Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation The 2025 National Science Month celebration—with its theme “Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation” —arrives at a moment when the pace of scientific discovery is accelerating in many fields (such as AI, biotechnology, climate science, space exploration). This theme highlights two complementary ideas: first, that there remain many unknowns in nature and society that science must probe; and second, that transforming those unknowns into usable knowledge is an essential engine for future progress. In the Philippine context, such a celebration can energize students, researchers, and communities to view curiosity and experimentation as core civic values. Moreover, it helps signal to policy makers and the private sector that investment in R&D, infrastructure, and human capacity is not optional but foundational for national resilience.

                                        Climate Change and the Resiliency of Filipinos One of the predominant reasons for sudden or progressive changes in the environment that adversely affect Filipinos is climate change itself: rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and stronger extreme weather events. The Philippines is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to tropical cyclones, which have become more intense due to warmer sea surface temperatures. Droughts are harsher during dry seasons, while floods and heavy rainfall events have worsened during wet months. These sudden disasters can wipe out homes, farmlands, and infrastructure almost instantly, while slower changes like sea level rise and ecosystem shifts continuously threaten communities. Another key driver is deforestation, poor land management, and unplanned urbanization. The loss of forest cover reduces nat...

Intramurals are important because they promote teamwork, camaraderie, physical fitness, and school spirit through friendly competition. Participating in swimming during intrams allows individuals to showcase their skills, build endurance, and experience the thrill of competing in a sport that emphasizes both technique and personal improvement.
