Greenpeace-Turn the Tide for Climate Change

Umuulan sa Tag-Araw

“Umuulan sa Tag-araw” is a song about climate change composed by Noel
Cabangon and donated to environmental activist organization, Greenpeace, to
help in the advocacy of its Climate and Energy program.

The original recording, with Noel doing all the vocals, was released in 2008
by Greenpeace with an accompanying music video.

This latest recording, with various Greenpeace volunteer bands and
musicians, is being released to coincide with the visit of the Greenpeace
flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, to the Philippines on November 19-28, as the
last leg of its “Turn the Tide” tour of Southeast Asia, showcasing solutions
to the challenge of climate change.  The tour also coincides with the 10th
anniversary celebration of the regional Greenpeace Southeast Asia office,
which started in the Philippines.

A “Turn the Tide” concert will be held on November 27, during the Manila leg
of the ship tour, at the CCP grounds.  The song will be performed live by a
conglomeration of musicians from different bands.

Tearful farewell after North-South family reunions

Nov 1, 2010
SEOUL - MEMBERS of 97 Korean families separated by war six decades ago bade a final tearful farewell on Monday after a three-day reunion inside North Korea.

Elderly people touched their palms to those of family members on the other side of closed bus windows as they left Mount Kumgang, the South's Yonhap news agency reported from the east coast resort.

'I love you! I love you!' one South Korean woman shouted to a North Korean family member aboard a bus as it prepared to leave the reunion centre.

Cries of regret grew louder among some 430 South Korean family members as the buses pulled away, with some sitting on the ground and bursting into tears again, Yonhap reported.



Hundreds of thousands of Koreans were separated during the 1950-53 war, and the occasional reunions bring together only a fraction of those desperate for news of children, parents and brothers and sisters.

Since 2000, sporadic events have briefly reunited more than 17,000 people face-to-face and an estimated 3,700 - usually those too frail to travel - via video link. But some 80,000 people in the South alone are on the waiting list for reunions. Thousands die every year before getting their chance.
