Filipino people are intrinsically concerned of Mother Nature and in today’s generation where modernizations are being empowered in every country; there are still alliances of young blood who have not forgotten our direct link with nature. They have the awareness of the pain and suffering of planet earth just like a child who can sense the miseries of his mother. As a son or a daughter you don’t just watch your beloved mother in a miserable condition, you can not bear to hear her crying in anguish. You act to end the root cause of her agony. You will definitely think of ways to heal her wounded heart. Make her smile and let the glow of her eyes mirrors a genuine bliss. Kalikasan Southern Tagalog is aimed for proactive and progressive environmental protection efforts.
Art is a very effective tool to express one’s self more so, to reveal one’s heart and thoughts. It freed everyone and can definitely create a taste of liberation. This is the concept beyond the 2011 Earth Day Celebration of the Kalikasan Southern Tagalog coined as Kalikhasan 2011. It has been participated by earnest professors from the Department of Humanities, College of
Arts and Science and various organizations such as UP PHOTOS,
Infocus:Camera Guild, Forestry Society, AGHAM-YOUTH, ACHES, SAMAEKO,
Karma Kolektib, UP Jammers Club, Artists Arrest and other allied members of
the KALIKASAN-ST. It was also supported by the Center for Environmental
Concerns (CEC) and Integrated Development for Indigenous Peoples
(IDPIP). This activity is established to be a yearly celebration of love and life as a devotion to save the Earth and serve the People. It is an ongoing call for all to rediscover our higher purpose in life.
The Kalikhasan Festival has utilized different arts and media and assortment of
activities such as concert pointing out our role for stewardship, forum,
face painting, lantern lightning, mural painting and photo exhibits.
Our environment only mirrors our way of life. The degradation of our society or its progress is manifested by the way we treat each other in a humane or cruel way and this is applied to all living entities around us. Thank you for the enlightening vision of the Kalikasan Southern Tagalog for their inspirational artworks that served as lamps of hope for our Mother Earth.
