Hello 🍃 climate change channel! Paterno of the 🛐 faith channel here. Sharing with you our latest vlog, which touches on a topic you might be interested in: the extreme heat we are all enduring in the Philippines.

We know that Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan, but did you know that they're also prohibited from drinking anything during the fasting period? So how do they deal with the heat? And why is Ramadan sacrifice meaningful for them?

Our production specialist Franz Lopez and I visited Manila Golden Mosque in Quiapo yesterday, April 4, to seek some answers. I hope you can pick up a thing or two from this report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFNsYiJjX84&

Hi! It’s the last day of the Our Ocean Conference here at Athens. Today, the Philippines received its third Blue Park Award for the work that the Siete Pecados Marine Park in Palawan is doing in its marine protected area. The Philippines is really considered a pioneer in conferences like this, and I hope more of our community-led MPAs will get the recognition they deserve.

Sharing here my experience going to the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center around two years ago! I went birding with some members of the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines. This could be another space to unwind at during the summer :) (To beat the heat!!!) I don't have my photos anymore but there were picnic tables there and gazebos.

In just a span of three years after the coal moratorium in 2020, financing for renewables amounted to $3.7 billion, while fossil fuels received $1.4 billion from local banks.
