The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB-7) have exceeded by more than 100 percent their 2011 target of areas to be planted under the National Greening Program (NGP) through nine operating mines and quarries in Central Visayas.
TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol- Two bands from Bohol need their town's support to download their entries to land them a spot in the 2011 Kapisanan ng Mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) Pop Music Festival’s upcoming album.


MGB-7 regional director Loreto Alburo said a total of 288.16 hectares out of their 261-hectare target, or equivalent to 110.41 percent, was the bureau's 2011 accomplishment.
Shortlisted after besting more than 300 entries when the competition opened last year, the Boholano rap/ rhythm and blues group Rhymatics (Tagbilaran) and rock group Cruisers Band (Loboc) hang on as they invite Boholanos to keep downloading their entries on the internet until April 27.


The areas were planted with 311,825 agroforestry and native tree species under the NGP by nine operating mines and quarries.
Rhymatics, a group of four friends from Tagbilaran City, sings Bangon Pilipinas, a three-minute, 34-second rap composition of Jake Warren Hubac of Dampas.
Six mining companies in Cebu had a combined accomplishment of 254.46 hectares or 88.31 percent which were planted with 283,586 seedlings. This is an increase of 90.94 percent out of 311,825 tree species planted last year.


Of the total 288.16 hectares, Carmen Copper Corporation in Toledo City, Cebu planted the most number of seedlings totaling to 207,374 covering 132.39 hectares or 45.94 percent of the entire region’s reforestation effort.
On the other hand, the Cruisers, a six-member band composed of musicians playing regularly aboard the Loboc River cruises, sings a four-minute rock piece called Ang Kabataang Pinoy (AKAP).


'''Bohol province''' has only one operating large scale mining company, Philippine Mining Service '''Corporation-Bohol''' Limestone Corporation in '''Garcia-Hernandez, Bohol'''. The company planted around 10,239 or 3.28 percent of the regional accomplishment of different types of tree species covering 20 hectares or 6.94 percent.
The KBP 2011 Pop Music Festival came out as a project of an alliance of the Filipino Composers Development Cooperative (FILCOMDEC) and the KBP to promote the Philippine music industry, develop the culture and arts and discover new talents, establish, create, maintain, and manage an internet protocol based web-site for music content so these artists can have a music store.


In Negros Oriental, five hectares were planted with over 8,000 seedlings, while 8.7 hectares were covered with 10,000 seedlings in Siquijor.
In its website that was born to promote the sales of Filipino musical creations, Click Music Philippines Incorporated (CMPI) said its website www.clickmusic.com.ph allows Filipino artists to distribute their musical creations by making them available for download and other multi-media applications to improve or promote the economic well-being and/or interest of the stakeholders in the Philippine Music Industry.


Alburo said the strong support and cooperation of the operating mines and quarries in the region to pursue the “green” agenda of President Benigno S. Aquino III and Department of Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Paje is significant as they have the necessary resources for nursery production and seedlings plantation.
CMPI works in close consultation with the different stakeholders in the Philippine Music Industry such as the composers, publishers, sound recording rights owners, artists, performers, broadcast media, and all other parties who might have a stake in the Philippine Music Industry.


“While the mining companies are implementing the NGP, they have continued to sustain the MGB’s mining forest program,” he said.
Their first major project, the 2010 KBP Pop Music Festival, aims to generate new song content for the Click Music website while successfully achieving its goals.
He added that a total of 1,050.714 hectares were reforested since 2001 within the mining contract area.


“Even before the NGP, tree planting and maintenance through the mining forest program had already been institutionalized and the plantation is being monitored by a multipartite monitoring team along with other environmental programs implemented by the mining companies,” he said.
In 2011, the competition was again opened to all Filipino composers both amateur and professional. But this year, the contest organizers said it is unique from other songwriting contests because the competition will be done in the airwaves.
 
This means that shortlisted artists need to garner as much song download sales from www.clickmusic.com.ph to edge past other finalists.
 
To download, music enthusiasts can visit the website, look for Bangon Pilipinas and AKAP in the titles or Cruisers and Rhymatics in the artists and click on the download to carts.
 
Each downloaded music costs P25.00, according to the website.
