Green Marketing: Showcasing Recycled Plastic Bottles in a Green Way

Last August 13, 2014, Marketing 111 Students organized an exhibit to showcase their recycled plastic bottles in the College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) Lobby. They made different products out of plastic bottles like shoes, chandelier, flower vase, airplane toys, lampshade, ball pen stand and others. Students also posted slogans to encourage people to recycle plastic bottles in helping the environment clean and green.

Plastic recycling happens to be communities throughout the world. Plastics are known as the largest contributor of waste in the world. One of the most advantageous ways for re-using plastic products. This recycling process remains highly effective for recycling many products, including C2, Coca-Cola, Nature Spring Bottles and others.

One of the most important reasons why we should recycle  plastics remains hidden in the fact that plastics can take thousand of years to biodegrade. This means these bulky and plentiful plastic materials either continue to fill up landfills or they wind up in our streams and oceans and along the streets and meadows of our com
As my internet marketing subject point out, plastics are not recycled as efficiently as they should be. And this very important process will never begin until we, as individuals, take responsibility for helping the environment.

JEMA Days Sponsored by the World Class Business Institution

Last July 31, 2014, the Department of Entrepreneurial- Marketing, College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) celebrated their Junior Entrepreneurial- Marketing Association (JEMA) Days. It was a very enjoyable parade because Jollibee and Twirlie, two of the mascots of Jollibee Corporation joined also the parade from the college to Macarambon Hall. Though it was a long parade but students did not really felt tired because they were very entertained with the mascots as well as the pasikat contest in the streets, yelling and others. 

 

Then, the program started. Jollibee and Twirlie, danced in the stage. Students were really amused not only with their presentation but they find so cute at that time. Students are really acted like a kid, and it was really entertaining.

Butuan Wonders: Home of the Balangays

Curious about the place called The Home of Balangays (ancient sea vessel used by early settlers of the Philippines)? Wondering about the so-called Timber City of the South? These nicknames are attributed to the wonderful city of Butuan. The place is as well known as the ‘Ancient Kingdom of Butuan’. Its name was derived from, according to sources, a certain ruler of the land during the ancient times. The place is the Caraga’s regional center where offices and various agencies of the government almost situated. History asserted that as early as the tenth (10th) century, the Kingdom of Champa, which is now Vietnam, had established commercial affairs with the locals of Butuan. The Srivijaya Empire of Java as well, had been undergoing trading pacts during those times. Since then, the place developed in terms of financial stability and urban lifestyle.
 

 

Balangay also known as "The Butuan Boat".

This wooden boat was excavated in 1979 in northeastern Mindanao near the city of Butuan at a depth of about two meters and the original boat is said to have a measurement of about fifteen meters long and three meters wide across the beam. These boats were constructed using a very ancient technique. The planks were joined together edge-to-edge with the use of wooden pegs, and the hull is further made strong by bindings of fibre cords through holes in raised lugs on the inside surfaces of the planks - an ancient Southeast Asian method of boat-building. The wood of the boat has been dated to 320 A.D. 

 

 

These boats are evidence that early man in the Philippines was seafaring and was relatively technologically advanced. The discovery reveals too that there was already a contact and trade with areas outside of the Philippine islands as shown not only by the artifacts dating to this period that could only have come from other place, but is also suggested by the ability of local peoples in reaching outlying areas through the use of sea-going crafts. 

Today this historical figure, Balangay 1 lays at the Balangay Shrine Museum in Ambangan, Libertad five kilometers east of the city proper and so far, nine (9) balangays have been documented to exist. The National Museum excavated three of these boats while the rest are still waterlogged in specific sites in Butuan City.

 


These are only one of the glimpse of the historic wonders of Butuan. Through those discoveries, they bring us back to the greatness of our ancestors and how colonialism robbed these away from us and produced the FILIPINO today.
