Climate Action for Filipino Resilience

The Philippines is one of the countries that suffer most from the effects of climate change. Due to the negative issues in the environment, which have either happened or gradually

developed over a period of time, many people in the Philippines have been affected. This does not only happen in the households or the communities but their economic activities and health as well.

These changes in the environment, especially the ones that have taken place within a period of time can be attributed to the activities of man. This includes practices such as deforestation, pollution, over employment of the natural resources. For instance, farming andconstruction activities that involve clearing trees increases the floods because the soil cannot hold much water. Pollution as a result of industries and automobiles, for example, global warming effects, encourages water levels to rise and creates stronger typhoons. These problems complicate the process of rehabilitation after calamities for households.

Yet in the face of these problems, the people of the Philippines have kept amazing courage. People do not return to their normal lives but come together to mend everything after disasters, and many parents work out possibilities for their children within the altered circumstances. Initiatives such as disaster response training, reforestation and improving agricultural practices also contributed. However, these approaches require integration in one system if we want to build sustainable solutions, they should demand increased collective effort. There is need for the government, businesses and individuals to join hands in behaving in a way that minimizes damaging activities to the environment.

Last but not least, entering the climate change debate with solutions that tackle the issue beyond the crisis, and highlight sustainability practices, will in the end help the Philippines create a society that will not only adapt but will flourish in balance with the environment. Everyone, let us bear in mind our duty to conserve the environment not just for today but for the next generations.

A Second Quarter Reflection

During the second quarter, I gained a deeper understanding of HTML, which forms the backbone of website creation. I learned about the two kinds of tags in HTML: the container tags which require opening and closing tags together and the empty tags which stand alone. The structure of an HTML document had been taught to include tags such as <html>, <head>, and <body>. Beyond that, I could learn about heading tags which create titles, formatting tags to change the style of texts and give horizontal rules for dividing sections, and I also learned the look of a webpage through backgrounds, fonts, and tag attributes. Furthermore, I have learned how to include images, create frames, and prepare tables that organize and present information differently. This ensured that I had the courage to create very simple yet functional web pages. I have also been challenged in learning. Remembering the right syntax for many tags and attributes was a significant problem for me. Sometimes, ...

A Cleaner Tomorrow Starts Today (Thematic Output)

National Clean Up Month is a nationwide initiative aimed at promoting environmental care and sustainability. It highlights the importance of community participation in keeping our surroundings clean and reducing waste. By joining hands, we can make a significant impact on our environment and inspire others to take action. In the picture , you’ll find me watering the plants in the garden, a relaxing yet important part of caring for the environment. With a gentle stream of water, I make sure to nourish the plants without wasting too much. As I stand there, I think about how every drop counts in maintaining the health of not just these plants but also our ecosystem. Watering them efficiently is essential to conserving water while keeping our green spaces alive and thriving. It also reminds me that taking care of plants is like caring for the Earth it requires attention, effort, and respect for natural resour...
