Bong Pascasio of Grin Department needs our help
Love it or hate it but 90's babies can't deny the fact that this double meaning song lyrics was just too tempting not to be chanted especially during drinking sessions with friends.
It's from one of the many catchy songs by Grin Department, a band who out of no where conquered the airwaves and walkmans some 20 years ago. Iskin, Iniwan. Syota ng Bayan, Di ko alam... the list goes on. Now, I feel like doing a GD marathon.
Now here's the thing, I saw in Facebook a plea from Gege Pascacio, daughter of Bong who was the lead vocal of the band. Currently, Bong is confined at the Sta. Ana Hospital in Manila due to Chronic Abdominal Decease and needs to go through a surgery anytime soon.
His family is at their lowest nowadays since their house in Sta. Mesa was burned into ashes after a big fire hit their area recently. They were not able to save anything and are in deep financial problem.
Anyone can help by either donating type AB blood or Php 1,500 for each of the eight (8) blood bags that Bong needs. I'm pretty sure they need more help than this since after the operation, medications will still be required for Bong.
I hope his friends from the music industry can read this post. If you think you can help the Pascasio family, you can reach Aling Sylvia, Bong's mother at tel. no. 0946-8837508.
I hope Bong can overcome this trial and will be given another chance to showcase his talent. I want to hear him sing again this lyrics from his song Barkada:
"...ang kalokohan ay di mawawala
hindi na dapat pinag iisipan pa
lahat tayo ay dapat magsaya!"

Earth Hour 2012: I Will If You WIll campaign
The ‘I Will If You Will’ campaign empowers people to share a personal dare with the world by asking everyone what are you willing to do to save the planet?
The concept of ‘I Will If You Will’ centers
around providing a social contract between two parties – connecting one
person, business or organization to a ‘promise’ and their friends,
family, customers or members to a ‘challenge’ – uniting them behind the
common goal of creating a positive environmental outcome.
WWF-Philippines encourages you to share
your ‘I Will If You Will’ dare publicly through social media. Post it on
Facebook, upload it on Youtube, tag your friends on Twitter! Friends
can be invited to participate and accept each challenge using these
popular social networks.
The simple promise can range from
recycling, to switching to energy-efficient light bulbs, turning off
your mobile charger, or vowing to go paperless.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN ‘I WILL IF YOU WILL’ STATEMENT
Have your own ‘I Will If You Will’ statement through the following simple steps:
1. Come up with your own ‘I Will If You Will’ challenge! For example: “I will bike to work everyday instead of taking my car if you will pledge to live green and like the WWF-Philippines page!”
2. Download TEMPLATE 1 and edit it on Photoshop. Type your ‘I Will If You Will’ challenge.
3. Save the file in .JPEG format.
4. Post it on your Facebook page and on the WWF-Philippines Facebook page! Tag your friends and ask them to come up with their own ‘I Will If You Will’ statements too!
Don’t have Photoshop? Not a problem!
1. Download TEMPLATE 2 and open it on Microsoft Powerpoint. You can also download TEMPLATE 3 and open it on Microsoft Paint. Edit and type your own ‘I Will If You Will’ challenge.
2. Save the slide as a .JPEG file.
