The Great Pinoy Peace and Unity Swim

They say "it is better late than never" since the event is already tomorrow, December 10-11, 2010. The event hopes to encourage all Filipinos to learn to swim as a natural activity for one’s health, fitness and safety. Only a small percentage of Filipinos actually know how to swim, a very unfortunate situation in a country where a body of water is barely 20 minutes away. Sen. Nikki Coseteng, president of the Diliman Foundation, Inc.,  is the organizer of the ambitious but doable record-breaking event for the most number of participants to swim 60 feet in relay within 24 hours. The current Guinness would record for the “most number of participants swimming a fixed distance in relay in 24 hours” is held by Italy with 5,028 participants. The Philippines will try to set a new world record with 6,000+ participants. Fore more information and registrationyou can visit the official site of " The Great Pinoy Peace and Unity Swim."

The UAE relies heavily on foreign workers, especially in the private sector. Expatriates make up about 80% of the country’s estimated population of around six million. Cutting the...
