A Nation Under Fire

                                                             

                      

      The Philippines is a beautiful island nation and like and other part of the globe, it is warming at an alarming rate. There are no ifs or buts about it; the world is heating up and the Philippines is bearing the brunt of this abuse and mismanagement. Due to the ever-increasing sea levels, house inundations have become a common sight and fishing or farming is fast becoming an unreachable dream. Cyclones and Typhoons are no longer a seasonal occurrence and rather have become frequent calamities destroying infrastructure, businesses and rendering people into poverty. With the temperature of the sea water rising and the acidity levels steaming, the ocean life and coral reefs which are critical to people’s lives are on the edge. In addition, the burgeoning population is cutting down trees, loosening the soil and turning potential agricultural land into a wasteland.

But the Filipinos remain steadfast! They turn to ancient methods of surviving which are no longer in practice in other parts of the world. Commander communities are building defenses, carrying out afforestation, and even gathering water. They are also using modern phones to inform people of incoming tornadoes and have started using science to sustainably heat food.

However, the situation begs for further amelioration. There should be better regulations by the states around environmental protection of their land and adaptation to climate extremes. We have our oceans full of plastic and other polluting materials and we have countries like the Philippines that are defenseless. We need to come together as one unity in order to be able to have a sustainable future where everyone can enjoy.

Thematic Q2

Image
This quarter taught me much about handling pressure, whether in school or sports. I learned that planning my time really helps me balance everything. It also showed me how important it is to stay positive and focused, even when things are tough. That's helped me feel more confident, whether I'm studying or playing. The biggest problem was the pressure from both school and sports. It seemed like a lot to handle sometimes lots of homework and tough practices. I sometimes doubted myself, especially before big tests or games. All that pressure made it hard to do my best in both areas.  To cope with this, I started using a planner for everything. This ensured that I had enough time for both study and practice. I learned to breathe deep and think of success while in tests and games as ways to keep my nerves calm. Talking to my friends and coaches really helped when I was feeling stressful, as they gave me support and advice. I will continue improving my time management skills. ...

Protection Violence About Children

Image
  Protecting Children, Creating a Safe Philippines"-surely proves to be a call to action, a power that stands to awaken the Filipino people to the reality of protecting our children and creating a safe environment where they would grow and thrive. This is a serious problem we need to acknowledge in the Philippines-violence against children-is not alright and needs to be stopped by all means. We ought to show information on various forms of violence: from corporal, overt abuse to neglect and exploitation. We have to promote positive parenting and support families in need. We can only speak so much, but we have to act. That means strengthening child protection systems, providing support services for children who were hurt, and making sure perpetrators are held accountable. Together, we can break the cycle of violence and create a Philippines where every child is safe and can really reach his or her full potential.
