 Reference:https://www.shutterstock.com/search/group-filipino-people Climate Change and the Resiliency of Filipinos It is undeniable that climate change is one of the biggest threats the contemporary world is facing today and it even more so in the Philippines. The average temperature is rising, the number of typhoons in a year has increased, the rain fall is erratic and tides are going higher than before. As a result, there has been a lot of destruction. Environmental shifts such as these have, in many cases, affected agriculture, infrastructure and sources of income along with water bodies in the rural and coastal areas of the Philippines. Owning to its archipelagic geography, natural calamities are frequent in the Philippines and with the phenomenon of climate change billions get added into the already existing damage.

Violence against children is pervasive in many forms and ranges from physical abuse, emotional, sexual abuse, neglect as well as exploitation. Such acts do not only breach their rights but also most importantly prevent them from developing into healthy productive individuals raised in a conducive environment. Making a child-friendly safe Philippines entails a lot of things. Different stakeholders such as families, schools and the pacific and safe communities should come together and most importantly create an environment where children feel safe and cared for. This means that the relevant governm...

Thematic

As a student, I can help the environment by doing small things every day. Like: I picked up trash to keep our surroundings clean, prevent pollution, and protect wildlife. Trash, especially plastic, can harm animals and plants, pollute water sources, and make the environment unhealthy for humans. I planted trees and plants to improve air quality, provide habitats for wildlife, and combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. Plants also help prevent soil erosion and maintain the balance of ecosystems. I recycled to reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and save energy. Recycling materials like paper, glass, and plastic reduces the need to produce new products from raw materials, which in turn decreases pollution and energy consumption. I spread awareness to educate people about the importance of protecting the environment. By sharing information, we encourage others to take action, make sustainable choices, and collectively reduce environmental damage. Reference: https://www.b...

Reflection

Image
I learned a lot in this first quarter. I’ve gained new knowledge and skills, especially the history of technology and how to make blog. Making blogs makes me learned about myself and our community, and I feel more confident applying what I've learned.   I faced many challenges especially in managing and balancing schoolwork with personal life. Sometimes, I felt overwhelmed with deadlines and assignments, which made it hard to stay organized and focused. I started using a planner to stay on track and asked for help when I needed it. I also been hardworking in these past few days, doing my assignments and my tasks on time.  Moving forward, I’ll keep working on time management and staying organized, while also making sure to balance study and rest for the next quarter.

Towards a Stronger Philippines

Image
  Understanding the Causes and Responses The Philippines faces many natural disasters because of its location. Typhoons, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions happen regularly, with around 20 typhoons hitting the country each year. Climate change is making these disasters worse, causing stronger storms and rising sea levels. Rapid urban growth and deforestation have also increased the country's vulnerability, as cities expand into areas that are more likely to experience floods or landslides. These challenges make it difficult for the Philippines to protect its people and economy from disaster impacts. In response, the government has taken steps to manage these risks. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) coordinates disaster response efforts, while local communities are trained in disaster preparedness. The government has also built better infrastructure, such as flood control systems, to reduce the damage caused by storms and other disasters. However,...
