Don’t spend precious time and energy on why. Storms hit us because they are a part of life. Spending time to ascertain why it happened is counterproductive and may result to negative energy which may lead to stress

the determination to respond to climate change. This means that our government working for a biodiversity framework must learn lessons from other processes, for instance, the UN climate talks. One of the most prominent of these lessons in recent years has been the significance of non-state actors in conveying ambition. The 2015 Paris Agreement invigorated the contribution and involvement of non-state actors in climate change mitigation and adaptation initiatives and bring into being the Lima-Paris Action Agenda, which bequeathed a role to the private sector, local governments, investors, NGOs and citizens.


Executive Secretary to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, then wrote at the time, “the Lima-Paris Action Agenda … is a welcome and crucial expression of the reality of the contemporary world: namely

still in the process of profil- ing front-liners who will be prioritized for the inocu- lation program, while also awaiting a copy of the mas- ter lists from the different


LGUs in the province. Also included in the priority list, apart from the medical and health person- nel, are police front-liners manning provincial border checkpoints, she added. Estacion said they will have to clarify with the na- tional government wheth-


er the province will receive the vaccines for free so that the amount that Gov. Roel Degamo and LGUs earlier pledged can be used in- stead to hire the required personnel for the vaccina- tion teams. (Judy F. Part- low/PNA)


that catalyzing and delivering truly transformational action on an issue like climate change requests and requires that everyone is on board.” What goes for climate change efforts must also go for biodiversity. We need to merge the advancements made and build up the good mixture of a flawless, vibrant, single- minded and quantifiable post-2020 global biodiversity agenda. Also, a robust narrative that could connect nature and the economy - which the UK government’s Dasgupta Review has highlighted. The mobilization of non-state actors into the process, showcasing partnerships and solutions, as an example, the invigoration of the Sharm El Sheikh to Kunming Action Agenda for Nature and People. It is only by firming up this mechanism that we will catalyze actions allowing us to attain go-getting objectives on biodiversity preservation and


sustainable use.


state actors need to be heard and to have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully. Their active participation can help in many ways. Whether it helps to neutralize political resistance to action or guarantee that biodiversity intentions are thoroughly associated with sustainable economic and social development critical to the process. Their dynamic commitment


and engagement must be fortified and cultivated; they must feel a sense of ownership of the consequences of the consultations and discussions and share responsibility for delivering the goals.

more than eight decades of existence on this planet. Unlike storms like Tropical Storm Auring which hit our country last Sunday, we were forewarned, but most other storms in our life comes out of nowhere and rocks our peaceful existence. It could be a financial crisis, a death of a loved one, an illness like COVID-19, a house being washed away, failure to pass a comprehensive/final exam, and losing your job. These creates a sort of psychological earthquake where one’s world is divided into two parts: before it happened and after it happened. You have no choice but to put down everything and be in survival mode. Dr. Debi Silber (Bouncing

and illness. (2.) Take time to prioritize. When crisis hits, even getting out of bed may be all you can do…but it’s okay. Make a list of tasks to do but do not sweat on small stuff. (3.) Understanding that nothing lasts forever, is also an essential key. The crisis will eventually resolve itself. The sun will come out and things will go back to normal again. But what did the experience teach you? A colleague of mine (when I still worked at the Silliman University Medical Center whose house was


razed to the grown, in a fire downtown), gave us the following advice: have a flashlight at your bedside (because the power will be turned off during a fire), have the hangers in your cabinet/closet face one side ( so in case of an emergency, you can gather your clothes in one sweep), prepare a sack or a laundry bag in your closet which can be used to put your things in during a fire), and most importantly, keep all your valuables and documents in a bag or a place which would be accessible in case of an emergency. She shared with us that she could have saved more of their belongings if she did these things. (4.) Don’t be


afraid to ask for help. When someone offers to help you, do not hesitate to accept it, because reaching out to others does not only benefit you but also the one who is helping you. It gives them the same great feeling which you feel when you are helped. Do not deprive the other person that joy because you’re the one who needs it now.

pero among abot pangtab- leya ra, dili pangchocolate, karon nga nadugangan ang akong kahibalo sa pag- pananom ug quality nga cacao ug naa napo’y direct buyer mas ganado na jud kong mutanom (I grew up in cacao farming but our production is only for tableya and not for choc- olate. Now that I gained additional knowledge on growing quality cacao and now that there is a direct buyer, I am motivated to plant more cacao)," Olasi- man said.


and have faith in Him by: (1.) Reading and studying the Bible – this is one way of keeping your faith while overcoming the storms of life. Take time to read and study the Word, everyday; and (2) Praying without ceasing – this is the next key in overcoming the storms of life! Have a rich prayer life and lean into God’s grace in times of needs as well as everyday, as you speak to Him.
