Darkness Wraps Historic Hall on Earth Hour

Earth Hour 2011 in Dumaguete City can be gleaned from the darkness that wraps for an hour the historic Silliman Hall at the strike of 8:30PM on March 26. Silliman University had a total blackout in observance of Earth Hour, switching off lampposts and lights in all of its buildings and residential units.

At night, energy-efficient lighting brightens up its facade. (Read background story: http://beta.su.edu.ph/article/90-Website-Joins-Countdown-to-Earth-Hour)
