 Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change.The Philippines, an archipelago of over 7,000 islands, is acutely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The predominant reasons for sudden and progressive environmental changes adversely affecting Filipinos stem from a confluence of factors, both natural and human-induced.  Firstly, the country's geographical location in the typhoon belt makes it highly susceptible to increasingly intense and frequent typhoons, super typhoons, and other extreme weather events. Climate change exacerbates these natural hazards, leading to stronger winds, heavier rainfall, and more destructive storm surges.

I remembered "Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan" is a line that was delivered by the national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal which I, myself agreed. So I believe that we must care for children responsibly.  Creating a safe environment for them requires all of us or basically, it requires collaboration. We need to make a culture of respect and protection for children, where reporting abuse is normalized and victims recei...

By taking action today and every day, we can have a healthier environment in the future. Practicing cleanliness can make a difference for us. It is our responsibility to leave a clean environment for the next generation. Watering plants is one of the best way to take care the environment. It involves providing the right amount of moisture to support their growth. Planting plants like tree provide everything we need in our life such as shelter, decreases calamities, it gives fresh air and etc. Sweeping everyday helps prevent the accumulation of pollutio...
