So what is this New 7 Wonders of Nature? According to Wikipedia:
New7Wonders of Nature is an initiative started in 2007 to create a list of seven natural wonders chosen by people through a global poll. It is being led by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and organized by the New7Wonders Foundation, a Swiss-based, government-controlled foundation. This campaign follows the New Seven Wonders of the World, which attracted 100 million votes from around the world.
Why am I so ecstatic about it? Because we only have 3 DAYS remaining before the voting closes! And best of it is that the PPUR is in the top 10!! (Click here to read the article) How awesome is that?!!
Well, you might be wondering if I have ever been there. The answer is YES. And to tell you the truth,
it was an awesome journey! It was an adventure of mixed emotions from anticipation to excitement, serenity to awe, and appreciation! Of again, how awesome and how wonderful God's creations are.

What is in it for me? As a Filipino, I am proud of the natural wonders our country has to provide, from majestic mountain ranges to the lush deep valleys, from the magnificent forests to the vibrant marine life of your seas, it is everything to be proud of! Also, hopefully, when we win this, we can increase the awareness not only in our country but to all the world that we should take better care of our natural resources and stop the horrendous exploitation and overuse of these resources, so that we can showcase these pristine ecosystems to the next generation.
