"Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities"

We, humans, were all created by God. "He created us equally as well as he loves us equally," they are used to say this line.
Each individual deserve to be respected and treated equally. Take it for example, sometimes there is the so called discrimination especially to those who are disabled or handicapped, they used to give more importance to those who have good personality and non disabled man. This shows that there's no equal rights for us as well as there;s no equal opportunities. Wen should have equal rights even you are man or woman, have good personality or not, clever or not, old one or you one and so on.
For this, there will be no discrimination and all of us will be equally treated by other because God created us equally.

"Handa ka na ba?"

       For sure, we are all knowledgeable about the so called CLIMATE CHANGE which means a crucial challenge that we face today, and this is what I've learned last Youth Environmental Summer Camp (YES Camp) with the theme "Handa ka na ba? (Climate Change Adaptation  The next level)." With this theme, we can already see if what is meant by this. This is to urge all students, youth leaders, educators, and the local government units to take the lead.
       In our country, disaster abound like flash floods, volcanic eruptions  landslides, typhoons, and also earthquakes. According to studies, the Philippines is a disaster waiting to happen which means our country is prone to calamities. And this is the aim of the YES CAMP, to encourage  the student leaders to make a change for the environment and also for our own because we, the one who are suffering from is the one who can make a solution.
       We should be aware on the effects of climate change to our environment and natural resources. Climate change is one of the most effective ways to respond to this global threat. Still remember the stories and movies about the "end of the world" scenarios? What if it happens today? What can you do? Isn't it too late to make an act, to make a respond to the climate change?

HANDA KA NA BA?

       We should do something in our simple ways.With these, if we put it together, it can be a big help for saving our Mother Earth. Let us shape the future today before it is too late. Let us prepare, respond and adapt. Together, we can save our world. HANDA KA NA BA?
