Newscaster: Here, LIVE, is our *ahem* "four" *ahem* presidents - President Beauty, President Browser, President OliveR.Queen, and President Master-Sensei of the Republic of the Eco-Spot, for their sauna- *ahem* I mean SONA or The State of the Nature Address. Let us welcome our first president, President Beauty!
Pres. Beauty: Greetings my dear subjects, uh... Citizens! As your *cough* evil *cough* just and kind president, I am concerned about our welfare, especially your welfare, dear citizens. NAtionwide, power rates have been out of control, which some people cannot afford. Somehow, the only way to "save" money is to open the BNPP (Bataan Nuclear Power Plant). I can assure you that BNPP is safe, and far from abandoned, which is in fact, well maintained. I recall, the "DOST head", my "mentor", and my most trusted "advisor", The Urban Guru taking our sixth grade - uh, I mean President grade class on a field trip to BNPP and PCC (Pawikan Conservation Center).
Unfortunately, the BNPP, which is 8 min. away from the Morong beach, the nesting place of endangered CUTE Pawikan MIGHT, and WILL AFFECT these Pawikan, if BNPP will open. I know that if we open BNPP, it will get us through our power crisis, but there will be BIGGER consequences if we open BNPP. Because IF we open BNPP, there is always a possibility, no matter how well maintained, and well built the BNPP is, it MIGHT explode, making PCC, and its Pawikan... extinct. And also, the pollution and radioactive stuff might spread, also killing nearby people.
Therefore, I conclude that the BNPP should be closed. I know it is grave, but it would be Gravy- uh... much grave to make the Pawikans extinct. But we could pray that God will help us solve the electrifying crisis we have today.You can choose to cry or comply.
Thank you dear minion- *ahem* citizens! Thank you and this is Pres. Beauty!
Newscaster: Next, is Pres. Browser.
Pres. Browser: Greetings my people! I am King Bowse- I mean President Browser, and I am going to have my SONA.
Like Pres. Beauty, I will side with her by keeping BNPP out of service! I know it is very absurd, but it should be done to protect my dear Koopas - or Pawikan, since they are a creation of God. So, there is not really much to talk about since Pres. Beauty almost said everything, but for this oil price problem, I, with my fellow Pres. friends (and The Urban Guru!), am going to try to solve the problem! And that is all! The Pres. Is OUT!!!
Newscaster: Third is Pres. OliverR.Queen.
Pres. OliveR.Queen: My friends, assets, allies, etc., I come here to give you my SONA. And so I shall!
My first 2 co-presidents stated that they are against the opening of the BNPP. I, however, am for the opening of this nuclear power plant! We are at a time of crisis.. POWER CRISIS!!! Our only solution is to open our mothballed BNPP for the restoration of POWER!! Because what is proper development and progress of country without POWER!?! Though my co-presidents say that in any critical accident, an explosion could occur and may lead to several deaths, I say that our power plant is safe and stable enough for continuous power production. It is built on high ground so it will not be affected by floods or tsunamis. Though an accident can have its consequences (like in Chernobyl), if we take the right cautionary measures, we can help the BNPP do its "thing" properly. This is the sign, the answer that we should have give BNPP - the chance others never gave before. Imagine all the power we can have. The cut-down prices with MORE POWER even without this crisis. I say.... OPEN.. THE POWER PLANT!!!! POWER!!! Oh, and I don't have cough problems like the Pres. Beauty and Pres. Browser!
Newscaster: Right. And now lastly, Pres. M-.....
Pres OliveR.Queen: THE BNPP IS TOO POWERFUL TO LET MY SPEECH END!!! BLOCK (blocks something), AIR KICK (kicks at empty space with just air), EXPLOSION!!!
PA PA PA PA PA PA POWER!!... That is all. Thank you.
Newscaster: Alright. And finally Pres. Master-Sensei.
Pres.Master-Sensei: Yes, I would open BNPP for it will give out energy for the country and pay less electricity tax. Most of all, opening this will help the country to be rich in oil. I will open it for more energy in the Philippines, though I will feel sorry for the marine turtles who will be affected.
Newscaster: Straight to the point. Well, you heard their adresses. What's yours? This is Eco Spot Newscaster saying goodbye and good luck!
Note: Seeing that there was a deadlock, the four presidents agreed on a win-win solution for both sides. Only after ensuring the safety and sound operation of the BNPP will it be opened - safety to humans and the surrounding environment using the latest in science and technology. Also, the nesting site for the pawikan population of Morong should be relocated.
The Eco Spot: And this is the end of the SONA, thanks for reading it! God bless!
The Eco Spot: Pssttt!!! Here are some pics of the informational lecture and tour in BNPP:

I wonder if how this post would have ended IF you've made a video instead? Exciting, ayt? It could have been better… I mean, GREAT.
And by the way, YOU CANNOT RELOCATE THE NESTING SITE OF MARINE TURTLES. Can you ask a turtle to choose where it should lay its egg?
Cool. Cool.
