The Wake Up Call

The COVID-19 pandemic sweeping across the world is a crisis of our own making. What’s more, human-caused climate change is making this worse. While we protect ourselves, I would encourage everyone to do as much as possible to also protect nature during this hard time and to be conscious about your impact. Even if we are in our houses we can still take care of our nature even in just little things. Don’t let this pandemic be a hindrance in helping our nature. In the other way around this pandemic gave our nature a break. From a reported drastic improvement in air pollution levels in parts of the world, to the water in canals is some urban areas said to clearing for the first time in decades, from wild animals appearing in and around big cities, to the sweet sound of birdsong in areas where there was none, one thing is clear: nature is enjoying this small break from us, our daily grind and environmental footprint. The virus has given us a good lesson: if we reduce our impact on nature, she will return the favor with fresh air, clean water and bounteous ecosystem services.

 

Mother nature has given us a strong signal through this pandemic:  we must change our habits and slow down if we are going to continue living on this planet. It is a perfect time to make people realize on a global level that flattening the curve of climate change and environmental destruction is just as important as flattening the curve for COVID-19. It’s a perfect time to formulate and refine your ideas and put the planning and strategy in place to make them happen.

Smiles Painted On Our Face

Resilience is the best word to describe the filipino people in times of hardship. Many people around the world paint us as a cluster of smiling faces amid the face of hard times. This display a national representation of  a sturdy nation, a nation who bounces back swiftly with a gag and smile as their weapon.  This sight somehow raise the courage of every person that everything will be all right soon. For me resilience has also been argumentative. Many people be likely to dismiss hardships that we are dealing in our daily lives. Since we are “matatag” we often ignore the threat in an arrival of another occasion and always do the samething over again. If you protest about the problem people may see you weak or “maarte”, well people won’t help ,  they will pull you down even more and that is one of the worst attitude of filipinos “ crab mentality”.  As our nation face different natural phenomena our Government move beyond the immediate response to the affected areas.

A Woman: Not “Just” a Woman

“There is no limit to what we, as woman can accomplish “an inspired encouraging words from Michelle Obama. Stereotyping because of what our culture and tradition practices caged the belief of what already a woman can do. Passed by next generations who are curios and pleasing the change of mindset of aged people.  Do we deserved this because we are entitled as woman? Or it is just their standards of what a woman is expected to be.? Many of those well-known individuals apparently empowering women stand the rights already of what is their place in the society. Most descriptions to them are fighters and inspiration. Maybe they are suck up to the idea of the limitations of their actions and voices. Yet it is a fact that, we have the variety and diversity of perceptions on “what and how an empowering woman can be”. I respect the idea that you can call an empowered woman even she chooses to stay home, to be with her family, to be a full time mother, well that’s noble, she’s empowered be...

Let as all be the Superior

Image
 During the old years leaders has been responsible for deciding the role of womn in the society.  During this years, men  have been the superior while have been midiocre. Society has this creed that women are sole laborers and household workers and they weren’t granted the same opportunity as men. In todays world, women can now do many things that are one time were considered offensive. Becuase of the many many amazing women and their fight to be treated equal, women now have a lot of opportunities that weren’t available before. Women would not be where they are today if they would not fight for their rights. The entire history of the right for women to be trated equal takes twist and turns but eventually turned out alright.
