Many Filipinos are experiencing the effects of climate change in the Philippines. It is a major problem that should not be ignored, especially by the government, because it affects people and the environment. This is more likely caused by human activities such as deforestation, burning of waste, improper disposal of waste, and excessive use of energy.
This year (2024), evidence of climate change has been seen. Throughout April and May, increased temperatures were experienced in the Philippines, causing schools to change schedules and/or suspend classes. And this year, many typhoons hit the Philippines, especially Luzon, during September-November. Almost every week since September, a typhoon has been experienced in the Philippines, causing many suspensions of classes and work. Also causing farmers to suffer. Imagine working hard for your crops and having them damaged and wasted just because of typhoons. It's not just that, many houses were also destroyed, and many lives were taken.

However, Filipinos are known for their "bayanihan." They strongly faced these challenges and remained kind to others. They helped each other to rise again.
