Stop Worrying...

By Roy C. Choco, FCD -
"It’s true, most of the living things on the planet are going to take a mean beating if things continue to warm up as every credible scientist on earth seems to believe, but the planet itself will be perfectly fine…it will still be here long after we are gone. It’s the humans and all the animals that might not make it..."

Protect the environment, prevent pandemics.

We need to learn how to respect mother nature. We are an ecosystem, when one component is suffering, we all pay the price and we all suffer. There really is no planet B, we cannot flyout somewhere to be safe. We have to make Earth safe if we are to continue as a species. We are at a situation that we are fighting for our lives at a global scale. I guess to protect ourselves, we need to protect our ecosystem. May the time we have on our hands right now provide us time to ponder what has happened to our environment. May we survive this pandemic with a renewed vision. Let us help protect mother Earth and save humanity from ourselves.

Fighting Climate Change and the Corona Virus

As I write this blog entry, it has been two days already that we are working from home. The government has declared the lockdown of Metro Manila. Spending time at home provided much time to ponder and reflect on how fragile life can be. The work that we do, the daily routines that we do each day and the things that we take for granted are now looked upon with a different value. All of this has escalated quickly.

There’s this residential area near the university that seems to be intimately linked with the present existence. Just like the university, this subdivision – with its blocks of sprawling houses and quiet gated streets – has its way of intruding into one’s consciousness. If there’s a sense in describing oneself as haunting a place even if one is still very much alive, this is exactly how one would feel upon coming to an awareness of such encroachment. It’s like slowly realizing that one has been a sort of prisoner all these years, that no matter how many miles one has flown away from a certain point of origin, one’s life will ultimately be pulled back to gravitate around a few significant places. Yet, there’s also this sense of being set free from some drab view of the past, and being made to see such places and everything on it in a totally different light. Such were the thoughts that flitted through a weary mind as it came across this tree along one of the subdivision’s main streets.
