JUAN FOR TREES (143s) WINNERS
First Place (Php100.000. 00 and Plaque):
E-TREE OF LIFE/E-TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
The basic concept of the design, which is an electronic-tree from discarded computer equipment, is the idea that while we have advanced in knowledge through Information Technology, we are also sapping the very life out of our fragile environment.
The design titled "E-TREE OF LIFE/E-TREE OF KNOWLEDGE", draws inspiration from the biblical trees, with the thought that the computer as a tree produces fruits of "knowledge" in the form of processed information contained in various storage media, like compact discs, but the same tree draws life resources through its roots, in the form of power plugs, from the environment.
The "E-TREE OF LIFE/E-TREE OF KNOWLEDGE" hopes to present that to sustain our IT advancement we must not neglect nature but to nurture it.
Artists: Victrixia Maryam Montes, Liza Apilado
Second Place (Php75.000.00 and Plaque):
PLAYGROUND
A group of youngsters bathing in the murky waters of Manila Bay … Young trash pickers playing on top of a garbage landfill beside their houses… A couple of boys rummaging for plastic bottles and useful junk along the highways.
"Playground" wishes to invoke these all-too-familiar scenes into the minds of the viewers in an attempt to draw lines of connections between the widespread poverty in our country, the declining environmental conditions and our current inability to deal with both. It casts a critical eye towards a society that allows its youngest and most vulnerable members of society to live alongside polluted rivers and streams, allows them access to mountains of hazardous waste materials and fails to provide them with safe and sanitary surroundings.
Our environmental problems, how we respond to them and how we are affected by them, are ultimately tied to poverty. More often than not, those with the fewest resources on hand are the ones who bear the brunt of the worst environmental degradations — and are left to fend for themselves.

Third Place (Php50.000.00 and Plaque):
THIRST SCRAPS
Beverage products abound. Grocery shelves are stacked with all types of beverages- bottled water, juice drinks, alcoholic beverages, etc.
Quenching ones thirst is a physiological necessity.
However, people must realize that with every bottle of drink we consume, we deplete the resources needed by nature to sustain itself. With every plastic bottle we throw away, we compromise the health of our environment. In essence, we are slowly drinking the life out of our planet.
