A Philippine company producing "coconet" was nominated and was selected as one of the finalists for the bbc-world challenge contest. This is basically a search for the best grassroots project.
There will be a documentary about the project which will be shown on the BBC world several times between September to October. It seems that the finalists will also be featured in a special issue of Newsweek. Just being publicised is already good for business.
But it would be nice to win for our country which has been getting very bad publicity nowadays.
Please open www.theworldchallenge.co.uk and vote for the Philippines.
