Filipinos deserve to know the TRUTH. 👍🏻

Exposing corruption and holding the corrupt to account can only happen if we understand the way corruption works and the systems that enable it. Sadly but a lot of times we are the enabler. 🥹

Hi, Malaya!
Fellow students,
Let's go back to basics 🌳🐝🛢️🌍
Plant more trees, respect our nature
And Improve our waste management.

Make it an advocacy please! Forests control floods by intercepting and slowing rainwater with their canopy, reducing direct impact on the ground. Their root systems help water infiltrate the soil, decreasing surface runoff and preventing erosion. Trees also absorb and store large amounts of water through evapotranspiration, further reducing the volume of water available to cause floods.

How Forests Intercept and Absorb Water

Canopy Interception:

A forest's leaves and branches intercept rainfall, slowing its descent to the ground and spreading the storm's impact over a longer period.

Soil Infiltration:

The intricate network of tree roots creates channels in the soil, improving its structure and allowing rainwater to soak deep into the ground rather than pooling on the surface.

Evapotranspiration:

Trees take up water from the soil and release it back into the atmosphere through their leaves, a process called evapotranspiration.

How Forests Reduce Runoff and Prevent Erosion

Root Anchorage:

Tree roots act like anchors, binding soil particles together and preventing them from being washed away during heavy rainfall.

Ground Protection:

Fallen leaves and the forest floor cover create a protective layer that shields the soil from the erosive force of raindrops.

Slowing Water Flow:

Trees along riverbanks and on floodplains can act as natural barriers, holding back and slowing the flow of floodwaters.

The Overall Effect

By performing these functions, forests reduce the speed and volume of water runoff, which helps to prevent streams and rivers from becoming overwhelmed. This significantly lessens the risk of both flash floods and river floods. Forests are considered a natural, effective defense against flooding, a benefit that becomes even more important with the increasing risks posed by climate change.

Be Vigilant Malaya!
Fellow students
Good morning! 🌵🌞☕

Nakita ko lang. Unti unti na nating nararamdaman ang epekto ng collective effort. When people stay vigilant, politicians and those in power start to realize na people are watching.

Isang project, parehong contractor, pero from ₱48.5M naging ₱28.8M. Kung kaya palang ibaba, bakit sa una sobrang taas. That is the power of transparency and public pressure.

Philippines and Filipinos deserve better.

Tuloy tuloy ang pagbabantay.

Corruption in the Philippines is a complex issue that has been ongoing for years, affecting various aspects of society, including governance, economy, and public services. We Filipinos express frustration and concerns about the impact of corruption in our country's development and our daily lives.
A lot of people advocate for stronger institutions, transparency, and accountability to address these issues.
Others point to the need for civic engagement and community involvement in promoting good governance.
What are your thoughts on this? 🤔
