"The Change Starts With You"

For how many years, we have seen how people neglected and ignored their waste, with no proper disposal and lack of responsibility. People's ignorance towards the environment and its effect is now little by little being visible in our sights. The numerous plastics and other waste materials covering rivers, floods in various urban areas because of trash trapped in drainage, and harming different species in land, water and air.

The global effect of neglected wastes and improper waste disposal is very dangerous to our environment and our health. We need to fight this harmful effects for us and our environment to be safe. We can help to combat these problems by simply practicing the proper waste disposal through separating the biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials, the usage of biodegradable materials in daily life, helping different programs and organizations that aims to guide people, protect the environment, and advocates cleanliness in the environment.

We can only achieve our goals for the environment, especially for waste management, if we have unity, responsibility for our actions, and are eager to achieve these goals. Change our ways to combat improper waste disposal. change to help.

"The Battle of Bataan: The Bataan Death March"

The Battle of Bataan happened during the World War II, began on January 6, 1942 and ended on April 9, 1942 as the Bataan troops surrendered. After the Filipino and American Bataan troops surrendered to the Japanese troops, the Bataan Death March happened. Most of the prisoners(Bataan troops) began the long walk in Mariveles, at the tip of Bataan, and had to march the full 66 miles to the rail head; others joined along the way.

Many of the prisoners were battle worn and incapable of keeping up the grueling pace of the march, especially in the tropical heat and with little water.

The Philippines is very vulnerable to disasters, it is one of the natural hazard-prone countries in the world. The country is highly prone to natural disasters like earthquakes, tropical cyclones, floods, and volcanic eruptions. Destructions of agricultural products, houses, and government properties always happen after a disaster. But Filipinos will try to overcome this suffering and traumatic disaster experience, showing their resiliency. In an article written by Pamela, she stated that “Every time, the Filipino nation has to endure, brave the chaos, and stand up the next day. It is from this that we’ve grown to be called a resilient nation. Because we have had to become one.” Being resilient is not a bad thing, but we tend to forget that we’re supposed to be striving for something more. What we need to do af...
