Bamboo Taxi here in Philippines

Guys, try to look this kind of new invented of Pinoy.... its is a Taxi made of Baboo, imagine made in baboo check it out...

In the search for a low-cost, fuel-efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly alternative to motorcycles, the mayor of a city in the Philippines recently rolled out two incredible taxis crafted from one of our favorite renewable materials – bamboo! Rustico Balderian, mayor of Tabontabon, has commissioned the construction of two taxis made from 90% bamboo that are powered by coconut biodiesel – take that steel-based cars!

Bamboo is an incredible material – it is rapidly renewable, environmentally friendly, and does not require a ton of processing for it to be incorporated into designs. But did you know that its tensile strength is just as good as that of steel? This remarkable strength makes bamboo a fitting and exceptionally sustainable material for Tabontabon’s new taxis.

The two vehicles are called the Eco 1 and Eco 2. The Eco 1 seats 20 people and can run on one gallon of biodiesel for about 80 hours. Eco 2 works just as well, but seats around 8. Both vehicles are made by Tabontabon’s out-of-school youth, 90% of each vehicle is made out of bamboo, and they are covered in traditional Filipino woven mats called banig. Both vehicles are operating today – now if we could only get one in blue.

Hope Government will promote this kind of invention...

Career Path

Two months from now is the fast approaching of our graduation day and I think now would be the best time of making plans for my career. After graduation if I will be able to complete my case before it approaches I plan to take the board exam on the month of July. Right after graduation I will be enrolling in a review center by April and I plan to take it here in Davao City. But if ever I won’t be able to complete my cases by March then I plan to take the board exam by November. And after graduation I will stay in manila for the summer. It will be good if I take a vacation before the review for the board exam starts. After taking the board exam on July I will to go to Manila by August and stay there with my sisters for 4 months. While staying in Manila and the result comes up and I receive my license, I plan to take some trainings and seminars there. By January 2011 I will be coming back here in Mindanao and I will continue to take some trainings and seminar and maybe become a volunteer. By June 2011 I will be applying in a tertiary hospital whether in Manila, General Santos or Davao City maybe. The salary that I will be receiving will be divided and half of it I will be giving it to my parents regularly and the other half will go to my savings. I plan to work in a tertiary hospital for 1 year and after that 1 year experience I plan to take the NCLEX. After passing the NCLEX I plan to apply for work in abroad in US maybe and while applying and waiting I will continue to work in a hospital to buy me some time of experience. Three years after graduation I assume that I am already a registered nurse who have undergone many trainings and seminars and also became a volunteer. And who have work in a tertiary hospital for 2 years and have passed the NCLEX. Also in this year I’m already applying for abroad and I’m just waiting to be hired.

I'm only read this career plan from one of the student in Ateneo. I'm really admired to the person who wrote this kind of career path.
