Climate Change and the Resiliency of Filipinos


The Philippines faces significant challenges from climate change, including stronger typhoons, rising sea levels, and unpredictable weather patterns. These issues are caused by deforestation, pollution, rapid urbanization, and reliance on fossil fuels, all of which worsen environmental degradation and harm vulnerable communities.  Deforestation weakens natural defenses against floods and landslides, while pollution damages ecosystems and threatens livelihoods. Global warming intensifies extreme weather events and disrupts agriculture, leading to poverty and displacement. Unplanned urbanization worsens flooding, and fossil fuel dependence accelerates global warming.   

To address these issues, the country must focus on reforestation, renewable energy, pollution control, and disaster preparedness. Filipinos have shown great resilience, but proactive measures are essential to protect future generations and ensure a sustainable future.

Reflection on Learning HTML Basics

Image
As I look back on learning HTML, I realize how much I've learned about building webpages. HTML is the foundation of every website, and understanding its basic structure has been really important. I started by learning about the basic tags, like <html> , <head> , and <body> . These tags form the structure of a webpage, with <html> being the root, <head> for information like the title, and <body> for the content you see on the page. I also learned about semantic HTML, which means using the right tags for the right content. For example, <h1> for headings, <p> for paragraphs, and <a> for links. Another key lesson was working with attributes. For example, using href to link to another page or src to add an image. These attributes help control how things look and work on the page. Overall, learning HTML has given me a strong foundation in web development. I’m excited to build on this knowledge and start learning CSS and JavaSc...

The Significance of Laws in Ending Violence Against Women

Image
Violence Against Women (VAW) remains a significant issue in the Philippines, with nearly 1 in 5 women affected, according to the 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey. The Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children (VAWC) Act of 2004, or R.A. 9262, plays a vital role in protecting women from various forms of abuse, including physical, emotional, and sexual violence. This law, along with the annual 18-day Campaign to End VAW, raises awareness and promotes accountability in addressing VAW.  Other laws, like R.A. 8353 (the Anti-Rape Law of 1997) and R.A. 11313 (the Safe Spaces Act of 2019), strengthen the fight against gender-based violence. R.A. 8353 redefines rape and includes marital rape, while the Safe Spaces Act tackles harassment in public spaces and online, creating safer environments for women.    These laws, combined with ongoing awareness campaigns, empower women to seek justice, hold perpetrators accountable, and promote a culture of respect. The 18...
