DATE PUBLISHED: March 2022

The article came from an Ideas-Based online Magazine of the Global Network for advanced management which discusses how climate change is affecting the Philippines especially in Mindanao. It faces serious problems because of climate change such as strong storms, longer periods without rain, and hotter temperatures. These changes are bad for farming, a big part of livelihood for many people in Mindanao. When there's not enough rain, crops die, and it's hard to work outside when it's too hot. Also, in cities, the heat can make people sick. The article emphasizes that we need to do something quickly to help Mindanao deal with these problems caused by climate change before they get even worse.

TITLE: Philippines Climate Risk Profile - Mindanao 

AUTHOR: CGSpace

DATE PUBLISHED: June 2019

KEY CONTENT:

•  In Mindanao, agriculture, contributing 40% of the nation's production, grapples with challenges like an export-oriented model, widespread poverty, and climate change impacts. Poor information dissemination worsens these challenges, hindering farmers from adopting adaptive practices. The export-focused growth model leads to inequalities and conflicts. Pervasive poverty limits smallholders' growth, with only a fraction producing a marketable surplus. Inadequate information impedes access to markets and inputs, causing low productivity. Addressing poor information dissemination is crucial for empowering farmers to navigate climate challenges, break the poverty cycle, and ensure sustainable agricultural development in Mindanao.

AUTHOR: The New Builder 

DATE PUBLISHED: November 27, 2020

KEY CONTENT: 

• The main message reflected in the editorial cartoon is the suffering endured by Filipinos during natural disasters, questioning why such suffering persists despite potential solutions made by the government. It emphasized that despite the Philippines already suffering the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic, recent occurrences of typhoons such as typhoon Ulysses that drowned the province of Cagayan burden the livelihood of Filipinos even more. However, even with relief operations and donation drives, many people believe that it is not enough to reduce the impact created on Filipinos after such severe effects of climate change. The visual editorial cartoon emphasizes a solid connection to the research issue since this is considered a call for awareness of the inattention to lack of disaster preparedness & resiliency, and information, and addresses the issue of government neglect to combat natural disasters that do not reduce the impacts of climate change.
