Impacts of Climate Change Catastrophe of the Philippines

Since the 1st week of April it was scorching hot, the sun rises early and the temperature in the morning is like in the noontime already. Then lately with the same weather, out of nowhere the skies darken and it started raining like it was already rainy season. The hole in our ozone layer is getting big, with all the pollutions killing our planet. Global warming, signos, climate change, all of this should not be neglated issue.

Indeed, the effects of abusing our mother earth is showing her syptoms. Soon, we will face its her wrath.

A report released by Greenpeace Southeast Asia one of the environmental watchdog, the Philippines is “on its way to a major climate change catastrophe, unless the government takes urgent and ambitious action to avert a disaster that will put millions of Filipinos at risk”.

The Philippines consist of thousand islands, and right now our country is experiencing 1 meter sea level rise.

Imagine what will be left of the Philippines is it will go beyond 1-meter. What will be left of our 7,100+ islands, imagine coastals flooded with sea water, and Mall of Asia sunked.

Climate change is no joke my friends. We have witnessed its effects in the unprecedented strength and number of super-typhoons in recent years. Let’s be aware and take this issue seriously, the earth is a living planet and like us it can heal itself.

Pinoy Boxing Domination in Araneta Coliseum

Our filipino boxers really did a good job in winning all the matches in Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

Denver Cuello, the Iloilo’s pride defeated Hiroshi matsumoto of Japan in four rounds to take the WBC international minimum weight title, Super flyweight Drian Francisco also manage to defeat the Indonesian boxer in submission in two. These two manage to give good fights for the undercard.

Raul Martinez, the Mexican challenger got knocked down four time by our World flyweight champion Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire Jr. to keep his IBO/IBF titles. Technical knockout or T.K.O. occured in the fourth round.

Now, the former World Boxing Council Champion Brian “The Hawaiian Punch” Viloria (we, thinking, that was inspired by Manny Pacquiao Fights) put up also a good fight. With the dash-in, side-step attacks, he was almost as fast as Manny Pacquiao. Agressive and full of stamina, crushed and ends the fight with the Mexican Boxer Ulises Solis. That “whapak” sounds made by the hawaiian right punch straight to the jaw in the 11th round to claim the IBF Light flyweight crown.

After those sensatinal victories, pinoy boxing domination occurred in Araneta Coliseum. Now, the filipinos are now pumped even more for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Briton Ricky Hatton on May 2, in Las Vegas.

Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire, brought the truth in his myth and his moniker “The Filipino Flash”, defeated the “undefeated” – Cobrita Martinez at 2:42 mark, of the 4th round with a left upper making Martinez kneel down the fourth time. Martinez was ko`ed twice in the 1st round, once in the 2nd, but it was referree decision “Pete Podgorski” to stop the bout.

27 year old Nonito Donaire will make a good role model for the filipino boxers who improved his record to 21-1.
