Planet Solar, World's Largest Solar Boat MS Turanor

Monday July 27, 2011 I witnessed one of the greatest Filipino Achievement in the world History. Planet Solar, World's Largest Solar Boat named "MS Turanor" in Philippine Navy HQ in Manila Roxas Blvd Bay Area. Welcomed by VP Binay and representatives from Sunpower a US based solar company. 38, 000 Sunpower high-efficient Maxeon Solar Cells. Now it has solar plant in the Philippines that supplies 3 million of solar plates per week shipped all over the world. You may see the video and more pics of MS Turanor at www.planetsolar.org

It has a record in Guinness defined as the fastest solar power boat that circumference the whole world. I visit the boat facility walking beside the VP, diplomats, sun power officials and 4 star coastguard. The escorts and people from Ogilvy was stopping me because I'm on 2nd media batch boat tour. Whew! I feel I'm the President blogger at this time. Marching in fronts of military boarding this biggest solar boat that i was daydreaming off came into reality. Vice President Jejomay Binay said "he's proud to be a member of the Philippine Marines. Also he was amazed on how this big boat managed by 4 foreign crews looking at us beside the boat.

Anyways I meet an old fella Phil Navy Capt Amba (wish your 3 suns gets 4 stars same with my Uncle) on ceremony because we worked before with my Uncle in the US Navy. We talked about the latest retirement of Adm Andamag and the mission we worked with before. Supplying medical and humanitarian mission to Philippine provinces and tragic Leyte landslide. Also with US Navy top gun brave lieutenant Adam Cole of Join the Journey.

Before I end this winners place blog winning journey imagine now how fast technology go? Also how it became more fuel or energy efficient. As well as environment friendly  "no more oil spill" in the name of MS Turanor. Sailing connecting continents using ideal equipment and technology beyond boarders.

United States of America Birthday—Independence Day July 4, 1776

The declaration of  independence dated July 4, 1776 when 56 men signed the declaration of Independence in the USA from British Colony. Independence day in the US in year 1776 eventually inspired and adopted to the Philippines Independence as well. Where great man sacrifice to the freedom we enjoy today. I have no work today because of US holiday we people in call center follow EST.
In memory for those who fall yesterday so that will live free today.

But i remember the courage of this great man and women who wages their life so that we got freedom today. How many soldiers were deploy to Iraq and terror country to save us and make sure were safe to sleep at night? I believe that soldiers sent true this dangerous mission were brave to beat the enemy. But because they are too much concern to the people and family they left behind.  

Because of this freedom Hon. Manuel Quezon President of the 1st Republic
of the Philippine Islands inspired to regain freedom to his people.

A long time ago and today man fought to their enemy not because they were brave
but because they want to secure for those people who left behind.

This is part of the history that change the civilization we are living now.
Prior to pearl harbor and world war, USA is under British colony.




A long time ago a commander sail to the enemy's country load the soldier and
Unload to the enemy's territory then order he's men to burn the ship.

He want's to test the loyalty of he's men and shout to them.
You see the boat on fire and smoke we have no choice of surrender to the enemy's
Territory we will win or we will perish. They have won the battle.
( I was Reflecting to Julius Cesar Story)

Every man should get out to its comfort zone and be persistent to regain freedom and
It's country and willing to burn its own ship essential for victory.

What i can see is that you must posses the unusual courage and posses no form of retreat.
Today that we enjoy our timeless independence because of this man.
