Hi all,

Did you know that the Philippines' coconut geotextile (a.k.a. 'coco - net') 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 shown enteprise and innovation at a grass roots level. It's all about "making a difference" in communities.

A documentary about Philippine Coconut geotextile or the 'coco-net' industry will be shown on the BBC World 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 tremendous exposure and publicity to our flourishing Philippine coconut geotextile industry and to our Philippine coconut fiber exporters. But wouldn't it be great if we could just win this damn thing?!

To vote, please open www.theworldchallenge.co.uk , click "Click Here" on the right side of the label "VOTE NOW", click the "COCONETS" picture of the brown coconut shells... Well, you know what to do. Just follow the basic instructions and make sure to click on our entry. It's 1 person - 1 vote so please help spread the word.

So don't forget:

1. Vote for COCONETS (Philippine entry)

and

2. Forward this campaign to as many people as you can.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
