The 2025 National Science Month celebration, anchored on the theme “Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation” (as declared in DepEd Division Memorandum No. 305, s. 2025) , presents not just a yearly commemoration of scientific awareness, but also an invitation to imagine how society and science will coevolve in the decades ahead. The phrasing “harnessing the unknown” points to the humility and ambition that should guide science: we acknowledge that there remain mysteries in nature and society, yet we commit to exploring them. And “powering the future” frames science and innovation as engines, not mere observers, in shaping what comes next. Over the coming decades, the bond between science and society will deepen and become more reciprocal. Scientific advances will increasingly emerge from contexts shaped by societal needs—health security in pandemics, climate resilience in the face of extreme events, sustainable food systems under resource constraint...

The Philippines faces rampant environmental change driven by different activities. 1. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change The core activities causing those changes are increased greenhouse gases' concentration, particularly the burning of fossil fuels (especially coal and oil) for energy production, coupled with transportation, industries, and loss of forests. The GHGs trap heat in the atmosphere and the oceans, which causes increases in extreme weather events such as super typhoons and heavy rainfall, shifts in precipitation patterns, rise in sea levels, and increase the risk for droughts on some areas. 2. Deforestation and Changes in Land Use. Logging, agriculture encroachments, and urbanization diminish the forest's natural defenses. In carbon dioxide absorption and regulation of the water cycle, forests play a crucial role. With the destruction of trees, the soil becomes vulnerable to erosion, landslides, and floods, especially during most heavy rainfall...

the basketball was fun to watch because  there were so many people watching even from the outside seeing the excitement and the shots always get everyone cheering.
