COTABATO CITY, JCI TURNS EDSA’s YELLOW TO GREEN


February 25, 1986 exactly 25 years from today, the People Power revolution happened. The Filipino people gained freedom from dictatorship. For the Junior Chamber International (JCI), the People Power commemoration sparks a new revolution. Color this one green.


JCI, a worldwide non-political, non-sectarian youth service organization, today held a nationwide tree planting activity entitled “Green is the color of love: Plant a Tree, Save a Soul” that aims to create a positive change in society by promoting environmental awareness among the public.
Mobilizing over 3,000 members from 170 chapters throughout the country and from the public, the JCI tree planting event was held simultaneously in at least 20 sites in Baguio, Batangas, Cagayan de Oro, Cavite, Cebu, Cotabato, Dagupan, Davao, GenSan, Iligan, Isabela, Laguna, Albay, Legaspi, Southern Leyte, River Side Marikina, Montalban, Pagadian, Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Pampangga, Antipolo Rizal, Souther Visayas, and Zamboanga.

“In Cotabato City, environmental degradation at present is not just an issue. It is everybody’s concern. Advocating active citizenship is a privilege for all the JCI members. It is not just a campaign for reviving the ecosystem but also investing for a better “greener” future for the next generation,” said Norianne Frondoza, from JCI Cotabato; Area Vice-president, AREA V-Mindanao.

Over 3,000 seedlings such as Molave, Acacia and Ipil-ipil were planted nationwide, provided by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

“This is a chance to give back what our environment has provided us. With every tree planted, we will be leaving behind clean and beautiful place for the next generation,” said Ana Lim Santiago, President, JCI Davaoeno Dabadaba.

COTABATO CITY: tHe gReEn mOsQuE - Masjid Al-Salaamah


What is a mosque? What are the difference between a mosque and a masjid? Is it safe for me go there? And what are the restrictions should I consider in going   knowing that I am not a Muslim? These are the questions that came across my mind, and this is it…
A mosque is a place of worship for followers of Islam. The word entered the English language most likely through French (mosquée), from Portuguese (mesquita), from Spanish (mezquita), and from Berber (tamezgida), ultimately originating in Arabic: masjid مسجد‎ — Arabic pronunciation: [ˈmæsdʒɪd]. The Arabic word masjid literally means a place of prostration. The word "mosque" in English refers to all types of buildings dedicated for Islamic worship, although there is a distinction in Arabic between the smaller masjid dedicated for the daily five prayers and the larger masjid jāmi‘ (مسجد جامع) where the daily five prayers and the Friday congregation sermons are held with a high volume of attendance. The masjid jāmi‘ also plays more roles such as teaching Qur'an and educating future imams.
The mosque serves as a place where Muslims can come together for salat (prayer) (Arabic: صلاة‎, ṣalāt) as well as a center for information, education, and dispute settlement. The Imam leads the prayer.
Masjid Al-Salaamah is known as the GREEN MOSQUE for its dominant color is green. The mosque   is located in corner Doña Theresa and Doña Pilar Streets, Vilo Subdivision here in Cotabato City. This was opened since September 07, 2007.
I would like to say thank you to bapa Willie for sharing his knowledge about the green mosque and the willingness to share the teaching of Islam to me. Yes indeed it is safe to go, just be in proper attire or better yet look bapa Willie and be advice.
