Draft 2/Blog Post No. 2: Climate Change and Filipino Resilience

Climate change has severely changed the lives of many Filipinos in sudden disasters and gradual changes in the environment. Being one of the world's most vulnerable countries to climate change, it frequently undergoes extreme weather events like typhoons, floods, and droughts. Calamities displace families, destroy livelihoods, and disrupt access to basic needs, which calls for urgent action on the root causes of climate change.

Some of the causes of environmental degradation in this country include the destruction of forests, pollution, and unsustainable agricultural practices. Shrinkage of forests and rise in the sea level only make coastal and mountainous communities suffer from the changes. And however grueling the situation is, the resilience of Filipinos proves itself as the nation strives to go on. They continuously adapt to new realities-from developing early warning systems to implementing sustainable practices. Communities are finding ways to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

However, resilience alone is not enough. The government and private sectors must work together in implementing long-term solutions, such as switching to renewable energy, improving disaster preparedness, and making people aware of their participation in climate action. Each small step undertaken now contributes to a future where Filipinos not only survive but thrive in the face of climate change. Together, we can protect our environment and ensure a safer tomorrow for the next generation.

Q2 Reflection

Image Source Basic knowledge of HTML has always been an enlightening moment as it provided a simple basis of how websites work and are created. As far as I know, I learned that HTML means HyperText Markup Language or is the backbone of every page. It defines its contents and layout. I have learned how important syntax and structure are in coding by using tags and elements like <html> , <head> , <body> , and <p> . Through hands-on practice, I was able to create simple web pages with text, images, and links, showing how each line of code contributed to the final visual output. This understanding of HTML has given me the confidence to explore web development further. I also realized the usage of attributes in personalizing an element and, therefore improving its functionality. Attributes, such as src , href , and alt , opened my eyes to how HTML combines the simple with versatility to generate an interactive, user-friendly web page. It was surprising how form...

Building Connections: Reflection and Lessons Learned from Our Community-Based Research Project

Through this community-based research (CBR) project, I have learned a lot about how to study real-life problems in the community. I learned how to use research methods and work with the community to collect important information. Working on the web design was also a great experience because I manage to improve my previous skills on how to make websites that are easy to use and show information clearly. This project also showed me how important it is to work together as a team, because everyone has different skills and ideas to share. In the end, this project helped me get better at both research and web design while also learning how to involve the community better. One of the problems I faced was making sure the web design looks good and is easy to use for many different people. It was hard to balance making the website fun to look at and making sure it was easy to navigate. Another problem was getting enough good data for the research, since working with the community took a l...
