There have been so many issues in the country that are sprouting everyday. Unfortunately, they unnecesarily pre-occupied our minds while we are forgetting the most important thing that we need to be prepared for — the devastating effects of global warming. People dumps billion tons of garbage daily and imagine how it ruining the world. Everyone of us can do something about it, if only we know how to get control of our garbages. Here’s how: 1. Assemble your materials: Your trash, some old clothes, a tarp, thick gloves, about six cardboard boxes, a scale, a pencil, paper, and a calculator. Find sheltered area to prevent wind drift. 2.

Water is an abiotic factor essential to the survival of living organisms.  Without water, no plant or animal can survive. However, over congested urban areas and worsening poverty has led to pollution and to poor sanitation which in turn cause various illnesses and diseases.  What used to be sources of nourishing water now become havens for bacteria and other elements that cause diseases which most often lead to death.

For many politicians — the earlier you campaign, the better. This is said to be helpful especially to those who are newbie in politics. But most traditional politicians (trapo) are into early campaigning, which is supposedly a clear violation of the Omnibus Election Code. Of course, they could have an excuse. Merely posting their faces or names in public places doesn’t mean they are campaigning already. As long as they did not put the word “VOTE” on their posters, they can get away from any liability.

Hog and poultry producers in the country are up in arms over a recent decision by the government allowing a Thailand-based agribusiness company to operate a multi-billion peso integrated facility in the country. “All our hard work, blood, sweat and tears will be put to waste if the Thai company is allowed to operate here.
