Did you know that the Philippines' Coconut Geotextile ( a.k.a.
Coconet) for soil erosion control has been chosen as one of the 12
finalists in Newsweek and BBC's World Challenge? The World Challenge is basically a
competition/search designed at identifying groups or individuals all
over the world whose projects have contributed great impact at grass
roots level.
A documentary about the Philippine Coconut geotextile or Coconet
industry will be featured in BBC World on Saturday, September
17 around 8:30, 13:30 and 20:30 GMT and will also be featured in International
Newsweek Editions.
"The World Challenge" already offers tremendous exposure and
publicity to our flourishing Philippine coconut geotextile industry
and to our Philippine coconut fiber exporters. But it would be great
liberation for our country, which has been getting very bad publicity
nowadays, to win this prestigious competition.

coconet.
