Save Our Mother Earth Now Concert

The Asia Pacific Indigenous Youth Network (APIYN) and the Philosophical Association of Northern Luzon (PANL) have come together and gave an audio-visual concert that aims to educate young and old about the alarming environmental situation humankind is facing, the grave threat of climate change and global warming to all life on earth. It also aims to educate about the cultural identity, diversity issues confronting indigenous youth.

Presented last September 20, 2009 at the Baguio Convention Center, Baguio City, the concert program brilliantly interweaved lights and sounds and the viewers on a journey that encompassed indigenous people, the environment, and other soci0-cultural issues. With stunning visual animation, backed by the best environment-advocate musicians in town, viewers enjoyed the breathtaking storytelling done by combining the old concert mechanincs with new flash animation technology. Not only that the concert provided additional awareness to environmental issues but also marked a memorable aesthetic experience.

All hope is not lost for our Mother Earth. Thank you for helping us saving our only home, our planet.
