An expectator duing the exhibit
Goal for everyone was to light a candle.
First, for the victims of the Chernobyl disaster
second to protest against the BNPP
It was a day full of eye-popping information about nuclear energy, the consequences that it entails. The Chernobyl disaster has been an iconic representation of nuclear energy amd its adverse effects to humankind. A short film titled Zero Hour: The Disaster at Chernobyl was presented. The film reconstructed the minute-by-minute events on the morning of April 26, 1986. After which, a short talk was given by Francis dela cruz of Greenpeace regarding the activities the government has been doing to reoperationalize the BNPP. He also pointed out some similarities that happened and might still happen if BNPP will be back into Operations.
After which, we were guided back into the field for the candle lighting vigil for the victims of the Chernobyl disaster and the protest against the BNPP.

Jc & I wento to attend the Green Cafe organized by Greenpeace, since I was a supporter for some years now, I did not hesistate to attend this one. Since the news of the re-operationalization idea of BNPP (Bataan Nuclear Power Plant) being proposed in Congress came in , I was already against it. Not only being a white elephant for some years now. It is also a reflection of an ambitious and corruption driven regime with all these years that had gone by it's ability to be safe would still be a question.
