EARTH HOUR. During the observance of the Earth Hour last Saturday many houses of the rich and poor in some barangays of the city were well-lighted on the supposed switch-off hour from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. Two mediamen who made separate surveys said “many did not understand why they must switch off their lights.”
WELL PUBLICIZED BUT... The two mediamen said the Earth Hour was well “advertised” by some business firms but people they interviewed said there was no explanation why the lights must be switched off. “Bitaw, Sir, daghan gyud nangutana nganong pagngon man nila ilang suga gikan 8:30 hangtod 9:30 p.m.,” one mediaman said.
