Humans vs. Earth

                Our Environment is one or the most important thing in our life. It is where we live; our life is dependent to the environment. Our needs like water, shelter, and food comes from our surroundings which is the Environment. Many of us have problems. If I ask someone what is their problem, somehow they are going to tell me they are lack of money but what if we ask Earth?

                Earth is older than us in fact Earth is 4.543 billion years old while us humans are only 200,000 years old living here. But take a minute to see what we have done, extinction of animals, and destruction of our environment. We humans entitled our selves us Homo sapiens meaning modern human or a wise man but are we really wise? With these doings are we really wise? For the past years we humans invented many technologies not just technologies but advance technologies enough to explore the space but are these technologies really have a good effect on our environment? Some are yes. Luckily, the government are doing some solutions to lessen pollutions like the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Global Warming and Climate Change consciousness Week under proclamation No. 1667 , series of 2008, different agencies and organizations  around the country conduct different activities annually to raise awareness  on climate change  and environmental protection in our communities every third week of November. This is the example of what are their doing. Hopefully, every humans on Earth will cooperate and these activities will lessen the destruction of our environment. We humans are the destroyer of our own source of Life. While doing this blog, I began to question myself that is these are miracle or just a coincidence that we are positioned not near the sun so we don’t get burn and not far enough so that we will not turn to ice. For me we are living in paradise, you can get your needs everywhere. I believed it is our duty to protect Earth from those who refuse to see her real beauty in short the humans who are destroying our Environment.

               The environment don't really need us but we need our environment to live. We must realize that Global Warming is not the real problem that is happening here on Earth but it is the Environmental Destruction that us humans are doing. “It has been said, something as small as the flutter of a butterfly’s wings can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world” – Chaos Theory. If one human want to change the world for the betterment of it, it can affect others to do it. But it is up to you if you want to make the effort to change the world and recreate it again because we are the only solution. I said we are only the solution because we humans is the cause of these destructions so it is up to us if we move now before it's to late.

Our world is full of unique geological event. Examples of these are tsunamis, typhoons, eruption of volcanoes, and the movement of plates which is the earthquake. All of these events are dangerous and deadly. How can we manage to get rid of these events? Can we predict it to happen? Is there anything we can to do make ourselves safe from these?

These events can kill us and can wipe out humanity especially the earthquake. Earthquakes are the sudden release of energy in the earth’s crust. Due to the fast advancement of technology, experts developed technologies that can detect on how strong and where does an earthquake occur. But we must not focus on the science behind earthquakes. Participating in Earthquakes drills can make us safe. What is Earthquake drill? Earthquake drill is the used to practice in preparation for an earthquake about what to do before, during, and after an earthquake. The Government mainly the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council leads the National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill 2020. Here they tackled about safety measures and the things to do before, during and after an earthquake. Every house must have a survival kit that contained flashlights, extra batteries, and portable radio, ready to eat food, whistle, enough water, survival tools, and med kit. During earthquake, do the duck, cover, and hold. Keep calm, use the whistle to call for help. These exercises will someday save us from earthquakes. Earthquakes drills are very important part of our preparedness plan because it teaches us students and other people on how we respond to the effects of real earthquake. Earthquakes are unpredictable but we can prepare for it to come. Because when a real earthquake comes, we have knowledge of how are we going to do.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me, and I may remember, involve me and I learn”. We must take earthquake drills seriously. Then when real earthquake come, we are prepared enough. It is commendable that are government have a plan in making us people safe.

                 Learning during this pandemic is complicated. Learning during this pandemic for me is like taking homework every day without going to school.  For me the quality of Education during this pandemic is bad. People try their best to buy gadgets for their online classes. Does this pandemic can really stop our learning?

               Department of Education (Deped) is trying their best to support students and pupils to stay productive although there is pandemic. Education in the Philippines can be through modular or online. For me, studying online and not face to face is hard because there is no teacher who is guiding you, no friends to talk to. I also doubt that students will learn anything this school year because the modules and task given to students and pupils are limited. For grade school they can learn because they have their parents who guide them but what about those graduating students that needed experience for their course? In school, students can easily learn because the teacher provides explanation and also demonstration. The impact of this pandemic to education has been observed globally. Online learning also have cons. cheating and answer sheet sharing are identified to be the problem in this online learning. Cheating can be more possible through online learning than face to face learning. It is in ourselves to take the easy way so student cheat to make their task easier. Government should allow face to face learning in places without Covid cases.

               Every one of us is a genius like Albert Einstein said. The system of learning today must improve to thrive so that the productivity of every students would stay. The quality of education can still be better if we study harder and not to pressure ourselves during this situation.

Which Path?

                Have you ever been in a country which is a beautiful, has wonders of different places and has a lot of resources. Which do you think is that country? Yes it is the Philippines but have you ever wondered why this resources and tourist spot don’t make the country better? And why the Philippines is still a third world country?

               The situation in the Philippines right now is hard where one mistake of the country will lead to loss of opportunity to become a better country. Becoming allies in other countries is a big factor for becoming a better and strong country but it is a also a hard, tough, and risky decision because if you allied to a wrong country it will lead to devastating outcome in the country of Philippines. Yes, the country of Philippines has wonder places and a lot of resources. The country of Philippines needs a better and wise leader to use this opportunities properly. Leaders are the one who knows the way and to show the way to their people.  But how can we do all this if the leader is only the one who is moving? In short how can a country grow without the cooperation of the people and the leader?

               Which path does the country will take? Let us unite for the country to thrive and change the system for the better. Let us unite as one and become a more Resilient Philippines. The beauty of the country, the diverse and uniqueness of the country, and the resources that has the country Philippines have will loss if this are not use correctly and properly so which decision? Which path?

Being a Leader

 

                       Being a leader is hard especially when there is no cooperation with the people in a country. Being a leader in a country with a high cases of crimes especially drugs are hard to stop but there is a leader in the Philippines that can do that.  May I asked you, how grateful you are in your country when you have a brave, smart, wise, determined, and have a vision of how the country of Philippines to become a better country. President Duterte with his full name Rodrigo R. Duterte is a very brave president of the Philippines. He don’t care what threat are going to his life, even though it is a death threat. He is one of the best president in the Philippines. He is smart, brave and determined to change the country of Philipines.

                    President Duterte is the ex-mayor of Davao City. In Davao City there are least cases of drugs and crimes. He has a good leadership but what if the whole Philippines his going to handle?. President Duterte wipeout all drug dealers and users. He killed them without hesitation. Not literally President killed them but his leadership, braveness, and commitment killed them. As of now there are now small cases of crimes in the Philippines. Small rate of both users of drugs and dealers. Not just that, President Duterte noticed that the other parts of Manila is dirty like the Manila bay. What you can see right now is not a sea shore with full of garbages but a  sea shore of white sand. I don’t understand why other Filipinos argue with him that he has a bad leadership. During this pandemic. President Duterte receives many hatred because he don’t follow what Filipinos is shouting that President must travel ban before the virus will spread in the country of Philippines. Filipinos didn’t realize that President just want the OFW’s to go home in the Philippines because he don’t want them to die in other countries.

                     The killings that President had done is bad but this is a must. Cooperation is a must for a country to thrive. President Duterte had a lot of achievements he had done in the country of Philippines. Filipinos don’t realize his hardwork. A country cannot grow without a good leader and a good leadership of that leader. Why we must argue with the leader if we could help him make a good decisions. Why hate him if we could tell him that he is wrong. I know that everyone of us has a different desicion but we must adjust or sacrifice this desicions for the process to flow.

 

 

Changing Me

 

               There are a lot of people living in this world and we do not know that us have the same or similar personalities. Each of us have our own talents, personalities, and hobbies. Just remember that how smart God in creating us, we have different feelings, and different personalities but God told us that all we have to do is to be respectful to one another and to love one another.   

             People often describe me as a funny person and a person who is very close to god. My parents describe me as a playful child because I play both outside games and indoors games. My friends told me that I am a short tempered person. But as we grow up our personalities and habit changes. My name is Renmark Burgos and this is me.

               We are born to love one another. As we meet different people, they describe as very differently from how our parents describe us because it’s in ourselves. We don’t show the same trait that we are showing to our love ones. Just like when I became a high school student, I noticed that, I changed. My old classmates also told me that I am not the person they met before because I changed, a lot. It’s because I am in a new school and different environment. And also because I’m gonna face bigger, harder, and more complicated challenges in my life. But in that challenges that I am going to face, new friends will meet and more friends will gonna make. I hope that if I finish high school, my  previous me will comeback. I know that if I also finish this high school, another challenges will make.

               As I face the path of my life, realizations always happened. Problems, Depression, Negativities are always there to change us and to mold us to be better and to be strong as we are getting older and facing harder challenges.We only live once so be strict in our decisions in life. we never knew if there's a end in our life.We all know that everyone of us has a different traits or personalities. Everyone of us can’t control the changes in their personalities.But all we have to do is talk to a person especially our parents. They can help us what is happening with our traits and personalities. Our life is precious, they say that life is from B to D, from birth to death but what's in between wtih the two letters? it is the C, so what is C? C is a choice. Our life is a matter of choice that you are the one who is controllling, live your life and face the consequensence that it gives.
