Biodiversity

Pollution
Climate Change
Biodiversity is the most complex and vital feature of our planet. It is essentially every living thing and ecosystem that makes up the environment. From the tallest giraffe to the smallest microorganism, everything plays an important role in the maintenance of our world.
Water
Water pollution is a huge concern for us and our environment. Not only is polluted water a huge financial strain but is also killing both humans and marine life. With oil spills, an abundance of plastic waste and toxic chemicals entering our waterways, we’re damaging the most valuable resource our planet has to offer.
Deforestation
We need plants and trees to survive. They provide oxygen, food, water and medicine for everyone, all over the globe. But if deforestation continues at the rate it’s occurring, we won’t have much of the valuable forestry left.
Pollution
is one of the primary causes of many of the other environmental concerns, including climate change and biodiversity. All 7 key types of pollution – air, water,soil, noise, radioactive, light, and thermal – are affecting our environment
Climate Change
As pointed out by a recent UN report, without ‘unprecedented changes’ in our actions and behavior, our planet will suffer drastically from global warming in just 12 years. Greenhouse gases are the main cause of climate change, trapping in the sun’s heat and warming the surface of the earth. An increased ocean temperature is affecting the sea life and ecosystems habituated there. The rise in global sea levels is shrinking our land, causing mass floods and freak weather

Utang na loob
Bahala Na
Manana Habit
Ningas Kugon
Amor propio
Bayanihan
Utang na Loob
is a situation where an individual is required to return a favor or service received. However, the return of such service or favor cannot be translated into monetary equivalent, and may reciprocated in a month of service or even a lifetime.
Bahala Na
comes from the words Bathala na. It reflects the Filipino's dependence on the supernatural being and on fate. This tends to move toward the commonly conceived procrastination character of the Filipino.
Manana Habit
can be traced back to the Spanish colonization era. The term “Mañana” is a Spanish word that means “tomorrow”. This is a Filipino trait that enforces procrastination - practice of putting off work to be done in the near future or in the last minute. This habit is exemplified through the “Mamaya na” or “Bukas na”.
Ningas Kugon
translates to “burning of cogon grass”. As a Filipino trait, it means that Filipinos tend to have a strong enthusiasm in the beginning of each work or endeavor but gradually slows down and lose their drive to work and finish the job. It is said that in work Filipinos tend to do their job half- baked or leave it unfinished.
Amor Propio
As a reinforcement to the Philippine trait of “Hiya” or shame, Filipinos are akin to the traditional attitude of saving “face”. is another Spanish term that means a sense of self-esteem or self-respect that prevents a person from swallowing his pride. It also means ego defensiveness or maintaining one’s dignity and personal pride. According to the Philippines Australia Business Council, it often implies a vindictive reaction to questioning an individual’s action, integrity, or honor.
Bayanihan
In an article titled “Filipino Culture: The Filipino Value that Must be Retained”, it describes as: “It is a core essence of the Filipino culture. It is helping out one’s neighbor as a community, and doing a task together, thus lessening the workload and making the job easier. It is also called the ‘community spirit’.
