“It Takes a Village to Save a Life”
Irish L. Alalag
Region 1

This art depicts a diorama or mixed-media artwork of the resilience of a coastal community in the face of a natural disaster, likely a storm surge or tsunami. This piece visually represents the interconnectedness of the marine ecosystem and the impact of human actions, which aligns well with the theme "it takes a village to save a life" in the context of coastal resiliency. The artwork aims to convey a message that the survival of individual marine lives, and the health of the entire coastal ecosystem (its resiliency), depends on the collective actions of the "village" – which includes humans and the natural environment itself. Just as it takes a community to support an individual, it takes a healthy and interconnected environment, free from threats like pollution, to ensure the long-term survival and resilience of coastal life. It is about the ability of coastal communities to recover and adapt after natural disasters. Despite the destruction shown, the continued presence of the village and the people indicate their determination to rebuild and withstand future events. The mangrove tree reinforces the idea that natural elements, when preserved and protected, can play a vital role in reducing the impact of these disasters. Also, the collaborative nature of creating diorama symbolizes the importance of community support and collective action in disaster preparedness and recovery.
The artist's choice of materials and the way they depict the scene likely contribute further to this message. Thus, the artist used the following materials to create the art work; Paper, Epoxy resin, hay, super glue, glue sticks, Sponges, Sands, Pebbles, Wires, Net, Clay, reused artificial plant, plywood, hanging hook, recycled box, recycled rattan plate.

? GIS analysis of data from the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) shows that municipal water within 15 km (307,590.7 sq km) is only 15 % of Philippine waters (over 2 million sq km). If commercial fishers are allowed to operate in areas of the municipal waters at least 7 fathoms deep, the area reserved for 1.1 million artisanal fishers would shrink to 2% while 98% of the country's waters will be open to just 5,000 commercial fishing vessels.

An underwater photographer captured the exact moment when a female seahorse transfers her eggs to the male, who will incubate them until they hatch.

Seahorses are monogamous and among the animals that show love for their partner in the most tender ways. At sunrise, they are so happy to see each other that they dance for over five minutes. With their tails intertwined, they greet each other with a "good morning," changing their colors to more vibrant shades. Throughout the day, they swim side by side, exchange affectionate gestures, blush, and make up after quarrels. They love enjoying life and good food: they can eat more than three thousand shrimp a day. They are the only species in which the male gives birth after incubating the eggs that the female lays in his pouch. They love each other forever.
