"The world is definitely warning us," according to experts. Signals of changing climate, including increasing trends in temperature, sea level rise, extreme climate occurrences are already evident in the Philippines. And as the warming continues, the outcome will become more disastrous. Climate change will come water deficiency and reduction of agricultural productivity and food security. Our health will be at risk by heart stress and increase chances of exposure to transmittable infections. Those living in low lying coastal areas may become climate evacuee as their houses are demolish. And tourism, an important source of revenue for many, will decline. Climate change could have a destructive impact in the Philippines, leading to extensive obliteration of the country's environment. Typhoon Ondoy in Metro Manila, a tropical storm in which thousands of residents fled from their houses to the neighboring provinces. The immense floods that engulfed the Philippine capital were an alarming reminder of the need to seriously report climate change, experts said that "lives of millions were in trouble."
It was September 26,2009 and Super typhoon Ondoy was raging around Metro Manila and whole Luzon region. Although the other part of the country experienced the rain shower of the typhoon. According to the NDCC (National Disaster Coordinating Council) the death toll was 464 and may still go higher. Thirty-seven(37) people are still reported missing and almost 4 million people had been affected of the said typhoon. Agricultural, industrial and infrastructure sectors had also been affected. The agricultural sector is much damaged where farmers keep worrying because of their planted crops were washed out of the flood. In connection with this, people should also worry because it is where we get our daily food.
Every night, during the typhoon Ondoy, it is only the coverage of the whole news. Pictures of people who lost their houses and much pain is their love ones were flashed on TV screens. Poor or rich have no escape from this phenomena. As I watched the news, I feel pity for them, seeing those people needing our help. It could really touch ones heart and I couldn't imagine if that will happen to my life. Perseverance, trust and bravery should be the attitude that will penetrate in this kind of happenings. Prayer is the strongest shield one must bear along with. This tragedy is just newly for those places which is not been affected for how many years ago. The typhoon leave a severe damage to the country. Even though it left already but there were still places have been flooded. The government estimated that it may last until December.
Last year, it is been news in the TV that there were more than 20 typhoons will hit in the country. Due to climate change and global warming, we don't know the exact time for El Niño and La Niña. The weather nowadays couldn't be able to understand. Unlike the previous years ago, there is a month for long drought or we may call it summer time but summer today is sometimes rainy. The global warming and climate change is now slowly experiencing of the whole world. Floods there, earthquakes here, landslides over there. These tragedy are brought and cause by global warming and climate change. Human will be punished for we are the creator of this tragedy. It is cause by improper disposal of garbage, black smoke of factories and vehicles, cutting of trees and etc. The government noticed this illegal activities and now they are controlling of zero garbage and others that will lead into a big catastrophe.
This image will take a part as a lesson to all human beings. If we will tolerate it, this might happen again in the nearer future. This is now the time for an immediate action. We will not waste the time we had left in this world. "If you want change, be the change you want to see." Quoted from Mahatma Gandhi.

indeed,the flood brought by Ondoy typhoon waz one of the most devastating force of nature that ztructed metro manila. i waz once told a story that we muzt not forge that earth iz like a human, it haz alzo an anatomy juzt like the humanz do.
ocean iz the blood of the earth that providez abundant of life, riverz are the veins of the earth where water iz distributed to different partz of the region which moizten the soil that acts like a skin where plants and trees can grow which actz like a lugnz that help uz breath freszh air. but when we zlowly deztroy each part of the earth'z anatomy, zurely the earth will suffer and humanz will be affected too,be a keeper to the circle of life and you zave millions of livez too.

Something people must reflect about.
what can i say? uhm, this issue was never been so new to us, maybe yes, one way to campaign about global warming and all. But one things for sure, with joint forces of all people we ca actually avoid destruction, the follow up question would just be, when? there are efforts in the localities but what about bigger regions, how about bigger metropolis? how would we come up as one? one world? Philippines can do a lot, other countries as well but how can we put it on the priority list? when many are still contributing to deforestation, the unending war against improper garbage disposal. i believe if people would just stop in the planning process, if people would not initiate, if people will not start with themselves then our world will suffer environmental devastation. Destruction is just at hand.
the devastating events that is happening nowadays are signs on how our mother earth revenge on us. let us all be conscious in everything we do that might harm our environment in order for us to live longer in our beloved home...our EARTH
Nice article.
yeah..you're all right..i believe really that nature will revenge unto us because of the undying destruction and abusing to the natural resources without even give response to its needs.
tama jud ka earl...if we humans has initiative instinct to care and concern about everything they do everyday...maybe they could also think about getting one in hand to fight this devastating phenomena for the sake of everyone. i hope..big politicians will the one who first lead us.
yes.,its our fault rin naman tlga., -_- sad to know., huhuh., ngayon nga pinagpapawisan ako eh.,ang init2,khit gabi naman.,-_-
I ♥ the quote from Gandhi. Heheh. Nice, dili usik sA KURYENTE kung basahun.heheh
wow...pang noble prize ang article..nice..kep it up.....
perhaps it is a revenge for us to realize what we are doing to our environment.....
char...
grrrrr...
whraf|!!!!!
oo nga..kahit sa mdaling araw, the wind is so cold because of the ice glaziers that is melt due to the extreme hit of the sun.

nice topic .;)
rehas tag lay -out ^^ he
kip on the flow .. it is interesting
hi mitch n to ur m8, siegfred here this is nice start pwede na ana jud diay kakuti dha apply na jud ang learning sa H.S., all i can say with this tremendous problems that we face as what the latest news we had about the massacre in maguindanao this climate change is really the scary one why? because we don't really know when it strikes though we can have some preparations because of our high technology but we cant control the wrath of our nature like the eruption of mayon volcano as of the latest news we had that could kill a thousand of people and destroy nature if we will not act fast. with regards to the devastating typhoon ondoy it is one of the disaster that gives us a warning that we people should do something about when nature strikes back? that is a question that could be answered if we people should cooperate one another...discipline should starts with ourselves...so i would not mention one by one on what to do coz we already know what,when,where,why and how to do this...to control nature when it strikes... +1
it is really indeed for us to tackle this kind of problem since it is still us that might suffer the consequences that we have done...
