of an independent, degree-granting school of police science. The College of Police Science (COPS) of the City University of New York was subsequently founded and admitted its first class in September 1965. Within a year, the school was renamed John Jay College of Criminal Justice to reflect broader education objectives.[5] The school's namesake, John Jay, was the first chief justice of the United States Supreme Court and one of the founding fathers of the United States. Jay was a native of New York City and served as governor of New York State.
Classes were originally held at the Police Academy on East 20th Street. Leonard E. Reisman served as college president from 1964 to 1970, succeeded by Donald Riddle, president from 1970–1975.
Era of protests and disputes[edit]
In the spring of 1970, after President Nixon announced that the Cambodian Campaign would be extended, the college held two "heated" teach-ins about the conflict.[6] Many other college campuses were home to student strikes across the nation. On May 7, 1970, the faculty voted 52-39 in favor of closing the college in protest of President Nixon's handling of the Vietnam War and the killing of students by National Guardsmen at Kent State University and Jackson State College. But the closing of John Jay College would ultimately be up to its students, the faculty decided. At an impassioned student meeting, the final vote was 865–791 in favor of keeping the college open.[7]
In the summer of 1970, Professor Abe Blumberg made some criticisms of the FBI and the Director J. Edgar Hoover in a graduate course on the sociology of law. One of his students, an FBI agent named Jack Shaw, examined the agency's role in American society in his master's thesis, granting that some of Blumberg's criticisms may have been valid. His paper found its way to Hoover's hands, who ordered that Shaw resign and told President Riddle that as long as Blumberg (a tenured professor) remained on the faculty, no FBI agents would attend John Jay. Riddle defended Blumberg, citing academic freedom.[8] After Hoover's death in 1972, FBI agents began to enroll again at the college.[9] The FBI later paid former agent Shaw $13,000 in back pay.[7]
Open Admissions[edit]
CUNY's open admissions Program came into effect in the fall of 1970. The program had been slated to begin in 1975, but was sparked into early enforcement after a group of students at City College demonstrated against the overwhelming whiteness of CUNY's student body, demanding greater access for black and Latino students. Adopting the Open Admissions policy meant that the University would now provide a place for any high school graduate who desired to attend.[10] Across CUNY, student enrollment ballooned. At John Jay, undergraduates numbered 2,600 in 1969; 4,400 in 1970; 6,700 in 1972; and 8,600 in 1973. The size of the faculty grew by over 200% between 1970–1972.[7] Moreover, the policy brought many more "civilian" (non-law enforcement) students to the College. The school's massive and sudden growth had a profound effect. More of the college's budget went toward remedial programs to help transition underprepared freshmen. In addition, the college broadened its curriculum, expanding into liberal arts. Majors including English, Math, American Studies, and Chemistry were introduced during this period in the early 1970s. The SEEK program developed during this time as well, supporting students from underprivileged backgrounds who showed academic promise.[7]
President Riddle resigned to become chancellor of the University of Illinois at Chicago.[11] From 1975–1977, Gerald W. Lynch served as acting president, and in 1977, he was sworn in as college president, a position he would hold until 2004.
As the school grew, its space constraints were felt, despite having acquired the Miles Shoe Building on West 59th Street (North Hall) in 1969. In 1973, John Jay rented the former 20th Century Fox building (South Hall) a few blocks from North Hall.
CUNY Fiscal Crisis of 1976[edit]
In 1976, City University Board of Trustees threatened to shut down the college during a time of fiscal crisis for CUNY and New York City as a whole. Throughout the campaign to "save John Jay," the faculty and administration united to advocate the sentiment voiced by President Lynch in a memo: "John Jay can contribute to the city as a unique resource to help solve the problems of crime, public productivity, manpower needs, and budget management."[7] After weeks of turmoil, the college decided to trim its budget to remain independent rather than merge with Baruch College. On April 5, the Board of Higher Education voted to preserve John Jay. Though the budget cuts were still painful, the college community's efforts were successful.
Curricular Expansion[edit]
In 1980, at President Lynch's urging, the college established its first doctorate program, offering a Ph.D. in Criminal Justice on the heels of several Master's programs. In the next two decades of Lynch's presidency, enrollment and the faculty grew, the school's external activities expanded, and its curriculum continued to evolve. John Jay continued to pursue an approach to education more attuned to the liberal arts. The college supported more curricular cultural diversity, establishing an Ethnic Studies track and strengthening its Women's Studies program. Between 1985 and 1988, as faculty pursued more research opportunities, the amount of grant money given to John Jay faculty increased by over 500%.[7]
Again, the college felt the constraints of space, and in 1986 acquired Haaren Hall (formerly DeWitt Clinton High School) across the intersection from North Hall.[12] After renovation, Haaren Hall was opened to students in 1988. The new hall included a spacious two-level library, christened Lloyd Sealy Library in 1991 for Lloyd Sealy, a John Jay alumnus.
CUNY Fiscal Crisis of 1995[edit]
In 1995, CUNY suffered another fiscal crisis when Governor George Pataki announced a $162 million cut in state financing for the university.[13] The CUNY board of trustees declared a state of financial emergency. By June, in response to the threat of budget cuts, CUNY had adopted a stricter admissions policy for its senior colleges: students deemed unprepared for college would not be admitted, a departure from the 1970 Open Admissions program, in order to save money spent on remedial programs.[14] The proposed $162 million in cuts was reduced to $102 million, which CUNY absorbed by increasing tuition by $750 and offering a retirement incentive plan for faculty. (In May 1996, a State Supreme Court justice ruled that CUNY misused their emergency financial authority to lay off professors, close departments, and cut remedial aid.[15])
Academic Overhaul and Campus Expansion[edit]
On September 11, 2001, John Jay lost 67 alumni and students, many of them firefighters, in the World Trade Center attacks. The school resumed class on September 13, providing additional counseling for students, many of whom saw their studies and career aspirations in a new light.[16][17] In September 2011, John Jay dedicated a memorial to the fallen members of its community who died on 9/11. The memorial, a large steel fragment from the World Trade Center ruins, was officially unveiled in September 2013.[18][19]
In 1998, the New York State Legislature had approved a five-year capital budget of $352 million for the college to improve its facilities. The college continued to expand its campus as enrollment grew. The "New Building," a 13-story tower connected to Haaren Hall's west side, opened in 2011, dramatically increasing the college's square footage and adding green space to the campus.[20]
President Lynch retired in 2004, having headed the longest senior-level administration in City University of New York history.[21] He was succeeded by Jeremy Travis, who was previously a Senior Fellow at the Justice Policy Center and had directed the National Institute of Justice.
John Jay joined the Macaulay Honors College, an advising program for top students, in September 2012.[22] In December 2012, the college received its largest ever donation: $5 million from adjunct professor and alumnus Dr. Andrew Shiva.[23]
John Jay College of Criminal Justice is fully accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The school is primarily known for its criminal justice studies, forensic psychology, and forensic science programs, supported by a liberal arts curriculum. The student-faculty ratio is 18:1, and the average freshman retention rate is 75.5%.[24] The college offers a variety of in-person, online, and hybrid courses. There are a total of 1,100 faculty members employed by the school.[2]
As of 2013, U.S. News and World Report ranked John Jay's Criminology graduate program #10 nationally and its Public Affairs graduate program #59 nationally (in the top 20%). U.S. News ranked John Jay College of Criminal Justice #38 in the top public schools of the regional north.[25]
The Conference on College Composition and Communication awarded a certificate of excellence to the John Jay College Writing Program in 2012–2013 for "imaginatively address[ing] the needs and opportunities of its students, instructors, institution, and locale" and offering "exemplary ongoing professional development" for faculty.[26]
The college currently admits 47% of applicants to its undergraduate programs. Graduate admission is competitive, attracting law enforcement professionals worldwide.[27] The school's applicants tend to be in-state residents with 97% of students enrolled in classes at college being residents of New York State, with just 3% out-of-state.[28]
Honors programs[edit]
John Jay College is a member of the selective Macaulay Honors College program, which awards academically gifted students with a full four-year tuition scholarship, specialized academic advisers, and an Opportunities Fund of $7,500, to be used toward academically enriching experiences. Students accepted into the program are deemed University Scholars and collaborate with other honors students across CUNY campuses.[29]
The college houses multiple research centers and institutes focused on crime and justice:

Student life[edit]
Approximately 13,000 undergraduate students and 2,000 graduate students attend John Jay. The diverse student body includes 135 different nationalities and is 39% Hispanic, 21% African-American, 12% Asian, and 28% white. Four hundred students are veterans. 47% of the student body are first-generation college students.[2] About half of John Jay students speak a language other than English at home. The school is considered a "commuter college" as all students reside off-campus.
The student body is governed by the Student Council, a Judicial Board, a faculty advisor, and voluntary student organizations. There are 38 student organizations are active on campus, many of which are housed in "Club Row", a series of hallways where the student clubs are given space.[42] The Student Council disburses funds for organizations deemed "Essential Service," such as the Yearbook committee.[43]
College teams participate as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division III. The Bloodhounds are a member of the City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC). The following sports include:
- Fall: men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's tennis, men's and women's cross country
- Winter: men's and women's basketball, women's swimming, and rifle
- Spring: baseball, softball, and men's tennis
The college consists of six buildings. It is located in northwest midtown Manhattan near Columbus Circle and Lincoln Center.
- Haaren Hall
Haaren Hall, also known as the 'Tenth Avenue building or, simply, the T building, is the main campus building of John Jay. Located at 899 10th Avenue, it houses the majority of the administrative departments and classrooms. Originally designed by Charles B.J. Snyder to house De Witt Clinton High School, the building was erected in 1903.[44] In 1988, Haaren Hall was acquired by John Jay and now contains the Lloyd Sealy Library, the Gerald W. Lynch Theater, a gymnasium, and a swimming pool.
- North Hall
North Hall, also known as the N building, is located at 445 West 59th Street, diagonally across the intersection from Haaren Hall. Prior to the acquisition in 1973, the building was a shoe factory.[45]
- Westport Building
Westport Building, also referred as the W building, is a 24-story residential/commercial skyscraper located at 500 West 56th Street. Constructed in 2003 by The Related Companies, the first two floors of Westport Building are occupied by John Jay. It was also the location of the John Jay branch of Barnes & Noble College Booksellers, until the summer of 2014, in which the bookstore was closed as the campus switched to a digital service.[citation needed]
- BMW Building
The BMW Building is a commercial skyscraper on 555 West 57th Street, opened in 1992.[citation needed] Located adjacent to the New Building, the 6th floor of the BMW Building houses the Academic Centers and Training Rooms of John Jay.
- 54th Street Annex
The 54th Street Annex is a 10-story building, built in 1930 and located at 619 West 54th Street. It is the southernmost structure of the campus. Some of John Jay's administrative offices are located there.[citation needed]
- The "New" Building
(Also known as "The Tower" and denoted "NB".) The New Building is located at 11th Avenue between West 58th and 59th Streets. The modernistic 240 ft. tall, 13-story structure was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill,[46] and structurally engineered by Leslie E. Robertson Associates. The New Building was opened on November 2, 2011, at a cost of $600 million. The tower is directly connected to the western side of Haaren Hall and includes classrooms, conference rooms, a black box theater, a mock court, a 9/11 memorial, and an exterior roof quad called the "Jay Walk."
- Online Degrees and Certificates
In 2014 John Jay College launched two completely online Masters degrees and one online professional certificate. The online portion of the college currently offers a Masters degree in Security Management, Masters degree in Public Management, Certificate in Terrorism Studies, and a non-credit Certificate in Homeland Security. John Jay College Online plans to launch more degrees and certificates in the future. [47]

Most of my repetitious phrases are pretty routine, pretty mundane - lackluster in general. Yet there is one phrase I love - love! - to repeat ... over and over again: "It's time for the 700 Family Yard Sale."
If you have a short memory (like my husband and daughters do when it comes to washing dishes), you might not remember my column from a year ago celebrating this most wonderful, brilliant day.
When I asked 13-year-old John why he helps out year after year, he replied, "I like helping with the money, and I love to see all the families that come. I love, too, that helping out means I can reserve things beforehand."
Aelish Kelliher, 11, remarked that helping is really fun and said she loves seeing all the stuff "that other people don't think is cool. There are so many choices - lots of stuff, so many clothes."
When I mentioned to my friend Trish that the sale was coming up, she checked her schedule and shrieked in delight, knowing she could make the date again this year. Last year, she paraded her find of Bose 301 stereo speakers and a Yamaha receiver down the street en route to her car, smiling to passersby and remarking, "Yup, look what I found for $60!"
And, indeed, we all win when we converge upon Durham on Saturday, Sept. 7. This is indeed worth repeating: It's time for 700 Family Yard Sale. This Saturday. You heard it here first AND second

Knicks hold off Grizzlies for win
Look who has the NBA's longest winning streak now.
The New York Knicks, mired in a bad slump just two weeks ago, tied a season high with their sixth straight victory by holding off the Memphis Grizzlies, 108-101 on Wednesday night.
J.R. Smith scored 35 points, his second straight 30-point game, to help the Knicks withstand a furious rally.
''I started off establishing my game on the inside and moving on from there,'' said Smith, who shot 10 of 18 from the field and 12 of 13 from the free throw line. ''Fortunately, I got a lot of calls, got to the free throw line and was making my free throws, except for one. My mom is going to kill me, but I'll take it.''
Smith scored 32 points against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday.
Carmelo Anthony added 22 points and Iman Shumpert had 16 for the Knicks, who started the season 6-0 but had played around .500 ball for much of the time since. They took over the NBA's longest win streak after Miami's 27-game run ended with a 101-97 loss in Chicago.
After trailing by as many as 30 points early in the second half, the Grizzlies cut their deficit to 103-99 on Tony Allen's two free throws with 33 seconds left.
However, they got no closer as Raymond Felton, Smith and Anthony scored the game's next five points at the free throw line.
''Games happen in spurts,'' Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. ''To win games by 30 going away isn't that easy sometimes.''
With the Knicks leading 71-41 early in the second half, the Grizzlies went on a 29-13 run and cut their deficit to 84-70 on Jerryd Bayless' 3-pointer with 32 seconds left in the third quarter.
Two free throws by Smith gave the Knicks an 86-70 lead heading into the fourth.
After Smith opened the final quarter with a three-point play, the Grizzlies pulled within 89-79 with a 9-0 run, as Bayless scored all nine points.
Quincy Pondexter's jumper with 1:38 remaining cut the lead to five, but Jason Kidd hit a 3-pointer with 1:16 left to stall the comeback.
''In the second half we got a little lax,'' Shumpert said. ''They started to feel good and then we got a little rattled and got into the referees. We know where we messed up.''
Shumpert scored 13 of the Knicks' first 15 points. His 3-pointer with 8:13 left in the first quarter broke a 7-all tie and the Knicks led the rest of the game.
New York ended the first quarter on a 30-18 run, shooting 72.2 percent from the field (13-for-18) for the period to take a 37-25 lead. They increased their lead to 30 points in the second quarter, 69-39, on another 3-pointer by Shumpert with just 9 seconds left before settling for a 69-41 halftime lead.
''Obviously, it was a bad start, getting all the way down by 30 points,'' said Memphis coach Lionel Hollins. ''I'm proud of our guys, the way that they showed character and fought back. We had to finally find a lineup that could both guard and score. We worked our way back, but we just didn't have any margin for error.''
Shumpert connected on all six of his field goal attempts in the first half, including 4 of 4 on 3-pointers, while the Knicks shot 61 percent overall, including 11 of 21 (52 percent) from 3-point range.
''Early on, we recognized that they put a big man on me,'' Shumpert said. ''I took that as disrespect. Once everybody saw me feeling good, the bucket got big for everybody.''
Mike Conley led Memphis with 26 points and Bayless finished with 24. Allen had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Marc Gasol, who missed the previous two games with an abdominal tear, finished with 13 points.
''I felt I could play and could help my teammates,'' Gasol said. ''That's the bottom line. Obviously we didn't win and that didn't make me feel any better. Like I said, if I can play, I will play. That's the way it's always been with me and hopefully that's how it's always going to be.''
NOTES: Tyson Chandler missed his eighth straight game for the Knicks with a bulging disk . The Knicks' 69 points at halftime were their highest total this season. They scored 68 against the Lakers in a 116-107 win on Dec. 3 . Memphis has lost five straight road games for the first time since Nov. 15 to Dec. 6, 2010 . Marcus Camby was ejected from the game after picking up two technical fouls with 8:12 left in the third quarter.

- Sarah (Jenney) Pope's Profile
- Family Tree & Genealogy Tools
Contents |
There are several different versions of Sarah's birth. One account says Sarah was born about 1621 in Leiden, South Holland, the Netherlands. Another account says she was born en route to Plymouth, MA aboard the ship "Little James" in July 1623, and Anderson says that she was born about 1625.[1]
- Here is an interesting article about the voyage of the "Little James" and her passengers.
We know that John Jenney's wife Sarah had a baby during the 1623 voyage. John Bridge, the captain of the "Little James", reported "we araived at our port with all our Company and one mor for Goodey Jenenges was delivered of a child in the shep a month before we cam a shore and are both well so god be praised."[2] Captain Bridge does not say whether the child was a boy or girl. Anderson states that this child was a boy, but he gives no source for this information.
In 1623, each head of household in Plymouth was given 1 acre of land for each family member. John Jenney received 5 acres.[3] John and his wife Sarah had two children born in Holland, Samuel and Abigail, and a child born aboard ship, giving him 5 living members of his family on the date of the division of land. If the child born aboard the "little James" was a boy, there wasn't enough time before the land division for the Jenneys to have another child. So, Sarah was either born aboard ship or was born after arrival.
Sarah married Thomas Pope on 19 May 1646 in Plymouth, Plymouth, Massachusetts[4]
- Sarah (Jenney) Pope's mother, Sarah JENNEY, in her will written April the 4th 1654, left Sarah Pope "my bed and furniture therunto belonging one bolster two pillows and pillowbeers three blanketts one old Rugg one paire of sheets, further I bequeath to my Daughter Sarah Pope all my wearing Clothes to Despose of them to my Daughter Abigaill Wood and to my grandchild Sarah Wood for theire use as they have need excepting two of my petticoats which have not been worne which I give to my Daughter Sarah Pope for her paines."
The children of Thomas Pope and Sarah Jenney born in Plymouth were:[5][6]Mayflower Families' Profile of Thomas Pope</ref>

Ensign they were both slain by Philip's warriors, early in the morning as they were going to the garrison, whither they had sent their children the after before. This was in Dartmouth (the so-called carver house, probably the oldest house now standing (1887) in Plymouth, was built in part by Jacob MITCHELL who was a carpenter, and in it he lived after his marriage until he removed to Dartmouth. It is on the west side of Sandwich Street, about twenty rods south of the bridge). They had 3 children.
- Sarah Pope - born February 14, 1652. Married Samuel Hinckley - son of Governor Thomas Hinckley; then Thomas Huckins. Twelve children

History of Cavite, Philippines
- article below verbatim from: www.cavite.gov.ph
The provincial government of Cavite has a colorful history. During the greater part of the Spanish regime the provincial administration was handled by the alcalde mayor who was the representative of the governor and captain general in Manila. As alter ego of the Chief executive of the country, the alcalde mayor exercised over all executive, judicial, and legislative functions within his jurisdiction. He was in fact a petty captain general because he held under his orders the armed forces of the province for purposes of defense and maintenance of peace and order. By the Decree of June 25, 1847 the title of alcalde mayor in Cavite was changed to politico-military governor. He was also tripped of judicial functions.
The last Spanish politico-military governor of Cavite, with headquarters in the cabecera of Cavite (now Cavite City), was Col. Fernando Pargas whom Emilio Aguinaldo, as captain municipal of Cavite el Viejo (now Kawit), saw on the morning of August 31, 1896 to ask for a detachment of soldiers to protect his town from bandits. Aguinaldo's plan was to ambush the government troops on their way to Kawit and seize their arms which his Magdalo followers needed urgently to start the armed uprising against Spain.
While waiting for his turn to talk to Pargas in his office, Aguinaldo learned that only one company of soldiers was left in Cavite as all available infantry men had been sent to Manila upon urgent summons from Governor and Captain General Ramon Blanco, who had placed eight Luzon provinces (Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Laguna, Batangas and Cavite) under martial law following the discovery of the Katipunan secret society.
With this valuable information, Aguinaldo returned posthaste to Kawit and with the help of two councilmen, Candido tria Tirona and Santiago Daño, led the assault and capture of the town's tribunal (municipal building). Earlier that day the towns of San Francisco de Malabon (now General Trias) and Noveleta had risen in arms and taken over the control of the local government. It was this cry of Cavite on August 31, 1896, that signaled the beginning of the revolution. This soon spilled over to nearby provinces until it engulfed the entire country.
Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines was overthrown by revolutionists led by Aguinaldo. Historical documents show that during the revolutionary regime, Cavite had three politico-military governors: Mariano Trias, Emiliano Riego de Dios and Ladislao Diwa.
The revolutionary regime was succeeded by the American regime. Cavite had nine provincial governors from the start of the American regime until the establishment of the Commonwealth government in 1935. These governors were Mariano Trias (1901-1905; Louis J. Van Schaick (1906-1907); Leonardo R. Osorio (1908-1909); Tomas Mascardo (1910-1912); Antero S. Soriano (1912-1919); Luis O. Ferrer, Sr.; (1919-1921); Raymundo Jeciel 91922-1925); Fabian Pugeda (1925-1931) and Pedro F. Espiritu (1931-1934).
The Commonwealth regime lasted from 1935 to 1946. It was interrupted by the Pacific war and the subsequent Japanese occupation of the country. Three governors served during the first phase: Ramon Samonte (1935-1939); Emilio P. Virata, acting governor (1939), and Luis Y. Ferrer, Jr. (1940-1944). Ferrer was succeeded by Mariano N. Castañeda from May to November 1944.
The Japanese-sponsored Second Republic under Dr. Jose P. Laurel was proclaimed in October 1943. Dominador M. Camerino was appointed governor from December 1944 to the early part of February 1945. On February 13, Castañeda was recalled as governor by the commander of the advancing Allied forces.
The Commonwealth government was reestablished towards the end of February 1945 with Rafael F. Trias as the governor. He served for only a few months after he was succeeded by Francisco T. Arca.
The Third republic was established on July 4, 1946 by virtue of the Tydings-McDuffie Act. Manuel Roxas, the last elected president of the commonwealth, continued as president of the Third Republic. During that time, Dominador Camerino was appointed governor. During the end of his term, Mariano B. Villanueva and Horacio Rodriguez took turn of Camerino's position.
Camerino was elected governor in 1952, but again toward the latter part of his term, he was replaced by Dominador Mangubat who acted as governor from 1954 to 1955. Mangubat was followed by Delfin Montano who was elected governor for four consecutive terms (1956 to 1971). Lino D. Bocalan succeeded him in 1952. He was replaced by Dominador M. Camerino who served as acting governor from October 1, 1972 until his death on July 24, 1979.
It was Juanito R. Remulla who was appointed as acting governor on September 25, 1979. Under the Third Republic, he was reelected governor on January 30, 1980. President Marcos proclaimed the Fourth Republic in 1981 and still, Remulla was in his service as governor until February 19, 1986. Fernando C. Campos succeeded him in 1986 to 1987. Remulla was still reelected for a long term (1987-1995). He was succeeded by Epimaco A. Velasco from 1995 to January 1998 and when he was given a position at the National Bureau of Investigation, Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr. was appointed in place of him. Bong Revilla served from February 2, 1998 to 2001. He was then replaced by Ayong S. Maliksi in 2001.
At present Governor Erineo "Ayong" S. Maliksi is considered the Father of Cavite who is holding a very important position in the province. For his years in service, he has continued serving the Caviteños towards advancement and great progress in various sectors. (Source: Saulo and de Ocampo (1985). History of Cavite.

Natural Resources of Cavite, Philippines
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

We have so much water in the Philippines and yet very little to drink.
Instead of relying too much on Diesel fuel and Coal to generate the majority of Philippine's Electrical energy Supply, we can concentrate more on renewable and sustainable source of energy such as: Hydro Power, Solar Power, and Wind Power. We have too many black outs.
