decide whether to agree, ambivalent, and/or

disagree to the statements provided. The activity
will be done through __________ website, the link
link will be sent through the chat box.

Statements:
1. Genetically engineered (GE) foods have had
their DNA changed using genes from other
plants or animals. Scientists take the gene
for a desired trait in one plant or animal, and
they insert that gene into a cell of another
plant or animal. One of its purposes is to
enhance its nutritional value. Government
must approve more products that are
genetically engineered to fight malnutrition.

2. The West Philippine Sea is resource-rich not

just oil and gas but also sea animals and
habitats such as coral reefs.The Philippines
should continue oil and gas exploration in
the West Philippine Sea so that the
Philippines can produce oil and gas.

3. Mining industries should not continue

mining after its environmental
mismanagement even if the Philippines is
the top supplier of nickel ore to China and a
major producer of copper and gold.

1. What does the video tell us?

2. What did God want us to do in all of his
creations?

The video is the synopsis of Genesis Chapter 1-2.

In general, this tells us how God created the

heaven, earth, sun, sky, water, ocean, land, and all of
the living and nonliving organisms in this world. In
addition, He appointed humans to be stewards of
his creation or to rule all of his creation.

Verses from the Bible to support:

Genesis 2:15 - Humans are commanded to care for
God’s creation.
Matthew 6:25-34 - God loves and cares for all of
creation

3. How can this problem affect the

environment?
A. Plastic Pollution
a. Plastic waste or plastic pollution is one
of the most pressing environmental
issues according to National
Geographic (Parker, 2019). It is the
“accumulation of plastic objects such
as plastic bottles and candy wrappers,
in the Earth’s environment that
adversely affects wildlife, wildlife
habitat, and humans” (City of
Westminster, n.d.).
b. Humans have been addicted to
single-use or disposable plastic - with
severe environmental consequences.
According to the United Nations (n.d.),
approximately one million plastic
drinking bottles are purchased every
minute, while 5 trillion single-use
plastic bags are used worldwide every
year. Half of all the produced plastic is
designed for single-use and then
eventually gets thrown away.
c. Why is it a problem? Ever since the
late 20th century when the
production of plastic began, humans
have greatly become dependent on
the said material as affordable and
versatile. Trillions of single-use plastic
bags are used worldwide and get
thrown away immediately after.
Highly developed countries may have
managed plastic waste responsibly by
having proper facilities for recycling,
but plastic wastes from developing
countries end up in dumpsites and
streets or get thrown away in the river
or ocean.

B. Climate Change
● Watch and listen carefully to the news

Link: https://youtu.be/zfP2XEqYn5s
Questions:
1. What are the effects of climate change
according to the news?
2. How did climate change affect you?
3. Why is it important to be aware of this kind
of issue?

● The Philippines is highly vulnerable to the

impacts of climate change, including sea
level rise, increased frequency of extreme
weather events, rising temperatures, and
extreme rainfall. This is due to its high
exposure to natural hazards (cyclones,
landslides, floods, droughts), dependence on
climate-sensitive natural resources, and vast
coastlines where all of its major cities and
the majority of the population reside
(Climate Links, 2022).

10 Commandments for the Environment

according to Bishop Giampaolo Crepaldi

1) Christ’s incarnation and his teachings testify

to the value of nature: Nothing that exists in
this world is outside the divine plan of
creation and redemption

2) We should not reduce nature to a mere

instrument to be manipulated and exploited

3) The question of the environment entails the

whole planet, as it is a collective good

4) The central point of reference for all scientific

and technical applications must be respect
for the human person, who in turn should
treat the other created beings with respect

5) Nature is a gift offered by our Creator to the

human community, confided to human
intelligence and moral responsibility.

6) Economic development needs to take into

consideration the integrity and rhythm of
nature, because natural resources are
limited.

7) The goods of this world have been created

by God to be wisely used by all.
 MANILA CATHEDRAL SCHOOL

8) Collaboration by means of worldwide

agreements, backed up by international law,
is necessary to protect the environment.

9) Lifestyles should be oriented according to

the principles of sobriety, temperance and
self-discipline, both at the personal and
social levels

10) A spiritual response must be given to

environmental questions, inspired by the
conviction that creation is a gift that God has
placed in the hands of humankind, to be
used responsibly and with loving care.

Conclusion:
We must protect and take care of our environment
as it was God’s creation and our common home for
all of us. Let us remember what Pope Benedict XIV
said “The planet you do not save is the Earth you
will not live upon”.
