Resiliency of the Filipino has no match for Climate Change

Image
          Climate change has become one of the most destructive challenges facing the Philippines today. As a country located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, near the equator, and the typhoon belt, the Philippines is naturally vulnerable to natural hazards. However, the increasing frequency and intensity of typhoons, rising sea levels, floods, and droughts are no longer just natural occurrences—they are worsened by human-induced climate change. According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2024 was the warmest year on record, with ocean warming playing a major role in intensifying storms and disrupting weather patterns. One of the reasons for these environmental changes is the continued emission of greenhouse gases from industrial activities, transportation, burning of plastics, and deforestation. Urbanization and poor waste management also contribute to environmental degradation, especially in coastal and low-lying areas. These factors have led to more ...

My First Quarter Reflection

               The first quarter of Grade 10 has been a rollercoaster. It was tiring, stressful, and sometimes confusing—but it also helped me grow. I met many different people: classmates with different personalities, teachers with different styles, and students with different dreams. It wasn’t always easy, but I’ve learned that all of this is part of life. Every experience has a reason, and every challenge teaches us something.                This quarter, I learned many new things that I didn’t know before. My knowledge grew, and I was able to understand topics that used to confuse me. Particularly, in ICT 10, I discovered a lot about the internet. I learned about: The timeline of the internet—how it started and how it grew over time, the first email ever sent and when the word “internet” was first used, the history of the internet in the Philippines, and the people who helped build it, differ...
