The template has some defective parts in it that I am still trying to fix @Julsitos- I wonder what's taking them so long. A boycott on their products is a good idea. I hope others pick up the idea. @Toe- I wonder if other countries will donate hair

As a consumer, I am disgusted at the company’s seeming insensitivity towards the environment, and how it washes its hands of any responsibility. I wanted to help in letting Petron feel my displeasure, but I felt helpless in making a dent at the company. But then, I remembered how Gandhi evoked change through civil disobedience wherein he urged ordinary people to boycott English cotton which resulted in hurting of the sales of foreign business and the eventual attention of the British government.To evoke change is to provoke Petron where it hurts them the most: their pockets. In this regard, I urge all petrol-consuming Filipinos to BOYCOTT ALL PETRON PRODUCTS AND GAS STATIONS until they remove that ship from the Guimaras waters. I’m doing my share of protest in the hope that they will listen to the voice of its consumers.

Unfortunately, I was a bit harassed when I finally got my cut. I forgot all about helping with the clean up. :( I'm glad you were able to make that contribution. Good job!
