 The Philippines, a lively collection of over 7,000 islands, holds a front-row seat in the struggle against climate change. Its particular geography, dependence on agriculture and fishing, and penchant for wild weather make it especially vulnerable to the climate crisis's outcomes. Even though the country emits a small portion of the world's greenhouse gases, its people suffer the extreme weather ramping up as the world warms. 


Climate change is the main cause of sudden ecological changes, and these changes are affecting Filipinos negatively. This threat is not distant and it is a present reality that shows itself in several devastating ways. Greenhouse gas emissions are driving rising global temperatures and supercharging the hydrological cycle: this leads to more intense typhoons and unpredictable rainfall patterns that cause both severe droughts and devastating floods while also accelerating sea-level rise—this creates many challenges for our planet. These events are not isolated because they connect as symptoms of a warming planet.

Filipinos show resilience in spite of these challenges and are known for it. They change to changing conditions for a long time and this spirit shows in how they respond to climate change. Communities are creating adaptation initiatives like building seawalls and planting mangroves while also developing drought-resistant crops across the country. Better communication and early warning systems enable communities to prepare for natural disasters and respond effectively.

Through my experiences this quarter, I learned the importance of persistence and asking for help when I'm struggling. I made use of online tutorials and peer discussions to improve my understanding of networking concepts. I also learned that breaking down tasks into smaller steps can help make large projects more manageable. I’ve also learned that digital literacy goes beyond just using tools; it's about understanding how those tools and technologies work behind the scenes. At first, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of tags and their specific functions. It felt like a whole new language! But as I started to break it down, the logic became clearer. I know this is just the beginning of my HTML journey. There's always more to learn, new tags to discover, and innovative ways to use them. I'm excited to keep exploring and building my skills. I realized that HTML tags are all about structure - they define the framework of a webpage, laying out the content and organizi...

As we celebrate the earth month, a reminder that our planet needs our constant care and attention. It is important to our nature we must take care of it because little by little our nature is being destroyed so we must take care of it so we must do the things in the picture. We should plant trees and not cut them because it is important for nature because the trees are gradually balding in the forest. Recycling is a simple way to make a big difference for the planet. Don't waste water, you should make it habit to close the taps well. Pick up all the trash that can be found in the environment and throw it in the proper trash.

THEMATIC QUARTER 2

  Violence against women (VAW) remains a pervasive global issue, affecting millions and hindering progress towards gender equality. The Philippines, like many nations, has enacted legislation to combat this problem. This discussion will focus on two key Republic Acts—RA 8353 (The Anti-Rape Law of 1997) and RA 7877 (The Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995)—examining their significance in addressing different forms of VAW and their impact on promoting women's safety and rights. RA 8353, the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, represents a landmark piece of legislation in the Philippines. Prior to its enactment, the legal definition of rape was narrow and often failed to encompass the diverse experiences of survivors. RA 8353 broadened the definition, explicitly recognizing various forms of sexual assault and increasing the penalties for perpetrators. This strengthened the legal framework for prosecuting rape cases and provided a more comprehensive legal protection for victims. Subsequent am...
