Since they are the gateway to the Pacific Ocean, they are sure to deal with lots of incoming typhoons. With the cases of Typhoon Yolanda and the recently hit Typhoon Odette. With damages to not only livelihood, roads, but also to people's lives. The once sunny Leyte, wouldn't be the same after Typhoon Yolanda. Since every time I went back home, it was always cloudy and every year there was always a chance that there would be a major storm coming. ]]> 2022-02-22 08:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2060116812 ramonvecina https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2061822052 According to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), “The rate of intensification and number of strong tropical cyclones have increased, and tropical cyclone tracks likely migrated poleward.” 

According to Mei, W.& Xie, S. (2016), Typhoons hitting East Asia and Southeast Asia had intensified 12-15% since the late 1970s. The proportion of severe typhoons and super typhoons in the East and Southeast Asian region has also doubled. It was found out that Climate change affects the temperature of the oceans making it warmer. Because of this warmth, the typhoons that are formed in these oceans become much more powerful.

But in reality, it is a small solution to be able to solve this climate change. We must ask bigger companies, to stop using these harmful chemicals that affect our environment, even the mining that causes the rivers to dry up, must be lessened. We must speak up on whatever is destroying our environment, to be able for the higher-ups to hear what is happening to the world. ]]> 2022-02-23 04:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2061866856 ramonvecina https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2061941906 2022-02-23 05:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2061941906 ramonvecina https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2061990011 Almost all of the provinces in the Philippines has their cases of poverty. Because of many factors, like not much job opportunities, small working wage, and also climate change dealing damage to the agricultural products of the people in Leyte. As I was going around Leyte, there were "sleepy towns" wherein it was very difficult to get basic necessities, because they were really far away from the nearest grocery. The only way they could be able to get these was either to travel to the nearest town or buy from their local market. Most of the occupation of the people in Leyte, were either fisherman, pedicab drivers, or office workers. ]]> 2022-02-23 06:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2061990011 ramonvecina https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2062005180 Poverty stems from different problems. It has been a problem for almost centuries. But to be able to lessen this problem, it takes 1 step, which is to create livelihood programs that could be sustainable for the people. Since agriculture is their main source of products in Leyte, why not give seeds or develop a website, where farmers could directly sell their products to consumers. Or there could be an app where the farmers could be able to see data to what products people are finding nowadays, and what products sell best during this time of the year, so that they could be able to track and pick what produce they want to farm. ]]> 2022-02-23 06:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2062005180 ramonvecina https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2062006895 THANK YOU FOR READING MY SIMPLE PADLET, REGARDING MY HOMETOWN OF LEYTE.

These festivals tell a story of the history of the people in the provinces. The different festivals seen in the Leyte Province are: 
1. Pintados Festival
2. Sanggutan Festival
3. Lubi Lubi Festival
4. Pasaka Festival
5. Alikaraw Festival]]> 2022-02-23 06:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2062020081 ramonvecina https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2062021845 Because Leyte is a Agriculture Province, the hitting of strong and multiple typhoons has always dealt a big blow to their economic growth and for them to earn money. Poverty also has different factors like corruption, no good job opportunities. ]]> 2022-02-23 06:37:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2062021845 ramonvecina https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2069037088 Because of the geographic location of the Leyte province as a natural hazard prone province, since it is a gateway to the Pacific, which means countless number of typhoons would surely hit them. A way to be able to help these is by creating bridges, and roads that are able to withstand the strength of the Typhoons, since these are essential in the relief or the giving of help to far flung areas. As seen in this research article, with the help of NSAID they were able to determine which areas would be prone to flooding, etc. through their geographical location. Because of the different typhoons that are in their, it is best to improve the weather forecasting system, but people shouldn't rely solely on this, since as seen in the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda, still many people didn't heed the call to evacuate their homes, because of miscommunication of the term "storm surge". ]]> 2022-02-28 07:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2069037088 ramonvecina https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2069068388 Since Leyte is mainly an agriculture province, and in some places there is difficulty in the water irrigation, there is a need for technological advancement for the increase of water irrigation system in the province. Also not only that, farmers are also in need of monetary support from the government, to buy fertilizers, seeds, and others. The need for technology to support the farming, and easy harvesting of the crops is needed by the farmers not only in Leyte province, but also in the whole of Philippines. ]]> 2022-02-28 08:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ramonvecina/6m5eqzzpdyjlkm3m/wish/2069068388
