Can't Leave Home Without Sunblock

Before I flew out to Maldives, I had to go through a very intense packing session. Packing, for ToT, is a multi-day affair, capped off by my 'Ate Tess' refolding and reorganizing everything I dump atop my suitcase, to actually IN my suitcase. Since this is a dive trip, there are a lot of things that I had to pack. My wetsuit, fins, underwater camera case, etc. But the one thing that always tops my list is SUNBLOCK.

"A pro-bono proposal from Budji Layug, Royal Pineda and Kenneth Cobonpue in cooperation with the National Competitiveness Council of the Philippines.

Its time someone did something about the worst airport in the world. So we made this design because we believe that no matter how beautiful our country is, our airports give the first and last impressions. This plan is relatively inexpensive and simple to adapt. The plan also involves renovating the interiors to allow faster flow of travelers between security, immigration and departure.

The first step has been done. Lets hope our government moves on this proposal quickly."
