Caring our mother earth...

Please read! I am sharing to you this email I got from PGTEP e-group of which I am a member...

Philippines will join countries around the world as we literally "turn the lights out" for Earth Hour - an event that will fuel awareness on climate change and prove that when the people of the world work together, they can make a difference in the fight against global warming.

Earth Hour will take place throughout the Philippines from 8 to 9 in the evening on Saturday, 29 March 2008. WWF invites you to participate by shutting off lights for 60 minutes, organizing your own "lights-out" event or by forwarding this mail to your friends, workmates and family.

Launched in Australia on the 31st of March 2007, Earth Hour moved 2.2 million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney to turn off their lights for one hour. This massive collective effort reduced the city's energy consumption by 10.2% for one hour. With Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House turning their lights off and unique events such as weddings by candlelight, the world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions of Sydneysiders, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

YOUR participation will go a long way in spreading the message that we, as individual droplets working collectively can create an impetus far more powerful than the mightiest of rivers. For more information, log on to the WWF Earth Hour page at: www.earthhour.org.

Dear _____________:

Greetings!

I am an instructor of Speech Communication at the University of the Philippines Baguio and a student of MA Speech Communication in the University of the Philippines Diliman. I am currently doing my thesis entitled “The Igorot in the World Wide Web: Exploring the Igorot Ethnic Identity through the Communicative Act of Blogging” which aims to explore blogs as a medium that enables Igorot bloggers to communicate their ethnic identity.

It is in this regard that I would like to request you to be a respondent for my study through a videotaped interview and as a participant in a Focused Group Discussion (FGD). I would like to discuss relevant information related to your blogs that will serve as pertinent data for my study. Your opinions will greatly help in answering the study’s research questions.

I am willing to schedule a videotaped interview at your convenience anytime from April 1-10, 2008.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at 0906-580-6669 or steph_rabia@yahoo.com to confirm your interview schedule or for further inquiries.

I look forward to your involvement in this scholastic activity.

Thank you very much!

Respectfully yours,


Stephanie Luanne San Agustin Rabia
