*HUNDREDS JOINS “MOVING PLANET “CLIMATE ACTION IN ROSARIO, CAVITE,
PHILIPPINES
*
Amidst signs of an early morning downpour, around 500 people from all walks
of life still converged in-front of the Municipal Hall of Rosario, Cavite to
join the 2011 Moving Planet climate action.
Municipal and barangay government officials and personnel together with
various schools and civic organizations went to the streets on foot and on
their bikes to show their solidarity to the global call to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions to 350 parts per million (ppm) to mitigate the impacts of
global warming and climate change.
Before reaching La Isla Bonita de Salinas beach where the Moving Planet and
350 human formation will be conducted, the participants walked and bike for
about 2 kilometers carrying paper windmills, 350 banners, and climate
posters while others shouted some chants about climate change.
Upon reaching the beach, a wave of people in different colors signifies that
climate action is everyone’s moral responsibility and concern regardless of
creed, religion and social status.
Michael Giongco, head of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Office (MDRRMO) of Rosario, in his speech, asserts that everyone
just walked and used their bikes in going to the beach as a manifestation of
the simple action to reduce everyone’s carbon footprint. He added that the
Municipality of Rosario, together with the rest of the world supports the
global call to reduce GhG to 350ppm to mitigate climate change. He also
hopes that the said event will be start of a long term commitment of
everyone to act on climate change.
Mayor Jose Ricrafente, in his solidarity message congratulates the people of
Rosario for the successful Moving Planet event. He said that climate action
also means putting significance in protecting the environment which is of
vital importance to the survival of the people of Rosario. He shared that
the very beach where the Moving Planet and 350 human formation was held is a
living testimony of the commitment of his leadership in environmental
protection. He further shared that the local government unit has poured a
lot of effort to put an end to illegal fishing activities in the coastal
areas of Rosario.
The 2011 Moving Planet was then read by Ms. Janah Araracap, SK Chair of
Barangay Silangan 1. She expressed that climate change is bringing permanent
changes to our lives that the immediate effects that worsen natural hazard
events must be managed with proper preparedness and response. She added that
the more permanent changes require more massive actions, not just from
government, but from all sectors in society; including all of us. The
declaration also appeals to the people of Rosario and the world to change
“lifestyle” as a simple solution to mitigate climate change. Ms. Araracap
mentioned simple actions such as change of consumerist lifestyle, reduction
or zero use of plastics, promote the practice of walking and biking as mode
of transportation, switch off and unplug of electrical devices, and others.
She also highlights that the people of Rosario supports the current
Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) and Climate Change
Adaptation project that is being implemented in Rosario, Cavite that is
spearheaded by the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction (IIRR)
and funded by the United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR). Finally, the
declaration emphasized on the basic rights of the people to a healthy
environment and free from disasters brought about by climate change.
The finale of the event was the 350 human formation wherein Mark Cervantes
of IIRR gave a quick background on the significance of 350 number in climate
change issue.
The Moving Planet 2011 event in Rosario was participated by the following
organization, schools and individual: Municipal Local Government of Rosario,
Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, Cavite State
University, Sapa National High School, Bagbag National High School, Bayan
Muna, Nagkakaisang Kabataan sa Rosario, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary
Divers, Seaborne, Philippine National Police, Bureau of Fire, Rosario Radio
Group, Barangay Health Workers, Rosario Bikers Association, Lingkod Bayan,
Association of Barangay Captains.
Staff and family members of IIRR and volunteers of the United Committee On
Relief (UMCOR) also joined the event wherein UMCOR provided free brewed
coffee to the participants.

Over the course of Devin Townsend’s storied career, a single constant has persevered: change. As far back as Steve Vai’s Sex & Religion, which Townsend fronted, to 2001’s landmark full-length Terria to the multi-instrumentalist’s country rock outfit Casualties of Cool to his stunning new album Transcendence, the Canadian isn’t too interested in keeping an even musical keel. To stay the proverbial course is, well, anathema. For certain, he’s far too impatient to write the same Strapping Young Lad song over and over—which is why he folded the band in 2007—and it’s likely there will never be a fourth or fifth Ziltoid album (a third if we’re lucky) because by that point he’ll be in a totally different frame of mind for galactic puppets gone awry.
“The Devin Townsend Project is still essentially a solo project,” he reminds. “One of several, but the difference is that I've had a dedicated team of talented folks here that really had great ideas. of the ways I consciously stepped out of my comfort zone was to the solicit feedback from not only the band, but also to production and engineering. Opinions from people I trust at the management and label, and all with a sense of building a kind of archetype of the DTP sound that would not ostracize people who enjoy the style, but keeping it fresh for me as well. One of the things I did was present my vision—which I’ve always done—and within that framework, I’d massage it with the team. For this record, in those sections, I’d bring it to the band and say, ‘Look guys, here’s what it’s supposed to do. This is how it’s supposed to make me feel. And how the audience is supposed to feel. This is how it interacts with the parts prior and after. That’s why it exists. It’s not complicated because we’re trying to jerk off here. It’s complicated because, in my mind, the emotional component of the section is complicated. But in lieu of how quickly I tend to purge music I’m thinking: how can we make it cooler while I can still move quickly? 'Here’s the basic chord structure guys, this is what I think it should basically do, be it angular or in thirds or whatnot... Dave [Young; guitars] and Mike [St-Jean; keyboards] Ryan (VanPoederooyen: drums) and Brian (Waddell: bass) , can you think of something cooler there? I’ll be back tomorrow.’”
“It took a year to try and figure out a template for what DTP should be and still be of interest to me,” remembers Townsend, “And as much as I’ve been a control freak for so long, I’m also at an age where I recognize those elements—like friends—in my life are ultimately more important than music, and the need to control something like the DTP at this point is more rooted in insecurity now that necessity. I do enjoy being part of a team. I like to think after so many records with these guys that I don't really have to be at the center of everything. I can trust a team of people—the right people—to help where I need help. I need an engineer who has better ears than me. My ears are getting tired after all these years. If you put together a team whose strengths are better than yours, and then you put in your strengths, then what comes out of it, for no other reason than for an experiment, is really cool. And in line with my need for a project to have a theme to draw me into it, That’s what this records theme became. It’s an experiment put to music. If anything really kick started the inspiration for the record, it was that. The desire to get the DTP 'right' for what it is.”
Recorded at The Armoury Studios in Vancouver, Canada with Townsend and Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood (Periphery, Animals as Leaders), Transcendence sounds absolutely massive. From the moment ‘Truth’—a re-work from the Infinity album—monstrously blends into the soul-stirring ‘Stormbending’ to the undulating cool of mid-point jam ‘Secret Sciences’ and Ween cover ‘Transdermal Celebration’, Townsend and crew have engineered a modern-day classic. The sheer scale of tracks like ‘Failure’, ‘Higher’, and the majestic title track is at once daunting and inviting. Transcendence pulls the listener in like a movie score. It has the emotional heft of Rosenman’s Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and the mega-riff power of Black-era Metallica.
Even if Transcendence had its 'bikini wax' moments—(Townsend metaphorically refers to his process as 'professionally hitting myself in the face with a hammer')—the final product is fantastic. In many ways, it’s typical The Devin Townsend Project, however there is now an inviting sense of depth and relative breathing room in the sound. Always professional and sonically awash in darks, lights, and colors between, it turned out not only to be an acceptable new DTP record, but arguably one of the best. What also added to the overall quality was the addition of five guest musicians—including but not limited to ex-The Gathering vocalist Anneke Van Giersbergen, vocalists Ché Aimee Dorval and Katrina Natale—and a five-person choir called Tigers In A Tank. Their contribution to Transcendence’s overall ambiance is noteworthy and necessary.
“Well, I love working with female vocalists because I’m not particularly fond of singing and I really react emotionally to female voices,” posits the frontman. “I kind of fell into singing. I could never find someone who would sing like I wanted, so I begrudgingly took the job. Anneke’s obviously worked with me for a while now. Ché was on this record because she was with me in Casualties of Cool. And Katrina sang one song on the Ghost album. Also, I wanted the three of them on this record if this was to be the last DTP record. They bring it all together. So, sticking with the same people is the same reason I’ve been married for so long. Once I find great people, I have no need to look elsewhere for the similar things. It’s kind of great as it eliminates option paralysis in that area, though as different needs arise, often things evolve as well. As for the choir, it’s typically been inefficient. For the last record, I went to Amsterdam and it was crazy. I went to Sweden and it was cool but super-expensive. On Epicloud, I had a gospel choir, but had to over-dub a lot. For this one, I asked my buddy Eric [Severinson] to find three capable women and two men. I was able to create the choir by doing over-dubs and recording on-the-fly. It turned out great and it was very efficient.”
With over 60 songs in the bag for Transcendence, (not all, he is quick to point out, of the same quality) Townsend obviously had to pare down. The songs that made it, however, are breathtaking in their scope, beautiful in their presentation, and heavy—noticeably—enough to out-bombast the sum of The Devin Townsend Project’s previous full-lengths. Certainly, Townsend knows how he feels about the songs on Transcendence (and its accompanying second disc). Each song, from ‘Truth’ and ‘Secret Sciences’ to ‘Stars’ and ‘Offer Your Heart’, provoked a reaction from the man.
“My litmus test for whether or not a song or a record is working is really about my visceral reaction to it,” Townsend says. “If I react to it, then it’s correct, for me. That reaction could be repulsion, it could make me cry, it could irritate me, I could be loving it, it’s pretty much all the same. As long as I’m affected by the song, then I know I have something accurate.”
As for the Townsend’s loyal fans? The very fans who’ve been waiting with bated breath for Transcendence?
“If it gives me a reaction, then I hope it’ll contribute something to their world. Ultimately, I'm happy to contribute my observations to the massive sea of music. If there's anything that became clear to me throughout this all is the value of being part of something as opposed to being too concerned about 'being' the thing'

You can see in the background of the picture the large tower crane that is currently building Trump Parc.

One benefit of my very early commute southeast bound on the freeway is that I get to enjoy some beautiful sunrises. There's no place to pull over and take a picture, but today I made it to the office in time to capture an image of the sun peaking over the hills from my 4th floor office building.
