Reaction/Position
Educating youth can be the answer for achieving
Peace around the world. As Mahatma Gandhi stated,
“Education in the understanding of citizenship is a short-
term affair if we are honest and earnest”, the famous
quote said that we need Education in understanding
each other because you can be fully human as you give
more concern on your surroundings. According to Molina
& Latimer (2013), In the 21st century context of
education, it prepares student to understand the global
perspectives and engage with people from countries and
cultures around the word. We need education to be the
center of interest of the youth as well as the government
to spread the willingness to learn. By that we can be
unified as a one and eradicate the possible factors of
inequalities in the world.
It gives a sympathy and empathy about the
situation of a Filipino commuter who struggling with
more than an hour to arrive at work/school. According to
2019 Asian Development Bank (ADB) study reported that
Metro Manila is the "most congested city" out of 278
cities in developing Asia. Also Public utility buses
comprised only 3% of total traffic along EDSA in 2017.
transportation because it will affect the economy
of the country. Every Filipino commuter deserves
to be comfortable during the travel and must
arrive on time at work/school. Government must
implement more accessible public transport
vehicles, including the MRT and LRT for more
convenient and affordable fare for the
commuters. Filipinos are always expecting for
the improvement and better solutions about the
transportation crisis in next succeeding
months/years of the current administration.
Title: Panel on climate science vs. Green New
Deal
The Agenda for the possible solution of every
organizing bodies to the Climate Change become
numerous because there is a many problems in the
aspect of Environment. This catastrophic climate
change need better solutions but it seems like
there the Panel on climate science and the Green
New Deal are not on the same perspective.
There is a lot of treaties about the climate change
yet there is only few nation are following the
agenda. Climate science was an important because
it gives us the valid answer regarding what is
happening on the atmosphere according to the
scientist. Green New Deal was also important to
reduce the environmental problems we need to
avoid using substances with chemical content of
carbon. Some people are still skeptical about the
climate change.
Pertains to the agenda by
2030
Develop quality, reliable,
sustainable and resilient
infrastructure, including
regional and transborder
infrastructure, to support
economic development and
human well-being, with a
focus on affordable and
equitable access for all.
 SDG 13 – Climate
Action
Agenda for reducing the
carbon emission and the
industries polluting the
ecosystem including the
coastal areas, air, and land.
 SDG 15 – Life on
Land
Agenda for the preserving and
protection of the
environment. As well as the
animals and other living
organism in the ecosystem.
Private cars took up 67% of road space. By these facts
and figures you can say that the transportation in the
Metropolitan is not good enough to the commuters as
well as to the whole country. There is a Land
Transportation code it was enacted on 1994 with the
REPUBLIC ACT No. 4136 AN ACT TO COMPILE THE LAWS
RELATIVE TO LAND TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC
RULES, TO CREATE A LAND TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. But it seems
like there is a lacking of implementing of the laws, that
our government must provide some laws about
transportation because it is the only legal basis for each
owner of vehicles to more conscious/aware about the
traffic ordinance for the reducing of traffic crisis in the
Metro Manila. Government should focus into this
because if not, our country will never be a strong state
and strong society.
Climate change will become severe in the next
generation if we keep on polluting our environment.
Therefore we must take place and act as soon as
possible because according to Greta Thunberg , “You
must unite behind the science. You must take action.
You must do the impossible. Because giving up can
never be an option” as greta stated we need to act
accordingly, organizing bodies and every leaders of the
country must forecast or be futuristic on the climate
change problems. As the UNFFCC agenda, the capacity
to adapt and mitigate is dependent on socio-economic
and environmental circumstances and the availability of
information and technology as well as the helps of the
scientists.
