BusinessWorld Student Forum

lot's of insights are given in my first BusinessWorld Student Forum entitled, Philippine Agenda 2010: The Millennium Development Goals held at De La Salle University. thank you for the participation of UN MDG campaign supported by NEDA and YouthVote Philippines. this is so much in-line with the election fever going on here in the country.

Ms. Dulce Saret from the UN Millenium Development Campaign gave everyone an overview on the Millennium Development Goals namely, 1. Eradicate Extreme Hunger and Poverty, 2. Universal Education, 3. Gender Equality, 4. Child Health, 5. Improve Maternal Health, 6. Combact HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other sicknesses, 7. Environmental Sustainability and 8. Global Partnership; how it was formulated, the concerns, the programs and the reasons behind of developing it.

Mr. Ramon Falcon of NEDA provided data on Philippine Development as regards to the MDG campaign. it's sad to see that by our MDG deadline on 2010, we still have a long way to do such projects that will help eradicate poverty.

Mr. Jaime Garchitorena of YouthVote Philippines inspired us to VOTE for OURSELVES. though candidates are laying in their programs against poverty, he instilled in our minds that we should have keen eyes to see if these candidates will surely do their parts after being elected.

the end of the campaign will be on 2015. there are ongoing programs in order to achieve the 8 Millennium Development Goals. but on May 10 2010, Filipinos should do their part in order to choose the right person.

RED LEAVES FALLING premiered worldwide

UNICEF and Stairway Foundation premieres the animation Red Leaves Falling at Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium on June 2 2009. this is in line with the campaign against child pornography and trafficking with the aim to push the Bill against the social cancer that goes nationwide and even worldwide.

child pornography and trafficking has been around due to the extreme poverty and due to the advancement in technology, it has become global and unstoppable. but with the continuing efforts of organizations like Stairway Foundation and co-advocates, the passing of the Bill would be a great help and children's lives will be saved.

Red Leaves Falling is just one of the fictions in the compilation “Black Angels, Street Children Realities” written by Monica D. Ray, an advocate against child pornography. she has used the animation tool to deliver the message and educate the ones who are able to see it. as they said, spreading the word can be of great help to stop this problem. without breaking the silence, the social cancer will grow even greater with the ignorance of those who engage to it.

technology has made a great contribution to any sexual activity especially child exploitation. and with every click of the mouse, it means that there is a great demand for it worldwide. the more alarming aspect to that there is no legal action that will stop this. and predators are gaining more of it.
