Violence against women is still one of the most widespread and horrific human rights violations in the world. It comes in many forms, including physical, sexual, emotional, and economic abuse, and impacts women of all ages, races, and socioeconomic statuses. Despite great strides in gender equality and women's rights, violence against women remains unacceptably high, and millions are affected by it each year. This violence is both a personal tragedy for the victims and a social one, undermining communities and hampering the progress of nations. Root Causes The root causes of violence against women are deeply embedded in gender inequality, cultural norms, and systemic discrimination. The society that is patriarchal encourages bad stereotypes that place women on inferior positions, emphasizing how men have control over the woman's body and life. Much violence becomes normative or ignored by community members, law enforcement, and sometimes by governments, so that there are often...

National Indigenous Peoples Month 2024, with the theme "Mga Katutubo at Katutubong Dunong: Pahalagahan, Pangalagaan at Parangalana" (Valuing, Nurturing, and Honoring Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Knowledge), plays an important role in promoting and protecting the rights and culture of Indigenous Peoples (IPs) in the Philippines.

Elpidio Quirino was born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. He was from a very influential family; his father was a lawyer and judge. Quirino was a high achiever academically. He graduated with a law degree from the University of the Philippines in 1915, after which he passed the bar exam. His early career saw him working in government as a private secretary and later as a civil servant. Quirino's deep commitment to public service led him to a series of positions, including assistant executive secretary, where he gained valuable experience in the inner workings of the Philippine government.

As senator, he became famous for his legislative work, particularly those concerning education, health, and social welfare.

Among the many factors that lead to abrupt or gradual changes in the environment, climate change is one of those that prominently disrupt and influence various aspects of how Filipinos live their lives. The chief culprit is the rising global temperatures driving starker-weather extremes like more powerful typhoons, longer droughts and more sporadic rainfall. Typhoons wreck havoc across the Philippines, an archipelago prone to flooding, landslides and infrastructure damage. Such extreme weather conditions cause significant agriculture disruptions, have serious effects on food security, and put lives as well livelihoods at the coastlines and rural parts of the countries at risk. Moreover, killing trees and misusing natural resources worsen the already degraded environment. The massive deforestation from logging, mining and urbanization has removed forests that once acted as storm surges against floods and erosion but also mangroves or the wetlands. Lacking these ecosystems leaves many vu...
