Instituto Cervantes Holds a Lecture on the Critical State of our Oceans

Wazzup Pilipinas!

On Tuesday, November 12, 2019, at 4pm, the Spanish expert on Marine Sciences Dr. Emma Huertas will impart a talk on the state of the oceans at the Intramuros branch of Instituto Cervantes de Manila.

The lecture, entitled “The Oceans, 500 Years Later”, is organized under the framework of the 5th Centennial of the first circumnavigation of the world, an unprecedented feat by explorers Ferdinand Magellan and Juan Sebastian Elcano in a voyage commissioned by the Spanish crown.

The talk will provide an environmental aspect to this historical achievement, in which we are encouraged to reflect on the impact of transoceanic voyages on our seas, starting from the first circumnavigation of the world. The lecture will make a comparison of the situations of our oceans from 500 years ago until the present, and will present the value of scientific and historical knowledge as a tool for the conservation of our planet.

 

The speaker, Dr. Emma Huertas, is an expert in Marine Sciences. She holds a senior scientist position at the Spanish National Research Council, and previously worked as a research associate in the Universities of York and Toronto. Her main research lines lie within the field of marine biogeochemistry, specifically on the role of the ocean in the climate system.

Organized by Instituto Cervantes and the Commission for the V Centennial of the First Circumnavigation of the World, this project is done in collaboration with the Embassy of Spain-AECID and with the support of Intramuros Administration.

The Intramuros branch of Instituto Cervantes de Manila is located in Plaza San Luis Complex, Intramuros, Manila. Entrance to the conference is for free on a first come, first served basis.

Joining us as special guest was David Ricardo Valencia Ferro of Fandom Diaries coming in later in the show.

Our Kuyakoys' ET (ET could mean Events and Travel, Entertainment and Tech, or any other, even Extra Terrestrials since we will try to give you out of this world features with SUBSTANCE! But the flow would also depend on our, and our guests, moods for the day).

The name Kuyakoys was given by no less than the Voicemaster himself, Pocholo Gonzales, of Creativoices Productions and also the Marketing and P.R. Director at Titans Business Ventures Corporation.

.                                                                                                                                                         .
The show will be LIVE every Thursday at 10am to 12noon (two hours of storytelling, with special guests or features every episode, and we could also play videos of our events coverage, travel adventures, gadget unboxing, lifestyle features, video interviews, etc.,

We are using chroma or green screen so we can have any background or backdrop image, even a moving image or video, but we made it simple enough so it won't lag on the side of the viewers. Thank you Raymar our station manager for the technical expertise!

Earlier we played our exclusive video interviews  with the casts of 12 Days of Destiny starring Akihiro Blanco and Mary Joy Apostol as interviewed by David. This YouTube full movie, produced by Blade Auto Center, surpassed more than a million views already and counting. Part 2 and 3 is already in the works. Maybe your Kuyakoys will also be doing cameo roles on their movies. Why not!

We were invited as the only blog to witness the storycon with the casts (led by Akihiro Blanco and Mary Joy Apostol) and the director, and management of Blade Auto Center, producer of the YouTube full movie which reached more than a million views already and still counting.

We also talked about our recent travels and events namely Boracay, Nueva Ecija, Bacolod and many more including the restaurant opening of Ponce, a new Spanish Restaurant that recently opened in Tomas Morato, QC.
