Petition against pesticide spraying in the Southern Philippines
Posted August 2nd, 2008 by anthonyNina at ForwardPilipinas.org sent this message about the effects of pesticide spraying in the Southern Philippines. We can support the ban by signing the online petition at www.dirtybananas.org.
Communities (around 40,000 people) living within banana plantations in Davao, Mindanao, Southern Philippines have been subjected to regular aerial spraying of pesticides for years, suffering from acute effects such as skin rashes, nausea and stomach cramps. In February, after an imaginative well-coordinated campaign, the City Government of Davao passed an ordinance to ban aerial spraying of pesticides.

Watch 'Between Two Cultures' online
Posted May 17th, 2008 by anthonyThe BBC's 'Meet the Immigrants' episode featuring Filipino domestic workers seemed to generate lots if interest. I thought it would be a good time to follow it up buy uploading 'Between Two Cultures', a short video documentary filmed by two members of Phil-UK back in 2000.
It's a 12 minute video documentary about two Filipinas: a student who grew up in the UK, and a nanny working to support her family in the Philippines.
For more information, and to watch the video, head to the Between Two Cultures page.
