Saving Planet Earth

Who’s Daniel Dingel? Well he’s just another ordinary Filipino with a very extra-ordinary dream! 30 years ago, he created what I believe is the first water-powered car in the world only to find out that his government (which is also my government) won’t support him in his dreams because of some agreement with the IMF and the World Bank. He’s got an invention that works and holds lots of promise not just to the Filipinos but to the world.

Daniel Dingel and his water-powered car

It saddens me to hear that a German company is the one supporting him and not one of the huge Filipino companies. Nonetheless, kudos and thanks to Ethos World GmbH Schweiz - the German company who so kindly helped Daniel Dingel realize his dream. Through a strategic alliance between the Daniel Dingle Foundation and Ethos, Daniel was finally able to sell his products.

I think this is a wake-up call for Filipino inventors and investors alike. I think we should finally take action and not just reminisce in the success of fellow Filipinos. I think we should be pro-active in turning this third-world country called the Philippines into an economic giant.

But what can we do? Is that your question? My dear kababayans, there are a million things that you can do to help this country get up on its feet. No help is coming from the outside because we have all the help we need. You can start by changing the way you think.
