tula ni johana diala
Tila ba isang halimuyak ng mabangong bulaklak, ang dala nito’y pangarap, isang pag-asang matatanggap sa taong nagsisikap, ito isang bituin sa kalangitan, hindi man madaling maabot ngunit ito’y ating madaling makakamtan.
Ang dala nito’y isang tagumpay sa ating paglalakbay, Iisang mahabang tulay ng pagbangon at pag-asa, sa lugmok na pamumuhay, dakila nito’y dala makakamtan muna, para itong buwan sa gabi at araw sa umaga na kay ganda. Ito’y paksa ng aking buhay, isang kabanata, kabanatang hindi mawala-wala, hindi paman na isusulat alam kona kung ano ang tugma. hindi mapaliwanag kung ano ang naka akda isang pag-asang mnakabalot sa dilaw at makintab na panyo ang aking nakatagpo.
Sa aking balintataw, ito’y na tutunaw ngunit, may isang liwanag na biglang lumitaw, ngayoy ito’y naging makulay untiunting
nararamdaman ang sigla na pag-asa nitong dala.
PAG-UNAWA NG HEAT PAG-UNAWA NG HEAT
INDEX SA PILIPINAS INDEX SA PILIPINAS
by COWE OMAR BENITO
uwing sumasapit ang tag-init sa Pilipinas, nararanasan ng mga Pilipino ang matinding init Sa panahong ito, madalas marinig ang mga reklamo tungkol sa init Maraming mga ulat sa balita tungkol sa mataas na heat index at kung paano ito makakaapekto sa pang-araw-araw na buhay ng mga Pilipino Pero alam mo ba kung ano ang tinatawag na heat-index?
Ang heat index o apparent temperature ay ang sukat na nagpapakita kung gaano kainit ang nararamdaman ng katawan ng tao Pinagsasama nito ang temperatura ng hangin at ang halumigmig upang ipakita kung gaano kainit ang nararamdaman ng katawan ng tao Ang katawan ay nagpapalamig sa pamamagitan ng pagpapawis, kapag mataas ang halumigmig hindi natutuyo ang ating pawis na nagreresulta sa hindi pag-kontrol ng katawan sa temperatura nito Ito ay nagpaparamdam ng init na mas masahol pa kaysa sa ipinapakita ng mga termometro
Ang Pilipinas ay isang tropikal na bansa, nakakaranas kami ng mainit at mahalumigmig na kondisyon sa buong taon Ngunit sa panahon ng tag-init, partikular mula Marso hanggang Mayo, ang heat index ay maaaring umabot sa mapanganib na antas Ayon sa Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), ang ilang lugar sa bansa ay may heat indices na lumampas sa 52°C (humigitkumulang 126°F) Ang mga heat index na lumalampas sa 52°C ay kinokategorya ng PAGASA bilang "Extreme Danger" Noong Abril 28, 2024, sa Iba, Zambales, umabot sa 53°C
(humigit-kumulang 127°F) ang heat index, ang pinakamataas na naitala sa panahong iyon Pagkatapos ng halos isang buwan, nawasak ang rekord Noong Mayo 26, sa Guiuan, Eastern Samar, umabot sa rurok ang heat index sa 55°C (131°F)
Ang pagtaas ng heat index ay konektado sa pagbabago ng klima, habang tumataas ang pandaigdigang temperatura, tumataas din ang heat index Dahil sa patuloy na pagtaas ng paglabas ng mga greenhouse gases, nagpapahiwatig ang trend na ito na maaari tayong asahan ng mas maiinit na tag-init sa hinaharap
Ang mainit na panahon ng tag-init ay mabilis nang papalapit at kasama na rin ang matinding init na dala nito Ayon sa World Health Organization (WHO), dahil sa matinding init, ang mga isyu sa kalusugan tulad ng heat cramps, heat stroke, heat exhaustion, dehydration, at marami pang iba ay maaaring mangyari sa sinuman na may mahabang pagkakalantad sa init lalo na sa mga sanggol, maliliit na bata, matatanda, at mga taong may umiiral nang kondisyon sa kalusugan
Ang World Health Organization (WHO) ay nagaabiso sa lahat na umiwas sa init, panatilihing malinis ang inyong tahanan, panatilihing malamig at hydrated ang inyong katawan, at protektahan ang mga sanggol at bata Ang pagiwas sa init ay makakatulong upang maiwasan ang anumang komplikasyon sa kalusugan, iwasan ang paglabas hangga't maaari at magpalipas ng 2-3 oras sa malamig na mga
lugar Kung mayroon ka, panatilihing nakabukas ang air conditioning o pagkatapos ng dilim, buksan ang ilang bintana at pinto upang magamit ang hangin ng gabi para lumamig Gumamit ng mga damit na madaling makahinga, maligo ng malamig na tubig o magpalamig, uminom ng tubig nang regular, at suriin ang mga taong madaling maapektuhan ng mga problema sa kalusugan dulot ng init
Habang papalapit ang tag-init, maghanda tayo para sa init Manatiling updated sa pinakabagong balita, gawin ang mga kinakailangang pag-iingat, at tandaan na manatiling hydrated at mag-ingat

Mount Kanlaon: The Mount Kanlaon: The Majestic Volcano of Majestic Volcano of Negros Negros
by
N
landmarks, natural and man-made Countless waterfalls and scenic views can be found here, but one stands out as the most magnificent yet the most dangerous Mt Kanlaon is volcano standing at 2,645 meters (8,086 feet) above sea level, it can be seen from afar often with ash clouds at the top It is not only the tallest peak in the Visayan Islands but also one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines Its name comes from “Kan Laon”, an ancient deity worshipped by the indigenous people of Negros
Apart from its mythological origins, Mt Kanlaon also contributes to the ecosystem and tourism Situated in the Pacific Ring of Fire, it is a reminder of nature’s power and unpredictability Despite of the risks, many tourists, hikers, scientists and nature lovers continue to visit, attracted by its beauty and exciting trails
Mt Kanlaon is a protected natural park full of diverse species of plants and animals Many endangered species of animals call this volcano home including the Visayan spotted deer, the Visayan warty pig, and the Negros bleedingheart pigeon Over 100 species of birds can be seen flying through the trees, making it a haven for Birdwatchers Its diverse ecosystem ranges from the dipterocarp forests to the mossy forests and alpine meadows near the summit Rare plants such as the rafflesia, pitcher plants, and the wild orchids thrive in its abundant environment, further securing its status as an ecological treasure
The soil near the volcano is rich in minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, making it fertile Because of this, the agriculture around the volcano thrives and the increase in the amount of water the soil can hold allows for sustainable irrigation Mt Kanlaon also supplies fresh water to rivers, plants and nearby towns through volcanic aquifers: underground water reservoirs formed by volcanic activity
While it provides fertile soil and natural resources, it also poses as a threat to the surround towns and its inhabitants Being one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines, Mt Kanlaon has erupted more than 30 times since the 1800s Most of them were phreatic (steam-driven) explosions which can suddenly occur without any warning According to PHILVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology) the first recorded eruption was on 1866 and recently on December 9, 2024 It frequently produces earthquakes, ash clouds and gas emissions With ashfall destroying crops and earthquakes demolishing roads and buildings, it greatly affects the lives of the citizens living in nearby towns and municipalities
Living near the volcano comes with health risks The Volcanic activities can cause skin and eye irritation, respiratory problems, stress and anxiety The local governments have prepared evacuation plans and conduct disaster drills, ensuring the residents’ safety PHIVOLCS and NDRRMC (National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council) are
organizations that monitor the volcano and warn communities of any potential danger that may occur During eruptions, families living in high-risk areas are forced to leave their homes and evacuate to the nearest evacuation center These temporary shelters provide food and protection for those who are affected After an eruption, families struggle to rebuild and recover their homes and belongings Farmers lose their crops and are forced to sell their livestock at a very low price, and people who are in the tourism industry could lose their source of income The government’s aid helps but it could take months or even years to fully recover
Mt Kanlaon is more than just a volcano–it is a living ecosystem and a natural force While it is dangerous, it is also a source of biodiversity and resources Whether you are a researcher, a scientist, or just a nature lover, visiting Mt Kanlaon is an unforgettable experience However we must remember to be responsible, protecting and respecting this majestic volcano ensures that its beauty will continue to shine for future generations
