I can show my highest form of love and selflessness to others by spending time with the people I love and giving them my undivided attention– especially to my family, who I seldom spend time with due to all the schoolwork and college preparation I have had to do this year.

This Christmas season, I can show my highest form of love and give my heart to others by giving back and sharing my blessings. I can give presents to the ates and kuyas in my village to thank them for everything they've done for me and my family the past year. I can also donate some of my clothes and some goods to those who may need them.

Since Christmas and the holiday season is nearing, I think a great way I can showcase my love for my friends and family is by still abiding by health protocols even though the mask mandate has been lifted. While we may be tempted to stop abiding by these protocols as there are now fewer cases for COVID-19, there are still family members such as senior citizens who are more susceptible to the disease. Personally, I think by simply doing this we are being selfless and more considerate to those around us.

If there was one thing my family has taught me, it is that Christmas is not all about the gifts I receive, but also about the gifts that we give. Now that Christmas is nearing, I can show my highest form of love and selflessly give my hearts to others by giving gifts to those who do not have access to it. There are families in the Philippines, who can't indulge in the joy of Christmas, for they do not have the basic necessities to do so. By participating in the donation drives facilitated by my Parish church and sharing my blessings to them, I will be able to send my love to many families and their homes. Another tradition that our family does is give balloons tho kids during Christmas day. I can give my hearts to these kids by passing them joy through every balloon that I hand out.

Since Christmas is the season of giving, I can share my blessings with others donating goods like fruit baskets to foundations and organizations that will share these to the less fortunate, as well as give money every Sunday during offertory. Besides this, I would also like to give gifts to my ates and kuyas who have spent the year helping my family and I around the house.

I am able to show my love for others by simply spending my time with them and by being there for them. I will share my support for them and help others within my capabilities. I will slowly but surely open myself to others and not be closed off for being scared and hesitant.

There is no right or wrong way to show our love for others. It varies from person to person as there are multiple ways to show our gratitude to the people we hold dear. Personally, I can show my love to others by spending time and accompanying them whenever possible. I am loyal and I want to make sure that they feel comfortable and happy. This is because I care for them. No need to do something extravagant so that I can give my heart. Even by just being by their side can my love be shown.

While we cannot fully judge the situation in India because of the different cultural, agricultural, or political settings, I believe there is more that the government could have done to prevent this unfortunate situation from happening. It seems that India’s agricultural practices have not moved on from using the slash and burn method, which is bad for the environment and accelerates the speed of global warming and climate change, so the government and the farmers should look into alternative agricultural practices that are safer and more sustainable. Considering that the smog is not out of the ordinary to the people, the government should be exercising their power to create and enforce laws to protect the people’s health and the environment and to tackle the root cause of the smog.

It’s true that change can happen on an individual level, and that a domino effect can take place when a person’s eco-friendly habits affect another, then another, then another, etc. Nearly every person has a voice and a wide network of people whose thoughts and actions they can affect. We can talk to other people about things such as the practice of the 5 R’s, Tweet about it, post on social media – but this effort has to have specific, attainable goals in mind. Posts generally about the environment mean nothing when we don’t bother to bring reusables with us most of the time because disposables are just more convenient. Support organizations that do bring substantial change, get involved with community efforts, and find ways to actively avoid products known to heavily contribute to pollution (despite the difficulty when it seems every affordable brand has its dubious practices). Lastly, as we reach adulthood – put your vote to good use and support figures active in the current problems in our communities. In 1988, the Montreal Protocol was signed in the Philippines, along with all the UN member states, and the proof of its effectiveness is shown in our news today. With the right leadership, along with the strong efforts of the community, real change is possible.

I can continue to help improve the state of the environment through holding big companies accountable for their unsustainable actions. To do so, I will refrain from using their products and urge those around me to do the same. Moreover, I can spread how such companies are being unsustainable online in order to reach a wider audience. It is important to implement various safeguards in one's life but we cannot allow ourselves to be held responsible for the large impact big industries have. It is also important to look towards the officials in your city and urge them to begin creating legislation that is in favor of the environment, not money-making unsustainable schemes.
