Bayanihan Amidst the Climate Crisis

Climate change is one of the biggest problems facing Filipinos today. The environment changes suddenly through strong typhoons or slowly through rising temperatures. One main reason is deforestation, or cutting too many trees, which leads to flooding and landslides. Another is pollution from factories and vehicles, which makes the air dirty and traps heat, causing global warming.

Poor waste management also adds to the problem. Many rivers and canals are blocked by garbage, making floods worse during heavy rains. The use of fossil fuels like coal and oil for energy also increases harmful gases in the air. These environmental problems affect many Filipinos, especially poor families living in areas that are most at risk of disasters.

Even with these challenges, Filipinos are known for their resiliency. After disasters, people help each other and find ways to recover. However, resiliency alone is not enough. The government and citizens must work together to solve the root problems by protecting forests, managing waste properly, and supporting cleaner sources of energy.

In the end, climate change will continue to affect us, but its impact can be lessened if we act now. As students and citizens, we can do small things to help, like planting trees, saving energy, and caring for our environment. True resiliency is not just about surviving disasters, but also about preparing for a safer and stronger future for the Philippines.

Battle of the best!

 

Let’s be real, esports during this year’s intrams was on another level. From the non-stop action in Mobile Legends to the high-pressure gunfights in Call of Duty, every match had us at the edge of our seats. And now that it’s all over, one thing’s for sure: all that hard work seriously paid off.

You could tell how much effort each team put in. From the way they coordinated every move, to the last clutch ult in ML or the perfectly timed rush in COD, these weren’t just random players queuing up. These were teams who trained, practiced, and grinded together to get to this moment.

And honestly, you could see it on their faces. The focus, the pressure, the relief after every win, and even the frustration after a tough loss. It was all real. But that’s what made it exciting. These weren’t just games. They were battles. Moments where teammates turned into brothers and sisters, and strategies made all the difference.

Especially during the finals, the atmosphere was crazy. The facilitators were hyped, the crowd was loud, and the plays were insane. Some teams walked away with medals. But honestly, everyone walked away with respect. Respect for the grind, the sportsmanship, and the passion it takes to be part of something like this.

This year’s esports scene proved that it's not just about physical sports anymore. Digital battles are just as intense and just as worth celebrating.Until next time, keep grinding, keep improving, and most importantly, keep playing.
