Climate change and the Resiliency of the Filipino



 Climate change is one of the biggest problems we have today, and the Philippines is one of the most affected. Sudden changes in the weather, like stronger typhoons, heavy flooding, and very hot days, are becoming more common. These happen mostly because of pollution, deforestation, and too much use of resources that harm the environment.



Because of these problems, many Filipinos suffer. Families lose their homes after storms, farmers struggle to grow crops during long dry seasons, and coastal areas face the risk of rising sea levels. These situations make life harder, especially for the poor, who have less resources to get.


But even with all these challenges, Filipinos are known to be strong. The spirit of bayanihan—helping each other in times of need—shows how people can come together after disasters. Communities rebuild, share resources, and give hope to someone despite the difficulties.



However, resiliency is not enough if the environment continues to get worse. There is a need for stricter laws to protect nature, better waste management, and more awareness about climate change. Working together as a nation can make a big difference in preparing for future disasters.



In the end, climate change is a problem that affects everyone, but the strength and unity of Filipinos give hope that we can go through it. If we care for the environment and practice simple acts of responsibility every day, we can make our country more resilient, not just against disasters, but for future generations too.

What Describes Ivan

  I'm someone who lives in an energetic life. I love working out, wether it's through sorts or training. Being athletic helps me stay focused and confident in everything I do. Standing at 5'6, I may not be the tallest, but I really am not. Sports and exercise ain't just hobbies for me because they're part of my everyday routine. Music is another huge part of my self. I'm passionate about listening to different music, exploring new sounds and most of all, playing guitar. There's something about music that helps me express what I can't say in words. Playing guitar is a simple way of connecting with anything deeper. I can spend hours getting lost in the melody of the song, especially when I'm learning something new. Music brings me  peace focus and joy which feels like a second language to me. I also enjoy things that can sharpen my mind, like playing chess. It's a game of strategy, patience and skills that I apply to life from the board. I love how...

My Second Quarter Experience

Image
  During second quarter, I learned about something like being consistent and becoming serious in going for my goals. I learned more lessons in each subject, which helped me strengthen my knowledge and to improve my study habits or skills. I also learned that learning is easier if I listen carefully in classes, take notes, and review them not every time but regularly. One of the challenges I faced was dealing with pressure and stress from having too much responsibilities like joining a lot of events which can make me very busy some times. There were times when assignments from other teachers were given at the same time, and I felt tired by trying to accomplish everything. I also had problems with having endurance for academics and or my habits. Having expectations from my self, my family, and my teachers—sometimes led me to question whether I was capable of doing it all. These were times of trial for my discipline and mental toughness. To overcome these difficulties, I created a per...
