I just came from an interesting visit tonight, July 27, 2013, of the Greenpeace ship "Esperanza"---the name comes from the Spanish word for "hope". Fascinating, educational, very interesting!
Tomorrow Sunday, July 28, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. in the morning to 3 p.m. in the afternoon, this ship Esperanza is open to the public to visit. It is docked at Pier 15, which is just nearest the back of the Manila Hotel, Manila City, the Philippines.

I encourage everyone interested in oceans, seas, the environment or ships in general to visit this former Russian fire-fighting vessel during its last day.
It sailed here from Dumaguete port to Sorsogon province in Bicol and then now to Manila Bay in its mission to campaign for protecting our oceans against three major threats of---climate change, overfishing and pollution.

The documentation of the reef check in Apo Island is part of the activities around the visit of the Greenpeace ship "Esperanza" which is now in Manila Bay, the Philippines.
Greenpeace is an international environmental organization which does not accept donations or financial help from businessses or governments, just small donations from over three million supporters worldwide and international volunteers.

Among the Philippine leaders and celebrities who have expressed support for Greenpeace and its ship "Esperanza" on its visit to the Philippines include Senator Loren Legarda, presidential adviser on the environment Neric Acosta, actor Cesar Montano and Parokya ni Edgar band member Buhawi Meneses.
I personally met the talented Meneses and his wife tonight during a tour of the ship by a young female German volunteer of Greenpeace along with their other volunteers.
