Resiliency of Filipinos due to effect of Climate change

         Climate change has significantly impacted the Philippines. The following are the reasons why climate change occurs; increased carbon emissions from industrialization, transportation and energy consumption contribute to global warming, widespread deforestation for agriculture, urbanization and logging reduces natural carbon sinks and other illegal activities that is affecting our planet. Climate-related stresses the impact of agricultural productivity. Filipinos' resilience amidst climate change is remarkable. Addressing these challenges requires collective action, balancing economic development, environmental protection and social justice. Effective governance, community engagement and sustainable practices will help mitigate climate impacts.


Because of climate change the strong successive typhoons entered the country. Due to consecutive typhoons here in the Philippines especially in Luzon, a lot of Filipino were affected. Successive tropical cyclones have severely impacted the Philippines, Cagayan and Batanes are the mainly affected by the typhoon. The typhoons caused widespread damage in the Philippines, thousands of families and children without access to safe water and sanitation facilities based on the news. Based on my research the 11th and 12th tropical cyclones to hit the country this year affected at least 4.2 million individuals approximately 1.3 million of them children and displaced over 300,000. The agriculture also affected especially crops. For the rice production, the damage amounted to P5.93 billion with a production loss of 325,860 metric tons, based on the update of PhilStar. In agriculture Billion pesos were wasted. Several roads, bridges, and schools were also damaged, and the flooding and typhoons lasts for weeks or almost a month which really affects their lives. The typhoon caused major damage to lives and livelihoods, with a significant number of deaths, and made a historical impact.   

           Yet, Filipino remains resilient although we faced a lot of struggle due to calamities. We all know that Filipino are surviving from a lot of calamities and disasters especially on typhoons which is showing how resilience Filipinos are. By cooperations and collaboration or the bayanihan spirit alive, it helps them to build a good and resilient community. Filipinos are known as survivors, a strong fighter in times of calamities. We manage to survive from disappointments, we emerge more strongly and determined to face the challenges.
