THE STORY BEHIND THE COVER Photographer: Camille Robiou du Pont

38.000 ISLANDS Siargao has been awarded as the best island in Asia by the Conde Nast Traveler Magazine Did you know in Asia there are approximately 38,000 islands? Yes, you read right. 38,000 islands. So how can Siargao be chosen as the “best” or “most beautiful”? Are we talking about its landscapes? Maybe its sunrises? About its people? Siargao may or may not be the most appealing island in the entire continent, nonetheless no one can deny that Siargao is unique. By the time you set foot on this island there is a vibe that gets hold of you and never lets you go. Truth is that many have come for a few days, those have become months and then magically turned into years. For each one of us it feels different. However, it is real, it exists.

Siargao is now on the wish list of millions of people around the world anxious to visit the island and see why it is the “best”. It is time to stop and think wisely. Reaching the top means one thing: there are only two possible paths now; either to follow a sustainable way of development or irresponsibly reproduce our past mistakes. As one of our collaborators, Gai Olivares, wrote last month: “We have to understand why people travel”. Visitors are looking for wild and pristine sceneries that they can not find home. Preserving nature is the answer.

Every week, SEA Patrols from SEA Movement are going around beaches and streets of General Luna, contributing to the trash overload by picking up as much garbage as they can. It is a great way to inspire the needed responsibility for future generations. We chose this lively shot this month because the single use plastic ban is finally effective this month in Catangnan before being fully enforced in all General Luna by the 1st of January 2019!

SECOND ROUND The 16th Lanuza Surfing Festival and second leg of the Philippine Surfing Championship Tour (PSCT), will be held in Lanuza, Surigao del Sur from the 18th to the 24th of November. After the world famous Cloud 9, the riders will now compete on Doot Poktoy spot, named after the river its waters sits on. It is one of the longest right-hander waves in the country.

Unlike Siargao Cup who had only two, this second part of the tour has five categories: Men’s Shortboard Open, Women’s Shortboard Open, Men’s Longboard Open, Women’s Longboard Open and Juniors and the number of participants is unlimited. All eyes will be on the surfers who have lead the tournament since the beginning and the actual top 3 on the ranking of Men’s Open Shortboard: Marama Tokong with 300 points, followed by Piso Alcala with 250 points, and Philmar Alipayo and Neil Sanchez each on the third place with 175. These four stand as the greatest surfers in the country. Philmar Alipayo, who made it to semifinals last year in Lanuza, explains his commitment for this leg: “I have been working out everyday and eating healthy, to cut down weight to have a better performance in a beach break”, he reveals. Piso Alcala has also trained hard. “I have no expectations, I want to stay quiet and focused” says the surfer. The Top 3 of Juniors is: Benjomar Canon with 300 points, Gabriel Lerog with 250 and in third position are Noah Arkfield 4# and Marino Fuguron with

175 points each. For the other categories there is no ranking yet, as Lanuza will be the first time for Longboard and Women categories. Doot Poktoy spot is very different from Cloud 9. To start, it is a beach break but if there is a good swell many barrels can pop out of the Pacific. This wave is less powerful than Cloud 9 but on the other side, it offer long rides, allowing the surfers to express their technical skills with more tricks. A total prize of 400.000 pesos will be awarded to the future winners. Get ready to enjoy the second leg of the Philippine Surfing Championship Tour! Once more, we will enjoy a full week of emotions and nerves.

IKA-DUHANG RONDA Ang ika-16 nga Surfing Festival sa Lanuza ug ang ika-duhang bahin sa Philippine Surfing Championship Tour (PSCT), ipahigayon sa Lanuza, Surigao del Sur gikan sa petsa 18 hangtod sa 24 sa Nobyembre. Human sa inila sa kalibotan nga Cloud 9, ang mga manulaay magkompetensya karon didto sa Doot Poktoy, gipangalan gikan sa sapa nga giagian sa tubig niini. Usa kini sa labing taas nga patuo nga mga balud sa nasod. Dili sama sa Siargao Cup nga aduna lamay duha, kini nga ika-duhang bahin sa tour adunay lima ka mga kategorya: Shortboard Open sa mga Lalake, Shortboard Open sa mga Babaye, Longboard Open sa mga Lalake, Longboard Open sa mga Babaye ug Juniors ug ang gidaghanon sa mga mosalmot walay kinutoban. Ang tanan nga mga mata magsud-ong sa mga surfer nga nanguna sa toneyo gikan pa sa sinugdan ug ang mga tulo nga labing ibabaw sa paghan-ay sa Open Shortboard sa mga Lalake: Si Marama Tokong nga may 300 ka puntos, sinundan ni Piso Alcala nga may 250 ka puntos, ug silang Philmar Alipayo ug Neil Sanchez nga kada usa may 175 ka puntos sa ika-tulo nga pwesto. Kini silang upat nagbarog isip ang mga labing maayo nga mga surfer dinhi sa Nasod. Si Philmar Alipayo, kinsa nakaabot sa semifinals sa miaging tuig sa Lanuza, mipasabot sa iyang pasalig niini nga bahin sa torneyo: “Kada adlaw ako nagpasingot ug nagkaon ako og mahimsog, para makuhaan ang timbang

para mas maayo ang pasundayag sa beach break”, gipahayag niya. Si Piso Alcala nagbansay-bansay usab pagayo. “Walay koy gidahom, ganahan ko maghilom ug magpokus” giingon sa surfer.

KADA ADLAW AKO NAGPASINGOT UG NAGKAON AKO OG MAHIMSOG Ang tulo nga labing ibabaw sa Juniors mao silang: Benjomar Canon nga may 300 ka puntos, Gabriel Lerog nga may 250 ka puntos ug sa ika-tulo mao silang

Noah Arkfield ug Marino Fuguron nga may 175 ka puntos kada usa. Para sa uban nga mga kategoriya wala pay pagkahan-ay, kay ang Lanuza mao ang unang higayon para sa Longboard ug kategoriya sa mga Babaye. Ang Doot Poktoy lahi kaayo sa Cloud 9. Una, beach break kini pero kon adunay nindot nga swell daghang mga barrel ang mogawas gikan sa Pasipiko. Mas hinay kini nga balod kaysa Cloud 9 pero sa lain nga bahin, naghatag kini og mas tag-as nga mga ride, nga makatugot sa mga surfer nga makapagawas sa ilang teknikal nga kahanas ug daghan pang mga trick. Ang total nga premyo nga 400,000 peso iganti sa umaabot nga mga mananaog. Pag-andam na para malingaw sa ika-duhang bahin sa Philippine Surfing Championship Tour! Sa maka-usa pa, malingaw kita og usa ka tibuok semana sa mga emosyon ug kaisog.

TREASURE HUNT

Photographer Olga Garcia

From Levi’s to Armani, Victoria’s Secret to Calvin Klein, signature items or not, going to an ukay ukay feels like a treasure hunt. Ukay-ukays are second hand markets, known also as segunda mano during the Spanish occupation. In Filipino, its name from the word halukay, which means to dig or to look for something. Among locals it is also named as ukay-ukay.

fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world, right after the oil industry. Recycling preloved clothes helps decrease textile production, helping the environment, and possibly reducing child labor and underpaid labor.

In 1980, the Salvation Army, a Christian group, sent to the Philippines humanitarian aid for the victims of calamities. It was all stocked in Baguio City, the old summer retreat of the Spaniards. Even today, you can still find in Baguio the biggest ukay-ukay in the country. From there, it spreaded all over the country, until every barangay had its own.

Britt Lette from Gather The Label is very conscious about the situation. She founded this brand with the aim to help the uncontrolled production of clothes. Britt buys second hand, fix the pieces and resells them. “I used to shop with the goal of getting more

The origin of these clothes are several and some remain unknown. They mainly come from China, Korea, United States and Europe. Some are from old stocks of factories, some are donated, but for a majority of it, nobody really knows. Today, buying second hand clothes is not positively considered enough as many believe it is poor and dirty. On the other side, buying in ukay-ukay is in fact a way to help our planet, as

items for my money, even if the quality was not good. Fashion has become another consumable and disposable product” says Britt. As nearly everything in our consumer society, items are design to have a short lifespan in order to never durably satisfy consumer and keep demand high. In fact, only 10% of the clothes we buy end up in thrift shops, the rest ends up in landfills of developing countries.

Be local # INTERVIEW Jennifer Jimenez My inspiration to write this article comes from a good friend of mine, Jennifer Jimenez. By the way she looks, you may not think her clothes are second hand, but in reality she is truly the ukay-ukay queen. Since she moved in the island she strolls once a week in these markets and she always comes back with a bag full of unique treasures. YOU CAN FIND THESE MARKETS AT: - the entrance of General Luna, - at the Boulevard, - in Dapa Boulevard - in other municipalities of Siargao

WHEN DID YOUR “OBSESSION” FOR PRELOVED CLOTHES STARTED? Once, I visited Paris and I discovered for the first time what they call ‘’friperies” (french name of ukay-ukay) but it was still very expensive. I then moved to Australia and I was shocked by the things that Aussies give away. They throw away items that have very little damage and to their mind they are not worth it anymore. In the Philippines, I found the biggest and cheapest markets and at the same time, the messiest ones. You have to be very patient to find out what are you looking for. HOW MUCH DO YOU SPEND AVERAGE? The maximum I like to spend is PHP 50, unless they are very worth it. But my favorite section is the PHP 5. I have found incredible pieces at this price. A mandatory rule for buying in ukayukay is to clean after purchasing: boil and disinfect the pieces with bleach. Normally, the clothes have a lot of stains that are hard to clean. I repair them, add missing buttons and sew. And voilà they are like new!

WHAT ARE YOUR BEST DUG UP TREASURES? A linen vintage dress made in Paris and a purse from MCM, from Germany. An original piece that costs PHP 18,000 and I bought it for PHP 250. WHAT BRANDS HAVE YOU FOUND IN UKAY-UKAY? Gap, a lot of Victoria’s Secret- I found a pure silk dress-, Levi’s, Uniklo, Zara and many Korean brands. Her trick is to make a pile in one side, and then start passing through all of them until she finds the texture she likes. “I always buy linen clothes as it is a biodegradable material and fresh for the tropics”, explains Jennifer. She has found pieces not only for her, but for her boyfriend, baby nephew, mum and sisters. Not only personal clothes, you can also find home decoration such as carpets, pillows, curtains and more. On an island with a huge lack of shops, ukay-ukay is one of the best option to go on a Saturday shopping. Now you know where to find the best treasures for a ridiculous price.

PAGPANGITA OG BAHANDI Gikan sa Levi’s ngadto sa Armani, Victoria’s Secret ngadto sa Calvin Klein, aduna may marka o wala, ang pag-adto sa ukay ukay mora og pagpangita’g bahandi. Ang ukay-ukay mga segunda mano nga baligya, nailhan kini niadtong panahon sa mga Katsila. Sa Pilipino, gikan ang ngalan niini sa pulong nga halukay, nga nagpasabot ukayon o pangitaon. Sa mga lokal gitawag usab kini nga ukay-ukay. Niadtong tuig 1980, ang Salvation Army, usa ka Kristiyano nga grupo, mipadala sa Pilipinas og tabang pangkatawhan alang sa mga biktima sa kalamidad. Natapok kadto tanan sa Syudad sa Bagyo, ang karaan nga pahulayanan sa ting-init sa mga Katsila dinhi sa Nasod. Gikan didto mikaylap kini sa tibuok nasod, hangtod nga kada barangay aduna nay kaugalingon nga mga tindahan. Daghan ang gigikan niini nga mga sanina ug ang uban wala mahibal-an. Sagad gikan sa Tsina, Korea, Estados Unidos ug Uropa. Ang uban kay karaan nga sobra sa mga pabrika, adunay gidonar, adunay gikan sa mga mitaliwan na, apan ang kadaghanan wala gayod mahibal-i.

Karong panahona, ang pagpalit og mga segunda mano nga sinina wala gitan-aw nga maayo kay daghan ang nagtuo nga bati kini ug hugaw. Apan sa laing bahin, ang pagpalit og ukayukay usa ka hinuon ka pamaagi nga makatabang sa atong planeta, kay ang industriya sa uso mao ang ika-duhang labing makahuhugaw nga industriya sa kalibotan, sunod sa industriya sa lana. ang pagresiklo og og mga ginamit nga sinina makatabang sa pagpaubos sa paggama og panapton, nga makatabang sa kinaiyahan, ug posible usab nga makapaubos sa pamuo gamit kabataan ug pamuo nga ubos og sweldo. Si Britt Lette gikan sa Gather the Label mabinantayon gayod sa sitwasyon. Gihimo niya kini nga marka aron makatabang sa walay pugong nga paggama og sinina. Si Britt mopalit og mga segunda mano, iya kining ayohon ug ibaligya pagusab. “Kaniadto mamalit ako nga may tumong nga makakuha og daghang

butang sa akong kwarta, bisan pa og dili maayo ang kalidad. Ang uso nahimong lain nga makonsumo ug malabay nga produkto” matod ni Britt. As nearly everything in our consumer society, items are design to have a short lifespan in order to never durably satisfy consumer and keep demand high. In fact, only 10% of the clothes we buy end up in thrift shops, the rest ends up in landfills of developing countries. Sama sa tanang butang sa atong sosyedad nga nagkonsumo, ang mga butang gidisenyo para aduna lamay mubo nga kadugayon para dili gayod matagbaw nga malungtaron ang mga konsomidor ug magpabilin ang taas nga panginahanglan. Sa tinuod, 10% lang gani sa mga sinina nga atong gipalit ang maabot sa mga tindahan nga baratohon, ang nahabilin maadto sa mga landfill sa mga naglambo nga mga nasod.

Be local # INTERVIEW Jennifer Jimenez Ang akong inspirasyon sa pagsulat niini nga artikulo gikan sa akong suod nga higala, si Jennifer Jimenez. Sa iyang itsura, dili ka maghunahuna nga ang iyang mga sinina segunda mano, pero sa tinuod lang siya gayod ang rayna sa ukay-ukay. Gikan sa iyang pagbalhin sa isla, mosuroy siya kausa kada semana niini nga mga merkado ug permi siya mobalik nga may bag puno sa walay sama nga mga bahandi.

MAKIT-AN KINI NIMO NGA MGA TINDAHAN INIG DAYON: - sulod sa General Luna, - sa Boulevard, - sa Boulevard sa Dapa - u ban nga mga munisipalidad sa Siargao

KANUS-A NAGSUGOD ANG IMONG “OBSESYON” SA GINAMIT NGA MGA SININA?

UNSA ANG IMON LABING NINDOT NGA MGA BAHANDING NAKIT-AN?

Ka-usa, mibisita ko sa Paris ug nakitan nako sa unang higayon ang ilang gitawag nga mga “friperie” (prinanses sa ukay-ukay) pero mahal gihapon kaayo. Mibalhin dayon ko sa Australia ug nakugang ko sa mga butang nga ipanghatag lamang sa mga Aussie. Ipanglabay nila ang mga butang nga gamay lamang og daot ug sa ilang hunahuna wala na kadtoy bili. Sa Pilipinas, nakit-an nako ang labing dagko ug barato nga mga merkado nga sa samang higayon, ang labing gubot. Kinahanglan taas gayod imong pasensya para makit-an nimo imong gipangita.

Usa ka karaan nga bistido nga linen nga hinimo sa Paris ug usa ka pitaka sa MCM, gikan sa Germany. Usa ka orihinal nga butang nga nagbalor og PHP 18,000 ug gipalit lamang nako og PHP 250.

PILA ANG SAGAD NIMO MAGASTO? Ang labing dako nako nga gusto gastohon kay PHP 50 lamang, gawas kon bililhon na gayod kaayo. Pero ang akong paborito nga bahin mao ang tag PHP 5. Nakakita ko’g mga dili katuohan nga mga butang niini nga presyo. Usa ka gikinahanglan nga lagda sa pagpalit og ukay-ukay kay limpyohan human nga makapalit: pabukalan ug disimpekta ang mga butang gamit ang kloroks. Sagad, ang mga sinina adunay daghang mga mantsa ug lisod limpyohan. Ako silang ayohon, pun-an og kulang nga butones ug tahion. Unya dayon mora na sila og bag-o!

UNSA NGA MGA MARKA ANG NAKIT-AN NIMO SA UKAY-UKAY? Gap, daghan nga mga Victoria’s Secret- nakakita ko og puro sida nga bestido-, Levi’s, Uniqlo, Zara ug daghang marka nga Koreano. Ang iyang pamaagi maghimo og tapok sa usa ka bahin, ug dayon magsugod og tan-aw sa kada usa nila hangtod nga makit-an niya ang tekstura nga iyang gusto.”Kanunay ko mopalit og sinina nga linen kay madugta man kini nga materyal ug hayahay usab sa tropiko”, gipasabot ni Jennifer. Nakakita siya og mga piraso dili lamang para niya, pero para usab sa iyang uyab, bata nga pag-umangkon, inahan ug mga igsuon babaye. Dili lamang mga sinina, makakita usab ka og mga dekorasyon sa balay sama sa alpombra, unlan, kurtina ug uban pa. Sa usa ka isla nga adunay kakulang sa mga tindahan, ang ukay-ukay ang labing maayo nga kapilian sa pagpamalit inig Sabado. Karon nahibalo na ka diin makakita sa labing maayo nga mga bahandi sa katawanan nga presyo.

THE ART OF KRAV MAGA Last October, Dindo de Jesus, the highest ranking Krav Maga practitioner in Far East Asia, came to the island to conduct a training for the General Luna police force. Krav Maga is a self-defense system that originated in Israel, and is widely considered as the most ‘effective self-defense’ system today. Unlike other martial arts, Krav Maga has no rules. A key principle is finishing a fight as quickly as possible. It’s about learning to respond and act quick with minimal movements whether it is defending against a knife,

disarming a gun or just blocking different kinds of strikes.

learned some simple but very useful tricks to put in practice in the streets.

The training was organized by Mike Medina, owner of SOS Gym, and Abe Navarro, President of STOA (who is also a G3 IKMF Krav Maga instructor). Roughly 15 officers, between the ages of 21 and 28, participated on the training.

“We have always had plans of SOS being a community-oriented gym, just like the other organization we are involved with: Harana, SEA Movement, Grom Nation, Nature Kids…” explains Mike. Abe Navarro has been training with Dindo de Jesus since 2009. “This relationship has opened up a lot of opportunities for us on how we could do our part for the bettering of the community”, concludes Mike.

“In general, new police officers in the Philippines have a very basic level of self defense training. This training would usually be based on traditional martial arts.” explains Navarro. The police

KRAV MAGA ALANG SA KAPULISAN Sa miaging Oktubre, si Dindo de Jesus nga mao ang labing taas nga managbansay og Krav Maga sa Halayo nga Sidlakang Asya mianhi sa isla para magpahigayon og pagbansay-bansay alang sa mga Kapulisan sa General Luna. Ang Krav Maga usa ka sistema sa pagpanalipod sa kaugalingon nga gikan sa Israel, giisip kini nga mao ang labing epektibo nga sistema sa pagpanalipod karong panahona. Dili sama sa uban nga martial arts, ang Krav Maga walay mga lagda. Usa ka basehan nga prinsipyo mao ang paghuman sa away sa kinapaspasan nga mahimo. Magkat-on sa pagresponde ug pag-akto nga paspas sa kinagamyan nga paglihok maskin batok sa kutsilyo, pagdis-armar og pusil o bisan pagsagang og lain-lain nga mga pag-igo.

Mokabat og 15 ka mga pulis nga nagpang-edaron og 21 hangtod 28 anyos ang misalmot sa pagbansay-bansay. “Kasagaran ang mga bag-ong kapulisan sa Pilipinas adunay yano kaayo nibel sa pagbansay sa pagpanalipod sa kaugalingon. Kini nga pagbansay-bansay sagad nakabase sa tradisyonal nga martial arts” gipasabot ni Navarro. Ang kapulisan nakat-on og mga yano pero mapuslanon kaayo nga mga trick para magamit sa kadalanan.

“Kanunay kami nga may plano sa SOS nga mamahimong gym alang sa katilingban, sama sa uban nga mga organisasyon nga gikalabotan namo: Harana, SEA Movement, Grom Nation, Nature Kids…” gipasabot ni Mike. Si Abe Navarro nagbansay-bansay na uban ni Dindo de Jesus gikan pa niadtong 2009. “Kini nga relasyon naka-abli og daghang oportunidad alang kanamo kon unsaon namo pagbuhat sa among bahin sa pagpalambo sa katilingban”, mipatapos si Mike.

SURFKITESCHOOL

WHY PADDLE WHEN YOU CAN FLY? All surfers can relate: this onshore wind messing up the waves has ruined too many sessions. Meanwhile, you can play cards, drink coffee, chill at home or go out kitesurfing. Kitesurfing is nothing more than wakeboarding powered by the wind. If you’ve tried wakeboarding at Siargao’s Wakepark, you know how easy it is: everybody stands up on their first session. While kitesurfing will not require as much strength as wakeboarding or surfing (you’re hooked to the harness, which means you don’t need to have that much strength in the arms), you will have to learn to fly the kite first, which is a child’s play. In Siargao, we have the chance here to be gifted with a wide crystal clear lagoon that’s waist-deep, making comfortable and easy to learn.

KITESURFING IS NOTHING MORE THAN WAKEBOARDING POWERED BY THE WIND

SO ONE MAY THINK: WHY HAVE PEOPLE BEEN RUSHING TO BORACAY FOR YEARS, INSTEAD OF SIARGAO? Hendrik, who has experience teaching in both locations for years, explains this with different reasons:. 1 “ The first and very obvious reason why kitesurfing was popular earlier in Boracay is due to tourism development and facilities. From 2005, the destination was already attractive enough for people who could afford expensive kitesurfing equipment and a plane ticket to fly from Singapore or Hongkong over the week-end. You just had to bring your equipment or rent it at one of the many kitesurfing schools. One of the beach boys would make everything ready for you on the beach, and voilà ready 14# to fly” explains the instructor.

2 “ Back in 2005, getting to Siargao was a much bigger hassle. No kite schools, nobody to watch over you when you’re in the water, and only a few basic homestays available. Due to its location, Boracay also has more consistent wind conditions than Siargao, which was increasing your chances of getting a good session if you were travelling for a short period of time” adds Hendrik.

owever, a lot has changed now. 3 H Big improvements were made in kitesurfing technologies (hydrofoils and ultra light kites), allowing kite surfers to ride with ridiculous amounts of wind as low as 8 knots (15km/h). “With a clean and under crowded lagoon, wakeboarding and surfing activities for dead-wind days, Siargao now has a potential that’s as interesting as Boracay. Kiteschools have opened and a small community with a good team spirit is growing”, concludes Hendrik.

# Be breezy WHERE TO MEET? Join us at Bravo Beach Resort in General Luna. Don't hesitate to meet our instructors and talk with them, they will be happy to share their passion with you.

Unlike surfing, there’s no fight for space or waves. Once you stand up, you’ll just be enjoying the view, crossing path with other kite surfers smiling back at you: they know the feeling. There’s a good community spirit in kitesurfing that has unfortunately been lost in overcrowded surfing spots. Even though kitesurfing remains a sport that’s difficult to afford due to the expensive equipment, Simon from SurfKiteSchool (in Bravo Beach Resort) explains that there might be changes in the coming years.

UNLIKE SURFING, THERE’S NO FIGHT FOR SPACE OR WAVES

“Kitesurfing development is still on the move. With the sport being introduced in the next Olympic Games in 2024 in France, we’re very likely to experience a democratization of kitesurfing. It’s hopefully something that will help kitesurfing brands to decrease their prices and reach a wider audience. Kitesurfing should be for everyone”, claims the kitesurf instructor.

If some riders are already kitesurfing, come to enjoy the show and observe their equipment, the landscape and our beautiful lagoon. Come and just dream about your next kitesurf session.

For watersports addicts, kitesurfing is an open door to creative riding. Hydrofoils, surfboards, boats, anything can be ridden as long as your kite is powered. The connections and improvements you will see with to other watersports are endless: learning layback turns in the waves for surfing, riding unhooked to have the sensations of wakeboarding, or standing up above water for the first time on a hydrofoil. Look for Simon in Bravo Resort and go out gliding the crytal clear lagoon.

A PLASTIC-FREE FUTURE The Local Government Unit (LGU) of General Luna had a public hearing last June to discuss the plastic regulation ordinance which was authored by Siargao Environmental Awareness Movement (SEA Movement) and Siargao Tourism Operators Association (STOA). The ordinance will ban all kinds of single-use plastic, that usually end up as a residual waste, in the municipality of General Luna.

It will be partially implemented starting the 6th of November before being fully enforced after this New Year’s Eve. From the 1st day of 2019, establishments, restaurants, shops and the market will no longer be allowed to give plastic bags, serve plastic straws or any kind of single-use plastic takeaway containers. Violators will undergo through penalties. The fines are the following: “first offense: PHP 500, second offense: PHP 1,000, third offense: PHP 2,500 and/or imprisonment of maximum 6 months” as written in the ordinance. SEA Movement will also be helping the implementation process, organising

“SEAM Squad” teams around every barangay to check the ordinance is being implemented in the right way. After so much struggle and many years of battle, it seems we are going towards a promising future for Siargao. General Luna is now the second municipality in Siargao implementing this ordinance after Pilar, the pioneer in the island against single-use plastic. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the LGU, SEA Movement and STOA for pushing towards a more responsible Siargao!

USA KA KAUGMAON NGA LIBRE SA PLASTIK Sa miaging Hunyo, ang Local Government Unit (LGU) sa General Luna mipahigayon og pampubliko nga tagbo-tagbo aron maghisgot mahitungod sa ordinansa sa regulasyon sa plastik nga sinulat sa Siargao Environmental Awareness Movement (SEA Movement) ug Siargao Tourism Operators Association (STOA). Usa ka ordinansa nga magbawal sa tanan klase sa plastik nga ka-usa gamiton, nga mamahimong mahabilin nga basura , sa munisipalidad sa General Luna. Niadtong ika-6 sa Nobyembre katipik kining gi-implementar sa dili pa hingpit nga ipatuman human sa Bisperas sa Bagong Tuig. Gikan sa unang adlaw sa 2019, ang mga establisemento, mga restoran, mga tindahan ug ang merkado dili na mamahimong mohatag og plastik nga bag, mosirbi og mga plastik nga estro o bisan unsang matang nga plastik nga ka-usa ra gamiton. Ang mga lumalapas moagi og mga multa. “Unang kalapasan PHP 500, ikaduhang kalapasan PHP 1,000, 16# ika-tulong kalapasan PHP

2,500 ug/o pagkabilanggo nga dili molabaw og 6 ka bulan” sumala sa nakasulat sa ordinansa. Ang SEA Movement motabang usab sa proseso sa pagpatuman, pinaagi sa pag-organisar og “SEAM Squad” teams sa matag barangay aron magbantay nga ang ordinansa gipatuman sa sakto nga pamaagi. Human sa daghan kaayong mga kalisdanan ug daghang katuigan sa pakigbatok, daw padulong na kita

sa usa ka mahayag nga kaugmaon sa Siargao. Ang General Luna mao karon ang ika-duha nga munisipalidad sa Siargao nga nagpatuman niini nga ordinansa human sa Pilar, nga mao ang nag-una sa sa isla batok sa plastik nga ka-usa gamiton. Salamat sa LGU, SEA Movement ug STOA sa pagduso alang sa usa ka mas responsable nga Siargao!

RINJANI: A LOMBOK EARTHQUAKE SURVIVOR’S STORY Trekking in the mountains is one of my favourite ways of escaping the bustle of modern life and reconnecting with nature. So, on a recent trip to Bali and Lombok, I decided to take on the notoriously challenging three-day trek to Mount Rinjani, the second highest volcano in Indonesia.

one of my friends a lot of pain. This decision would later on save our lives. The next day, 29th of July, at 6:47 in the morning, a magnitude-6.4 earthquake hit Lombok. The epicentre, Sembalun, was only a few miles from where we were in Mount Rinjani. Moments after the earthquake hit, the eerie silence as everyone looked on was broken by an ominous rumbling and sudden violent explosions. All we could do was watch as the mountains around us crumbled and disappeared in a huge cloud of dust.

“RUN!” OUR GUIDE TOLD US

“Run.” Our guide told us. There was mass hysteria in the area, people crying and praying, but we didn’t stay around as we followed the only command from our usually level-headed guide and ran for our lives. Upon arriving in the country, it had been clear that there was something ‘not quite right’ with nature. A few days into our trip, my three friends and I found ourselves stranded on Nusa Penida Island; all the boats had been cancelled due to a huge swell in the ocean. We eventually arrived at the base camp, which sat on the rim of the crater and boasted a magnificent view of the lake and its surrounding mountains. There was a lunar eclipse that night covering

the rare blood moon, and it had been the longest one we’ve had in over a century (an hour and a half versus the usual 10-15 minutes). Was this an omen to the disasters which were to follow? After watching the beautiful sunrise at the summit of the active volcano, we decided to stay in the base camp for a break from the trek. We had all been very tired and an old knee injury caused

We didn’t think we’d make it as we ran down what was supposedly a six-hour trek back to Senaru. The aftershocks began shortly after we scrambled downwards, with each aftershock causing more cracks to appear on the ground and louder explosions as landslides started wiping trees into the path. We acknowledged the unpredictability of nature, and could only pray that a bigger quake was not coming, or

We had to wait for some time for transport to pick us up. There were startlingly few people who followed behind us in the hours that we waited. We watched the devastation unveil around the area as we sat in the back of the truck: a number of villages flattened to the ground, houses turned to rubble and people forced to find shelter under tarpaulin tents. We later found out that out of 1200 people on the mountain, more than half remained trapped, as the landslides blocked the trails around the lake and on the other side of the crater. We realise how fortunate we had been in our decision to stay on the base camp that night. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning for Lombok. One week later there was an even bigger earthquake, measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale which killed more than 400 people, devastating much of the north of the island including

the popular Gili islands. Over a month after this first earthquake hit the island, there are still hundreds of thousands of residents living in refugee camps, where they are experiencing more aftershocks.

RINJANI: USA KA ISTORYA SA NAKALINGKAWAS SA LINOG SA LOMBOK Ang pagsaka og mga bukid usa sa akong paborito nga pamaagi sa pagpalayo sa kasamok sa modernong kinabuhi ug pagkonektar og balik sa kinaiyahan. Sa labing ulahi ko nga byahe sa Bali ug Lombok, midesider ako nga sakaon ang notadong lisod nga tulo ka adlaw nga baktas sa Bukid Rinjani, ang ika-duhang labing taas nga bulkan sa Indonesia. Pag-abot pa lang nako niadto nga nasod, klaro na nga adunay butang nga ‘dili kaayo sakto’ sa kinaiyahan. Pipila ka adlaw sa among byahe, nangatanggong kami sa akong tulo ka mga higala sa Isla sa Nusa Penida; ang tanang mga barko gipangkanselar tungod sa dagko nga mga balud sa kadagatan. Human naabot ra hinuon kami sa base camp, nga anaa sa tumoy-tumoy sa baba sa bulkan ug nanghambog kini og maanindot nga talan-awon sa danaw ug sa nakapalibot nga kabukiran. Aduna kadtoy iklipsi sa bulan niadtong gabhiona nga mitabon sa talagsaon nga dugoon nga bulan, ug kadto ang kinadugayan sulod sa usa ka siglo (usa ka oras ug tunga kompara sa sagad nga 10-15 minutos). Tilidmad-on ba kaha kadto sa mga katalagman nga mosunod? Human makatan-aw sa maanindot nga pagsubang sa adlaw didto sa taluktok sa aktibo nga bulkan, nakadesider kami nga magpabilin sa base camp para mopahulay gikan sa baktas. Gipangkapoy kaming tanan ug misakit ang daan nga daot sa tuhod sa usa nako ka higala. Kini nga desisyon maoy makaluwas unya sa among mga kinabuhi. Sa sunod adlaw, ika-29 sa Hulyo, sa alas 6:47 sa kabuntagon, usa ka linog nga may magnitude-6.4 ang miigo sa Lombok. Ang tunga-tunga, sa Sembalun, pipila lamang ka milya gikan sa among gikahimutangan sa Bukid Rinjani. Pipila ka gutlo human sa linog, ang makahahadlok nga kahilom sa pagtinan-away namong tanan nabuak sa makalilisang nga dahunog ug kalit nga bayolenteng mga pagbuto. Ang amo lamang nabuhat mao ang pagtanaw samtang ang kabukiran sa among palibot nadugmok og nawagtang sa dako nga 20# panganod sa abog.

“Dagan.” Ingon sa among giya. Nagkasalimuang ang tanan didto nga lugar, ang mga tawo minghilak ug nanag-ampo, pero wala kami magpabilin pa kay among gisunod ang nag-inusarang sugo sa among sagad kalmado nga giya ug mingdagan kami alang sa among mga kinabuhi. Wala kami magdahom nga makalingkawas kami samtang nagdagan panaog gikan sa unom ka oras lang unta nga baktas pabalik sa Senaru. Ang mga aftershock nagsugod dayon human kami nanagan panaog, ug ang matag aftershock mag-

abli og liki sa yuta ug mas kusog nga mga pagbuto samtang ang yuta midahili sa mga kahoy sa among agianan. Na-ila namo nga dili matagna ang kinaiyahan, ug nag-ampo lamang kami nga walay mas dako pa nga linog nga moabot, o bisan unta maabot kami sa luwas nga lugar sa dili pa kini mahitabo. Sa dihang naabot na gayod kami sa Senaru, mapasalamaton kami nga mipirma sa log book nga nagtala sa among pagnaog gikan sa bukid. Naghulat pa kami kadali para makuha sa mohatod sa amo. Makakurat nga pipila lang ka mga tawo ang misunod namo sa panahon nga naghulat kami. Nakita namo ang kadaot nga nahitabo sa lugar samtang naglingkod kami sa luyo sa trak: pipila ka mga baryo ang napatag, mga balay nga nangaguba ug mga tawo nga napugos pagpangita og kasilongan ilawom sa tolda nga trapal. Nahibal-an na lang dayon namo nga gikan sa 1,200 ka mga tawo sa bukid, lapas tunga ang nahibilin nga natanggong, samtang ang dahili sa yuta mibabag sa mga agianan sa palibot sa danaw ug sa pikas bahin sa baba sa bulkan. Nakaamgo kami unsa kami ka bulahan sa among desisyon nga magpabilin sa base camp niadtong gabhiona. Apan sa ka-alaot, sinugdanan pa lamang kini sa Lombok. Human sa usa ka semana adunay mas dako pa nga linog nga mitala og 6.9 sa Richter scale nga mipatay og labaw pa sa 400 ka mga tawo, midaot sa kadaghanan sa amihanan nga bahin sa isla lakip na ang inila nga mga isla sa Gili. Human ang usa ka bulan sa pag-igo sa una nga linog sa isla, aduna gihapoy gatosan ka libo nga mga residente nga nagpuyo sa mga bakwitanan, diin sila makasinati og mas daghan pa nga aftershocks. Kon ganahan ka motabang sa bisan unsa nga pamaagi, adunay daghan nga mga kampanya sa pagtampotampo ug mga serbisyo sa pag-alibyo sa katalagman nga nagkinahanglan og tabang. Usa niini mao ang All Hands and Hearts. Mas makahibalo ka mahitungod sa pag-donar o pagboluntaryo sa pagalibyo sa katalagman dinhi: www.allhandsandhearts.org/

# Be young ENGLISH

FUNDRAISING FOR A RESTROOM Did you know that school attendance in Northern Mindanao is only 42%? The town of Burgos has an obvious barrier to better school attendance - the school has no toilet. Can you imagine having to run into the jungle to answer the call of nature? Or having to run home? You would want to hope you are a very fast runner! But hereâ€™s another additional problem to itâ€Ś Kids get easily distracted when they leave school for a poo run. They go to the toilet, grab a snack, get side-tracked and accidently go surfing for a couple of hours.

Grom Nation wants to dump (pun intended) any barriers to attending school. The kids of Siargao deserve the best education and having no toilet access is an issue with a simple solution. Having a toilet at school is not a luxury, it is a basic human right and is essential for good health and human dignity.

# Be young Flushing away this problem is so easy, all we have to do is come together and build a toilet and handwashing station. Let’s inspire the island kids to get a ‘shreducation’ by staying at school. The construction of the toilet will begin in early 2019 but is dependent on funding. Therefore, we are relying on the support of our amazing community of expats, tourists, residents and locals to make this project happen. You can donate through PayPal to gromnationsiargao@gmail.com or drop (not going there) us a line to find out how you can help. We need your hard earned cash to start flushing as soon as possible. So keep it real and keep it regular! Cistern you later…
