Mulat Pinoy is a project by the Philippine Center for Population and Development (PCPD) and the Probe Media Foundation, Inc (PMFI) to spread awareness of population issues. They launched the site last Dec 19, and FF were actually invited to attend the launch event (thanks to an RH Bill related article in our site). Unfortunately, it coincided with the Winter Solstice party which is obviously more important than any population issue. Seriously though, we were invited the night before the event, so it was a bit too late to change the FF schedule.
And now, FF is invited to the Mulat Pinoy Kapihan Series. They’ve provided us the schedule and topics for the next 3 months:
2-4pm, Bo’s Coffee, Glorietta 5, Makati City
January 16 – Population and Environment
January 23 – Government Resources and Population Dynamics
January 30 – Population and Housing
February 13 – Population and Food Supply
February 27 – Population and Education
March 13 – Population and Health
March 27 – Urbanization/Migration
April 10 – Mulat Pinoy Synthesis
I was informed that presidential candidates Nick Perlas and JC Delos Reyes & his VP Dominador Chipeco will be attending this Saturday’s Kapihan Session on Population and Environment. If you’re scratching your head, wondering who they are (as I did), click on the links.
Thanks to Liwliwa Malabed for inviting the group!
@sinisterspark: I don't think he was schooled that day (or that he was schooled on population studies EVER) as per this blog post showed re: aftermath of forum – http://www.angsawariko.com/2010/01/2010-election-…
Oh my. That JC dude is the guy denying overpopulation exists. I hope he gets told.
