Our Life is in Our Hands

Environmental damage has been one of the major challenges faced by the planet since three decades; but now, when the world is battling COVID-19 crisis, the need to expedite the restoration movement has been the most urgent. With the ecosystem loss, the world is getting increasingly deprived of carbon sinks, like forests and peatlands. And during a time like this, we can’t afford to let that happen. Environmental awareness is to understand the fragility of our environment and the importance of its protection. Promoting environmental awareness is an easy way to become an environmental steward and participate in creating a brighter future for our children. 

The COVID-19 emergence has unleashed some drastic consequences and revealed how disastrous the loss of the ecosystem can be. We cannot attain Sustainable Development goals in the absence of ecosystem restoration. Preventing the biodiversity loss is the key to our survival post the pandemic.

We should start to love and respect our land. Restoration will help us to enhance and grow our relationship with the nature and we should be active to the activities that are helping to make our environment healthy again.

Mother’s Day in the Philippines is celebrated by most people on the second Sunday of May, despite a 1998 presidential decree to move it and Father’s Day to the first Monday of December. It is not an official public holiday. Mother’s Day is kind of a big day here in the Philippines. This is largely due to the large place of mothers in Filipino culture. Mum is called the “ilaw ng tahanan”, which means “the light of the home” due to the love, cheer, and brightness she brings to the family.  Mother’s day is extraordinarily revered and therefore it is celebrated throughout the country with utmost zeal. The people there do not only celebrate the festival not only in honour of their own mother but they also revere their grandmothers, cousins, aunts, and every other female members of the family.

Women play an important role in our country. Women are the primary caretakers of children and elders in every country of the world. International studies demonstrate that when the economy and political organization of a society change, women take the lead in helping the family adjust to new realities and challenges. They are working to improve our country. It is undeniable that women are already dealing with things that only men did in ancient times.
