U.S. Embassy Manila marks the importance of the ocean with the launch of Seeing
Blue: an Ocean’s Month Movie Series at the Exploreum, Ground Floor, Southside
Entertainment Mall of the SM Mall of Asia on June 8, 2015 (Monday) at 6 PM. U.S.
Ambassador Philip S. Goldberg will deliver the opening remarks. World Wildlife
Fund National Advisory Council Vice Chairman Lory Tan will be the guest speaker.
The “Seeing Blue” screening series is a free and by-invitation-only event in
partnership with National Geographic Channel Philippines and features the
documentary “Alien Deep: Ocean’s Fury” by Dr. Robert Ballard, one of the
greatest underwater explorers. Ballard has found the Titanic, the Bismarck, the
carrier Yorktown and new forms of life. In this film, Dr. Ballard searches for
answers as to why the ocean seems to be getting bigger, angrier and more deadly.
Seeing Blue - Post Your Pledge on how to Save the Ocean
As part of its #1Earth environmental campaign and in support of the U.S. State
Department’s efforts for ocean conservation, U.S. Embassy Manila’s “Seeing Blue”
series seeks to stress to the youth the importance of taking care of marine life
and coastal environments.
The embassy invited students from various coastal
cities in Metro Manila such as Muntinlupa City, Navotas City, Pasay City, and
Manila. They will have the opportunity to ask questions from the expert
following the screening. Apart from Manila, “Seeing Blue” will also be held in
Pampanga and Batangas within the month.
