MANILA OCEAN PARK
Almost all person I know who have gone to Manila Ocean Park are saying that it was a good place and you learn a lot while enjoying at the same time. The only comment they made was the admission price which was P400 for adults and P350 for kids. The Manila Ocean Park is an oceanarium in Manila, Philippines. It is owned by China Oceanis Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Inc., a Singaporean-registered firm that has operated four oceanariums in China. The Manila Ocean Park (MOP) is currently under construction behind the historical Quirino Grandstand at the Rizal Park. Still incomplete, the Manila Ocean Park nonetheless is now partly open, as of March 1, 2008. The (8,000 square meters) oceanarium is said to be bigger than (6,000 square meters) Sentosa's Underwater World oceanarium in Singapore in terms of floor area but its 25-meters underwater acrylic tunnel is far shorter than Sentosa's 83-meters with moving travellator. Together with the Ocenarium, there will also be a Marine Theme mall and the hotel, theme park, out door pools, restaurants which are soon to open in mid to late 2008 and an open marine habitats which are set to open in the second quarter of 2009.
The main objectives of the Manila Ocean Park are the following:
- To provide Filipinos and foreign tourists a premium place that showcases the beautiful flora and marine fauna species found in the Philippines.
- Committed to educate the public and to promote awareness on the conservation and preservation of Philippine flora and marine fauna.
- Offers the public an innovative shopping experience with the country’s only marine-themed mall, housing selected premium branded stores.
- Provides the consumer a truly unique dining and social experience with its distinctive F&B outlets and function facilities.
- Provides an ideal location for memorable corporate events.
- Offers world-class accommodation in its one-of-a-kind, marine-themed boutique hotel.

MOUNT PINATUBO
It has been 17 years had passed since the destructive explosion of Mount Pinatubo. The volcano's eruption in June 1991 produced the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century. The effects of the eruption were felt worldwide. It ejected roughly 10 billion metric tons of magma, and 20 million tons of SO2, bringing vast quantities of minerals and metals to the surface environment. It injected large amounts of aerosols into the stratosphere—more than any eruption since that of Krakatoa in 1883. Over the following months, the aerosols formed a global layer of sulfuric acid haze. Global temperatures dropped by about 0.5 °C (0.9 °F), and ozone depletion temporarily increased substantially.
Many structures and livelihood were destroyed. Nearby towns were burried from the ashes. But now, you can see how nature heals itself. These images were taken by Teng. In her pictures which you can see how the once ash covered Mount Pinatubo is now a serene, calm and peaceful place. 
Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines, at the inter section of the borders of the provinces of Zambales, Tarlac, and Pampanga. Ancestral Pinatubo was a stratovolcano made of andesite and dacite. Before 1991, the mountain was inconspicuous and heavily eroded. It was covered in dense forest which supported a population of several thousand indigenous people, the Aeta, who had fled to the mountains from the lowlands when the Spanish conquered the Philippines in 1565.
