People should see how much love and peace there is to take in than the dirty piece of hatred wanting to ruin the life that Jesus has designed for us. Love can't feed us, yeah. but passion makes us do beautiful things with beautiful results. When everything else may seem to crumble, there is always, and always, something wonderful that is in store for us. Funny how the things we are not able to understand when we follow His will, turn out to be the most fascinating spin that life has to offer!
In Aloguinsan, fishermen are given an alternative livelihood when there are no fishes to catch or the waves be too strong. Bojo River offers ecotourism where fishermen not only shows off the beauty of their local place, but also educating tourists how environment should be preserved and protected. Many species of mangrove which have grown in this riverbank have housed several species of water animals which helps maintain the livelihood for the people and a maintain a healthy marine ecosystem. Their roots are of great help to prevent erosion during heavy rains and other parts of it have different uses to offer. What is important in ecotourism is that the beauty of nature should be preserved and for the people to appreciate its wonder and raise awareness about environmental protection.
"This is the only earth we have. we can only protect it when we develop a relationship with it." Truth be said, Mayor Cynthia Moreno is very passionate in empowering the communities involved by reaching out to sustain the needs of this tourism activity which in turn helps the members of the community improve their state in life and promote ecotourism activity. What makes her exceptional is that she sustains the needs of the community first before the interest of the capitalists. Or maybe politics has had too many scandals aired in the media but not really the improvements they have made? Maybe there are just too many critics and a little too few of praisers for the benefit of what is good?
Constructive criticisms are always important, yeah. But nowadays, too few good things are being broadcasted. As for Ate Marivic, my tourguide in the little banca, the Bojo Aloguinsan Ecotourism Association, an LGU supported people's organization, has truly helped her sustain the daily needs of her family especially that her husband has already passed away because of an accident. Beautiful stories should be told more often, such as the lives that every activity has touched.
Did I say too much? I actually just wanted to say how breathtaking the love of the Lord can be!! :)
