Wazzup Pilipinas!

When talking about planning a holiday, only a few modes of transport can compare to the train excursion. There are many people who travel by train only to cross the distance and reach their destination. But there are also people who go on train journeys and make the most of their experience.

There are many features of Indian railways that have made rail journeys absolutely easy in this present time. Be it PNR check or seat availability; you can keep a check of everything. Anyhow, there are some powerful reasons that denote train journeys are the best in India. You can walk through some of the reasons right below:

A date with real India 
Train journeys in India take you closer to the culture and to your people. Every companion or passenger you are travelling with has a distinct story. A train allows you sit across people. The train gives you the chance to know people and their cultures. You get to know what real India is. Maybe you are born and brought up in a specific region of specific place in India. But when you are in a train, you share the space with people who have their different backgrounds. When you look at their clothing style, language and listen to their views, you taste the real Indian essence. It is indeed a date with real India.

Refreshing trip 
When you are in a train, you get a chance to travel next to refreshing waterfalls, thick jungles or amidst waves.  Have you ever explored the excitement and thrill when a swift chugging train passes via a tunnel, it really induces enthusiasm in every heart. Similarly, the view of the dense forest during the monsoon or waterfalls leaves your jaws dropped. It is no less than a holiday, right? It is like a double treat. The train takes you to your destination and at the same time gives you adventurous time on board.

A filmy tang 
When you are in the middle of a train journey, there is every chance that you might meet someone special. Real life filmy love stories unfold right before you. These journeys are more than only journeys for people. It is the finest place for eyes to encounter, for the hearts to pound, for love to take place at the first glance. There are many love stories in India that have actually stemmed from a specific train journey.

Comfort on your palm 
Indeed when you are in a train, you are always in your comfort zone. When your legs begin to pain and body aches because of constant sitting of hours; you have every ease to stand up and walk through the compartments of the train. You can walk through the compartments and relax your body. This is something that is not possible in bus or other journeys. Similarly, sometimes when the train halts for a long time at a platform, you can get down and take a quick walk there too.

Thus, it’s for sure that your perspective towards train journeys have changed a little after going through these discussed point’s right? Maybe slowly, but your love for train journeys will expand once you take journeys in a positive perspective.

DOE Celebrates Women’s Month with Girl Scouts


Wazzup Pilipinas!

PLEDGE OF EMPOWERMENT: Girl Scouts from various cities in Greater Manila Area pledge their commitment as “Energy Cost Busters” by practicing energy efficiency and conservation measures in their day-to-day living. The oath-taking was part of the collaboration between the DOE and GSP Rizal Council Camp for the celebration of the 2018 National Women’s Month last March 2 in Marikina City.

The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Girl Scouts of the Philippines (GSP) Rizal Council Camp celebrated the 2018 National Women’s Month (NWM) through a joint consumer education campaign last March 2 at the Sto. Niño Baseball Field in Marikina City during the annual camping activity.

Consistent with the 2018 NWM’s theme: “We Make Change Work for Women,” two sub-camps from the GSP Rizal Council Camp took part in the DOE-Consumer Welfare and Promotion Office (CWPO)-led educational seminars - the ENEReady: A Career Talk on Breaking Gender Stereotypes in the Energy Workforce under the agency’s Gender and Development (GAD) program; and the Energy Smart Kids or EnerKids.

Aligned with the DOE's E-Power Mo campaign, the ENEReady and EnerKids programs aims to promote gender balance and development in the energy sector and educate the younger generation on energy efficiency and conservation measures.

A total of 238 Grades 7-10 campers from Antipolo, Las Piñas, Malabon, Marikina, Muntinlupa, Navotas, Parañaque, Pateros, Rizal, San Juan and Taguig were given valuable insights by resource speakers from DOE-CWPO on the work of women engineers and geologists in the DOE whose careers they can aspire for in the future.

Energy Secretary Alfonso G. Cusi said, “As we salute and recognize the vital role of women in our lives, the energy family commits itself to the furtherance of women empowerment and upholding gender complementarities for a more progressive society.”

The DOE Speakers engaged the GSP in a lively and very thorough discussion of practical household energy efficiency and conservation tips that they can apply in their daily lives.

The educational program was capped with the Pledge of Commitment, branding the students as “Energy Cost Busters” to apply their newly acquired learning on energy in their own homes.

Early this year, the DOE and the GSP made a pact through a Memorandum of Understanding to train 2.2 Million Girl Scouts on basic electricity concepts and wise and efficient utilization of energy as well as through hands-on experiments.

The Agreement also entailed the conduct of educational fora geared towards encouraging young girls to take up courses in science, technology and energy.


ENERGY SMART GIRL SCOUTS: Girl Scouts listen attentively to CWPO’s Senior Science Research Specialist Norita C. Froilan as she lectures on basic household saving tips during the annual GSP Rizal Council Camp on March 2 in Marikina City.
