Save the Children Philippines (SCP) said that over 26 million enrolled students in the Philippines are affected by climate change.
Among the problems SCP mentioned are the intolerable heat from the El Niño, more powerful typhoons, and limited access to water. These affect the children’s health, nutrition, and education.
Calling for government responsibility, especially in this time of extreme heat, the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) Philippines urged the Department of Education (DepEd) and local government units (LGUs) to conduct safety inspections in schools, assess fire and safety hazards, and address urgent school needs and perennial classroom shortage.
As of this writing, the highest heat index in all regions of the Philippines ranges from 42 to 43 degrees Celsius.
ACT urged the government to implement long-term solutions such as the construction of enough classrooms with proper ventilation and reverting to the old school calendar that is more suitable and beneficial to education, given the detrimental impacts of summer classes on education quality and health of teachers and learners.
SCP is also actively advocating for the implementation and localization of Republic Act 10821 or the Children’s Emergency Relief and Protection Act, setting standards of accountability to children in the protection and provision of their needs before, during, and after a disaster.

Bagong influenza-like illness, kumakalat sa buong Pilipinas
Mula pa noong magpasimula ang taon, malaking bahagi ng Pilipinas na ang nakararanas ng pagtaas ng kaso ng influenza-like illness (ILI). Ang ilan sa mga sintomas nito ay ubo, pananakit ng katawan, pananakit ng lalamunan, at lagnat.
Ayon kay Health Undersecretary Eric Tayag, may humigit-kumulang na 190,000 influenza-like cases ang naiulat sa Pilipinas ngayong taon. Isinusulong ng Department of Health (DOH) ang pagbabakuna laban sa influenza at pneumonia upang maiwasan ang pagtaas ng mga kaso.
Noong Nobyembre 28, inanunsyo ng OIC-Principal ng UPIS na si Kat. Prop. Dian Caluag ang biglaang pagtaas ng kaso ng ILI sa UPIS nitong mga nakalipas na buwan. Bilang pagtugon dito, hinikayat ang mga mag-aaral na sumunod sa health protocols ng paaralan gaya ng pagsuot ng face masks. Pinaalalahanan din ang lahat na magsabi sa mga guro at mga nars ng paaralan kung nakakaramdam man ng mga sintomas upang kaagad na maaksyunan.
Ayon kay Dr. Myrissa Melinda Alip, ang direktor ng UP Diliman Health Service (UPHS), ang pagpapabakuna ay malaking bagay para maiwasan ang mga kumplikasyon kapag tayo ay nadapuan ng nakahahawang sakit. Ang libreng bakunang ipinamimigay ng UPHS-Public Health section sa publiko ay mula sa local government unit (LGU) ng Brgy. Krus na Ligas na kanila ring katuwang upang maisulong ang Expanded Immunization Program ng pamahalaan. Ang layunin ng programang itong maiwasan ang mga komplikasyon at kamatayang maaaring maidulot ng mga nakakahawang sakit sa pamamagitan ng pagbabakuna. Mayroon ding bakunang ipinamimigay para sa mga ina at matatanda.
Sa kasalukuyan, mayroong iba’t ibang bakunang maaaring mapakinabangan ng lahat ng nasasakupan ng Krus na Ligas, UP Diliman, at mga kalapit na lugar. Isa ang flu vaccine sa mga ipinapamahaging maaaring i-avail ng mga mag-aaral at empleyado ng Diliman. “Ang bakuna ay para sa lahat.” Dagdag pa ni Dr. Alip, “May bakuna para sa kapapanganak na sanggol. May bakuna para sa ibang mga edad: sa mga ina, sa buntis, nakatatanda, atbp.” Isinaad din niyang ang mga nagnanais magpaiskedyul ng pagpapabakuna ay maaaring tumawag at magtanong sa UPHS-Public Section local 2719 (Oras ng opisina: Lunes-Linggo, 8 n.u.-5 n.h.).
Ipinapaalala rin ni Dr. Alip na, “Ang pinakamahalaga, bukod sa pagpapabakuna, ay ang maayos na lifestyle.” Ilan sa kaniyang mga nabanggit at iminumungkahi niyang paraan ay ang pagkakaroon ng balanseng nutrisyon; pagtulog nang walong (8) oras; pag-iwas sa alak, sigarilyo, at mga bawal na gamot; at pagbabawas ng stress upang mapalusog ang kaisipan.
Mayroon pa ring natatalang mga kaso ng bagong influenza-like illness sa kalakhan ng Pilipinas sa kasalukuyan. Ayon sa DOH, marahil ito ay bunsod ng maulang panahon. Kasalukuyang nag-iimbestiga ang departamento kung ito ba ay dulot ng bagong uri ng pathogen. Bagaman inaasahang bababa na ang bilang ng mga kaso sa mga susunod na linggo, ipinapaalala pa rin ng mga awtoridad ang karampatang pag-iingat na kailangang gawin ng bawat isa. Sapagkat holiday season na at inaasahan ang dagsa ng tao sa mga pampublikong lugar, mainam ang pag-alam ng mga health risk na maaaring makompromiso sa tuwing lalabas ng tahanan. Gayundin, kinakailangang sundin ang mga ilang mga hakbangin gaya ng pagsusuot ng face mask, pag-isolate ng may sakit, at pagpapabakuna upang makaiwas sa lumalaganap na sakit.
Ipinapaalala sa mga mag-aaral ng UPIS ang ibayong pagsunod sa mga health protocols at pakikiisa sa mga hakbang upang makaiwas sa mga nakahahawang sakit. // nina Sophia Dormiendo at Wynelle Llaguno

HEALTHINESS: EACH ONE REACH ONE
One of the biggest problems of our city is poverty. It resulted to malnutrition, poor living condition, and thus affecting their health.
According to the Asian Development Bank, 16.7% of Filipinos were poor even before the pandemic began. Poverty has prevented millions of Filipinos from receiving necessary healthcare services. (MedHyve, 2021).
Filipino children are increasingly suffering from poor diets, inadequate nutrition. One in every three Filipino children under the age of five is stunted, which means they are too small for their age, while approximately 7% of children are too thin for their height. (UNICEF, 2019)

Due to this problem, our team created the Healthiness: Each One, Reach One, with the mission to help the people especially the unprivileged ones to have vitamins and healthy food through outreach programs.
“Without health life is not life; it is only a stage of languor and suffering- an image of death”- Buddha

The Healthiness: Each One, Reach One’s main objective is to help the poor communities to fight malnutrition especially the children. Thus, we would like to raise fund through solicitation and also ask assistance from the Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU), and City Local Government Unit (LGU) in conducting a feeding program and vitamin distribution project to the chosen community.
In conclusion, if our team is able to raise funds and receive assistance from the Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU) and City Local Government Unit (LGU) in carrying out the Healthiness: Each One, Reach One feeding program and vitamin distribution project, it will undoubtedly help poor communities fight malnutrition.
Our team cannot do this project alone, but with the help of the people around us, people who are willing to extend their hands and make a positive change to the community, we believe that our project will be successful. If you have further questions about our project, you can contact us in our email: [email protected]

"Camotes Island"
The island group is located east of Cebu Island, southwest of Leyte Island, and north of Bohol Island. It is 34 nautical miles (63 km; 39 mi) from Cebu City and is part of Cebu. The Camotes Islands are located in the Camotes Sea, off the coast of the Province of Cebu. It is known for its crystal clear waters, extremely fine white sand, and the spectacular view of sunset that it offers.
There are many public beaches in Camotes that are easily accessible and equally beautiful but most of the time, they get a bit crowded. If you’re one of the people who are not big fans of huge crowds and busy islands, then the Tulang Diot Island in Camotes – Northern Cebu is the perfect getaway for you. For only ₱10 per head as an environmental fee, you will get to enjoy its pristine white sand and crystal clear water.

Further down the mouth of Paraiso Cave, a five-foot deep natural freshwater pool about a size of a badminton court awaits it's visitors. Concrete staircases with metal handrail and lamps were installed inside the cave for safer and easier descent. Trekking from the cave entrance down to the rocky freshwater pool takes less than five minutes.

Tumblr media
Timubo Cave Camotes Island
Tumblr media
Far from the well trimmed site Paraiso Cave, Timubo Cave lies in the middle of a farm deep beneath a corn field. Unlike Paraiso Cave, surroundings were not fenced making the cave almost inconspicuous, if not because of a shack where a lady collects the entrance fee of PHP 20 per guest and sells key chains as souvenir items. At the cave entrance, signage bearing cautions for entering the cave and a recountal of the cave's significance to the people of Barangay Sonog could be noticed.
Santiago White Beach Camotes
Santiago beach is a public beach.This beach, one of the famous beaches in Camotes, has the widest beach on the island.It’s not just a beach, it’s a white sand beach with a long shoreline that stretches as far as you can walk

This public beach is under the management of Camotes Local Government Unit (LGU).
That’s right! This place is being managed by the local authorities and make sure that everybody keeps the beach clean and safe.

Social Media: A Lifeline in Times of Calamity
There was a time when the only way to find out what was happening during a disaster was through TV, radio, or print. Back then, information was slow, one-way, and sometimes outdated by the time you got it. The government, families, and even social workers relied on these traditional outlets to stay informed. But today, social media has flipped the script, giving people a whole new way to get real-time information and, more importantly, to share it.
Let’s take a look at how things have changed.
Families: Connecting Amid Chaos
In the past, if a storm hit and phone lines went down, families would be left wondering for hours—sometimes days—about the safety of their loved ones. Social media wasn’t part of the picture. You waited for news broadcasts to mention affected areas or hoped a radio station would cover the part of the country where your relatives lived. In short: it was a waiting game, and that game was agonizing.
Today, however, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter have become vital tools for families during calamities. You don’t just have to wait for information anymore—you can search for it. If phone lines are dead, you can still message your family members or check their status updates to know they’re safe. Facebook’s Crisis Response feature, for example, allows users in affected areas to mark themselves as "safe," providing instant reassurance to friends and family. WhatsApp and Messenger have made group chats a critical tool for checking in and organizing support, like food deliveries or finding shelter.
In short, social media has closed the gap. Where TV, radio, and newspapers kept you in the dark until they had a story, social media provides immediate, direct communication that keeps families connected when it matters most.
Social Workers: On the Ground and Informed
For social workers, having accurate information quickly is essential. In the old days, they were often in the same boat as everyone else—waiting for the next news report to tell them where help was needed most. By the time the media covered a crisis, a lot of damage was already done. The delay could affect decisions on how and where to deploy support, making their work harder.
Now, social media has given social workers a lifeline. They can monitor real-time updates from people on the ground, even before the media gets wind of things. Platforms like Twitter and Facebook allow for the sharing of emergency requests directly, whether it's people needing rescue or communities lacking basic supplies. Hashtags like #RescuePH (widely used in the Philippines during floods) or #HarveySOS (used during Hurricane Harvey in the U.S.) have become crucial in making sure no call for help is missed.
And because social media allows for more localized information, social workers can target specific areas for assistance rather than waiting for blanket coverage from the media. Social workers are now able to make faster, data-driven decisions to save lives.
The Government: Speed and Transparency
In the past, the government relied on traditional media to communicate with the public. If you missed a press conference, you were in the dark until the next scheduled TV or radio update. This could be dangerous in a fast-evolving situation like a typhoon or an earthquake. The government also had limited ways of hearing directly from the people—complaints, requests, or suggestions often got lost in bureaucratic red tape.
Social media has changed that dramatically. Now, governments use platforms like Twitter and Facebook to send out real-time updates on road closures, evacuation plans, and safety tips. Agencies can post warnings or updates instantly, and these messages spread fast, often before news outlets can catch up. During calamities, Twitter accounts for disaster response, or even local government units (LGUs), offer a direct line to citizens. The speed of response has improved drastically, and this can be a matter of life and death.
On the flip side, citizens can use social media to communicate directly with government agencies. Whether it’s pointing out overlooked communities in need or offering real-time data, this kind of two-way communication has revolutionized how governments operate during disasters. No more waiting for press conferences or for media outlets to interpret the situation for them. It’s fast, transparent, and direct.
A Game-Changer
Social media hasn’t just changed the game for information dissemination—it’s made it a collaborative process. In times of disaster, families, social workers, and the government are no longer at the mercy of slow-moving news cycles. Instead, they can take action in real-time, which can—and does—save lives. Where traditional media kept everyone informed from a distance, social media has brought everyone closer, allowing us to participate, respond, and support each other when it matters the most.
In today’s world, social media is not just a tool for sharing photos or updates; it’s a vital lifeline during times of calamity—one that helps keep us all connected.
