In an attempt to gain awareness for the endangered panda bear, the world's largest giant panda research base in southwest China's Sichuan Province has developed a dung-for-profit scheme that makes souvenirs from the animal's waste. Now you can have odor-free souvenirs ranging from bookmarks to Olympic-themed statues of the animals made especially by the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding center, which houses about 40 bamboo-fed pandas that produce almost a ton of dung a day.

We arrived in the town of Sta. Ana in Cagayan Valley, the northernmost tip town in the Philippines at 3 a. m. in the morning. The first thing we noticed was the eerie sound of the place, or better yet, the lack of any sound of life. There were no lamp post and all we saw was darkness. The only light available was emanating from the vehicle we were using. We drove for another half an hour and still all we saw was darkness, we didn't see any houses or any other living soul. For someone who has lived in the city all his life, the environment in Sta. Ana was a strange one to me. I came from the capital where the city never sleeps and that has been the case even in some provinces I have visited, this is the only town I have been to where all I heard was the sound of silence even at that hour of the morning.
