Press Release: Isang Litrong Liwanag = 1 Liter of Light
IsangLitrongLiwanagShows How Human-Powered Solutions Can
Revolutionize our Approach to Climate Change
MANILA – JULY 22 – IsangLitrongLiwanag(1 Liter of Light), the story of the first grassroots solar lighting program in the world, will make its national debut in a special screening at the Cinemalaya film festival on Thursday, July 26, at 3:30pm in the Dream Theatre.
Directed by Ms. Joy Aquino, the documentary follows the first efforts of the MyShelter Foundation and its volunteers as they bring the green revolution to the bottom 99% in the Philippines and around the world.
Empowering local entrepreneurs and marginalized groups like prison detainees and trash pickers, IsangLitrongLiwanag shows how simple technologies powered by human hands can immediately address the access to energy gap, one of the most critical issues facing the planet today.
In a world where over one billion people currently lack access to or cannot afford electricity, there are few solutions that reach the underprivileged communities that need them most. Using discarded plastic bottles, water, and a bit of bleach, 1 Liter of Light has given hope to thousands by lighting up their homes with low-cost, zero-carbon emission solar bottle bulbs. What started out as an initiative with one carpenter and one set of tools in San Pedro, Laguna, is now a global movement, with youth groups and volunteers replicating the project in at least ten countries around the world.
IsangLitrongLiwanag will inspire audiences by sharing the story of how a developing country can share its gift of knowledge with the rest of the world and revolutionize the way Filipinos think about solutions to climate change.

A Tribute to Odette Alcantara
At a coffee shop last week, while reading the papers, my attention was caught by one of the headliners, “Odette Alcantara, environmentalist, art patron; 67.” I turned the page and read the whole story.
I’ve met Ms. Odette during the ‘Harana Style’ gathering of artists at her home in Quezon City on July 5. I ran the Milo half-marathon race early morning that same day. The gathering was to raise funds as well as showcase different local and indigenous talents. I was fortunate enough to be invited by Joey Ayala’s vocalist, Tapati.
I sang two songs, Himig ng Pag-ibig by Asin and Walang Ibang Sadya by Joey Ayala at ang Bagong Lumad. It was indeed a night of music about the environment. What happened next was the surprise of my life. They asked me to sing Bayang Barrios’
