It's Time for a Change, Let us Mitigate Climate Change

 Climate change poses significant challenges to the lives of many Filipinos, primarily due to the country's geographic location. The Philippines is located in a region prone to extreme weather events, such as typhoons and heavy rainfall, which have become increasingly frequent and severe due to climate change. These natural disasters lead to loss of lives. The impact of these events is felt most acutely by those in low-income areas, where resources for recovery are limited.

Another one contributing to environmental changes is innovation and the increasing demand for energy. As cities expand and populations grow, the reliance on fossil fuels increase, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions. This not only contributes to climate change but also increases the vulnerability of places to flooding and heatwaves. 


Lastly, the lack of effective leaders and implementation of climate adaptation strategies obstructs the Philippines' ability to respond to these challenges. While initiatives like the Climate Change Commission and the People's Survival Fund have been established, there are still obstacles to effective solutions.

The Rain, A Reflection of Myself

Droplets falling, and falling. It is the rain that has been fascinating me due to its rhythmical sounds on the roof and soothing melody by soil downed out of the ground, as the smell lingers through the air. But on a much more profound level, though, the importance that the rain holds for me is that it mirrors who I am inside. It represents my feelings that is spilling over with thoughts and emotions. Just like the rain keeps falling from up abov e, so are the thoughts and emotions sometimes overwhelming inside me. At times, one does not know just how the rain is going to be, and just like that, confusion knocks on the door, and it can get out of hand. For a moment, the bright sunshine might come out, and before you know it, dark clouds gather and unleash their wrath. There, the same goes for my mood, it behaves just like that, smooth one moment, then starts to grow turbulent, and at that very moment, I get lost, and things happening around me make no sense.
