Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation

 

        

            The 2025 National Science Month with the theme “Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation” highlights the importance of exploring new knowledge and ideas. Science is not only about improving what we already know but also about facing the unknown with curiosity and creativity. By doing so, we can find solutions that will benefit people today and in the future.

            In the next decades, science and society will continue to work closely together. Communities will become more involved in scientific progress through projects that aim to solve real-life problems such as climate change, health, food security, and technology. Science will no longer be seen as something distant, but as part of everyday life through inventions and innovations that improve how we live.

            At the same time, society must guide science in the right direction. New discoveries often raise questions about safety, fairness, and ethics. That is why it is important that science is developed responsibly and with the good of all people in mind. Through education and awareness, everyone can play a role in supporting science and making sure it is used for the benefit of many, not just a few.

            In the end, the celebration of National Science Month is a reminder that science and society are deeply connected. By harnessing the unknown, we can build a future that is innovative, sustainable, and inclusive. Truly, science and innovation are powerful tools to create positive change for generations to come.

Climate Change and Resiliency of Filipino

            Climate change is one of the biggest problems in the Philippines today. Because our country is surrounded by water and is in the typhoon belt, we often experience strong typhoons, floods, and even droughts. These changes in the environment affect people’s homes, farms, and daily lives. Sometimes the changes happen suddenly, like during a super typhoon, while others are slower, such as the rising sea levels in coastal areas.

            The main reasons for these changes are both natural and man-made. Human activities like cutting down too many trees, using too much fuel, and polluting the air add to global warming. This makes the weather hotter and storms stronger. On the other hand, the Philippines’ location naturally makes us more exposed to disasters, so the effects are felt more strongly here.

            Even with these problems, Filipinos are known to be resilient. Communities help each other during and after disasters, showing bayanihan. Some people are also starting to use better farming methods, stronger houses, and eco-friendly practices to prepare for the future. Resiliency means not only surviving but also finding ways to adapt and prevent bigger problems.

            Climate change is a challenge for everyone, but we can fight it together. If we protect the environment and prepare our communities, we can keep moving forward.

INTRAMURALS

 

        During our school intramurals, I experienced many unforgettable moments as an arnis player. I was able to meet new friends and enjoy the different activities prepared for us. One of the highlights for me was joining the demo where we performed arnis together with wushu and gymnastics. Aside from, that, I also watched the basketball games and dancesports with my classmates, which was really fun and exciting because we got to cheer together and support our schoolmates. 

        Overall, the intramurals became a memorable experience for me because I was able to showcase my skills bong with others and truly enjoy the spirit of sportsmanship.
