Di pinggir bandar Manila, terdapat 3 juta rumah tanpa bekalan elektrik. Sekarang kerajaan Filipina menjalankan kerjasama dengan MIT untuk membekalkan lampu menggunakan botol air terpakai untuk memberi cahaya di rumah-rumah yang miskin dan daif di pinggir Manila. Rakyat Filipina jauh lebih miskin dari rakyat Libya, tapi kenapa Amerika dan negara barat menyerang Libya?
Pendapatan per kapita tahunan rakyat Libya pada kedudukan ke 17 di dunia dengan pendapatan tahunan US 12,020 (RM35,909), rakyat Malaysia ke 87 dengan pendapatan tahunan US 7,350 (RM21,958) manakala pendapatan tahunan rakyat Filipina jauh di bawah di tangga ke 154 dengan pendapatan tahunan US 1,790 (RM5,347). Kenapa Libya diserang sekarang ini? Perisikan Tentera Malaysia tak ada maklumat ke kenapa Libya di serang? Kenapa Tunisia, Syria, Mesir bangkit dengan kuasa rakyat? Filipina juga bangkit dengan kuasa rakyat, tetapi kenapa rakyatnya masih miskin, lebih miskin dari rakyat di Libya dan Tunisia? FIKIR-FIKIRKAN ! The National Electrification Commission reported in 2009 that 3 million homes outside Metro Manila still are powerless? Solar bottle bulbs light up homes of Tondo community Wednesday, 27 April 2011 RATHER than complain about the heat this summer, how about harnessing the power of the sun to bring electricity to a poor community? Earlier this month, the Manila city government lit up 120 houses at Baseco Compound in Tondo by installing “solar bottle bulbs” on the roofs. The cheap, solar-powered bulbs are actually just clear plastic soda bottles filled with a mixture of purified water and chlorine or bleach which is commonly used in household cleaning products. Each bottle is then inserted halfway into a hole made on the roof of a house. Sealant is applied to prevent leaks and the end result gives the impression of a small, plastic chimney. The bulb gives off light equivalent to a 55-watt electric lamp as the water inside the bottle refracts sunlight and other exterior light. “We have to save. My husband is a contractual carpenter and we just get by. We have to pay the P800 (RM56) monthly rent in addition to food and water expenses, my grandchild’s milk and other needs,” she says, motioning to a baby sleeping in a cradle. The solar bottle bulb is an innovation developed by students of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The idea is actively being promoted by MyShelter Foundation Inc. in the country under its “Isang Litrong Liwanag–The Solar Bottle Bulb Project” which was launched in San Pedro, Laguna province early this year. The chlorine and bleach “poisons” the water to keep molds from developing so the solution can last up to five years. The use of distilled or purified water is encouraged to keep the water clear for refraction. It only costs P100 (RM7) to P200 (RM14) to make a solar bottle bulb.
