In a climate change advocacy forum conducted on
Wednesday by the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), a 30-minute video
documentary on climate change produced by PIA and a six-minute video produced
by the GMA Network were shown to the students, followed by an open forum.
The students were also asked to give their
suggestions and recommendations to mitigate the impact of climate change.
“We have to plant trees so that we can help the
government address climate change that is already affecting us today,” said
Armie Jay Anlap, a senior high school student adding that “human beings are now
suffering the adverse effects of climate change and so with our agriculture.”
Grizzell Elardo, also a senior high school
student, said “we have to observe proper disposal of garbage and avoid burning
of plastics, as these would contribute to global warming and climate change.”
“No one will be spared from the severe
consequences of climate change. We need to act now. Otherwise, we will all
suffer,” Elardo urged.
Nasher Dulay, a freshman student said he is ready
to participate in tree planting activity to be undertaken by the school to help
solve climate change problem.
Dulay recalled that during his elementary years,
he actively participated in tree planting activities conducted by the Boy Scout
of the Philippines
“I am very much eager to plant more trees and
will support other activities related to climate change mitigation and
adaptation,” Dulay added.
Meanwhile, School Principal Danilo Ungang said
BNHS has implemented Republic Act 9003 otherwise known as Ecological Solid
Waste Management Act, in support of the climate change mitigation and
adaptation efforts of the government.
“We are teaching our students to be responsible
by strictly observing proper disposal of garbage in our school, Ungang
concluded. (PIA) (082914)
