Head on to The Persimmon Plus on March 31, Saturday, for a most meaningful Earth Hour 2012 with family and friends and the rest of the global community.

Get to thinking big in commitment to Mother Earth, The Persimmon Plus, at The Persimmon, along M. J. Cuenco Avenue in Mabolo, Cebu City hosts a variety of activities in Switch Off, offering the community a way to contribute to environmental solutions in the largest global demonstration of concern for the Earth.

Switch Off features Cebu Trivia Night, brain-wracking, rib-tickling, unnerving fun. Cebu Trivia Night is open to anyone and everyone raring to pit wits with other teams sure to claim knowing everything about the earth and anything under the sun.

It will also be a wonderful display of artistry as Bernardo Flores takes the spotlight with his high fashion collection interspersed with music, fire dancers and commitment-signing. Flores has earned a name for himself in the local fashion centerstage with distinct bridal couture, dressing up a sizeable number of celebrities and personalities.

Percs Republic and Coro Serenata will also be offering upbeat music, bringing everyone to celebrate beyond the hour. The Persimmon Plus is gathering entrepreneurs for the Earth Hour Bazaar offering unique items ranging from food to fashion accessories.

Fretzie Alquiza, AboitizLand’s Commercial Business Unit Marketing Officer said that Earth Hour is aligned to AboitizLand’s promise of nurturing communities. “We are collaborating with a variety of stakeholders to take sustainable action not just on the hour but beyond, thus uniting people to protect the planet.”

The emerging event place of the city, The Persimmon Plus houses Carlito’s Way Diner, Dong Juan, Mr. Coffee, Pan de Manila, Happy Rooster Home Décor Café ensuring the best casual dining experience. It is also a convenient place to do regular grocery shopping (Three Sixty Pharmacy), pampering (Bright Smiles), and other serviced activities (Softwash Laundromat, Cebu
Trip Tours, Bernardo C. Flores and Aboitiz Jebsen).

The Persimmon Plus is the commercial hub of The Persimmon, the first vertical community developed by AboitizLand, Inc. It joins the Mactan Economic Zone 2, another AboitizLand industrial development and the rest of the global community, in dimming and shutting off non-essential lights during Earth Hour 2012, from 8:30 – 9:30 p.m.

Cebu Tsunami Scare Hoax Map

As we speak some people are already panicking regarding the tsunami alert 2 which was announced by Phivolcs, there are many establishments that are closing down , people running in the streets (I even saw one without slippers) looking for high ground. Gasoline stations closing, some or most of the classes and workplace  are all cancelled.

I will tell you that the Cebu Tsunami is a Hoax, some people even told me that baranggay Mambaling is already flooded and some parts of Talisay, Toledo and other areas near the shore which is not true. (spread the news)

People running in the streets is probably the one triggered the  panic with news misinformation, I mean, it really affected the way they see the situation. Many are stranded due to heavy traffic and people are even having a hard time commuting due to many Bus and jeepneys stopped riding due to panic and worry.

I am currently listening to a radio were there are reported 4 confirmed killed (as we speak)  in Negros Oriental which was the epicenter of the Earthquake with intensity 7.

The Tsunami is a false alarm here in Cebu, but just be reminded to be always vigilant and don’t forget to pray in these tough times.
