The holidays are always a time of great excitement for me, and this holiday season was no exception. It was a time filled with a wonderful mix of relaxation, adventure, and quality time with loved ones. As soon as the holidays began, I made it a point to catch up on sleep. After months of early mornings and busy schedules, I relished the opportunity to stay in bed a little longer each day. This extra rest did wonders for my energy levels and put me in a great mood for the rest of the day. I enjoyed during the holidays while spending time with my family and friends. We gather at my parents house for delicious meals, play games, and exchange gifts. It was a time of laughter, joy, and togetherness. I especially loved seeing my family open their presents and watching their faces light up with excitement. It was a reminder of the importance of family and the joy that comes from spending time with loved ones. I also made sure to do some of my favorite hobbies like watching movies, reading my...

National Women's Month is a month-long celebration in March honoring women's contributions to society. The celebration aims to recognize women's achievements, inspire future generations, and promote gender equality.  Today, women are breaking barriers in leadership, science, technology, politics, and the arts, proving that gender is not a limitation to success.  However, despite the progress that has been achieved, challenges still persist. Women around the world continue to face gender-based violence, unequal pay, limited access to education, and the pressures of traditional societal roles.  National Women's Month encourages us to celebrate how far we've come, but also to recognize the work that still lies ahead in the pursuit of true gender equality. Through advocacy, awareness, and collective action, we can continue to push for a future where every woman has the opportunity to thrive without discrimination or bias.

Indigenous Peoples Month, celebrated every October, is a vital occasion to honor and recognize the rich cultures, history, and contributions of indigenous communities. In 2024, this observance is particularly meaningful as it marks the 27th anniversary of the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), which was enacted in 1997 to safeguard the rights of indigenous peoples in the Philippines.  This year's celebration emphasizes the importance of valuing, protecting, and honoring indigenous knowledge, wisdom, and traditions.

Climate change has become one of the most pressing issues affecting the Philippines, a country particularly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation. The predominant reasons for sudden or progressive changes in the environment stem largely from human activity, including deforestation, urbanization, and the burning of fossil fuels. These activities contribute to the acceleration of global warming by increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.   In the Philippines, this is compounded by the country’s exposure to natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and droughts, which are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. The resulting environmental shifts rising sea levels, extreme weather patterns, and the loss of biodiversity, adversely affect the livelihoods of millions of Filipinos, especially those in coastal and rural communities who depend heavily on agriculture, fishing, and natural resources for their survival. One of the m...
