Logging in the Compostela Valley

REFLECTION: 

             God’s creation is a responsibility that the Lord gave to every man since He created this world and its permanence remains until today.

 However, man has reversed God’s order instead it is creation/creatures that became responsible over men which men did follow. To date, greed for power, money and prestige has destroyed men after their destruction of all that was given them. Men forgot its mission gradually, little by little, then to a great extent.

All of these surrounding realities are manifestations of men’s neglect of the environment. Illegal logging and mining is the cause of the incident. Corrupt local politicians and military officials are involved in the illegal logging and mining. If they did their job in evacuating the people, the death of people would not have happened. It is really a time to make the death penalty the punishment for corruption. The hundreds and even the thousands of lives lost because of the corrupt practices can no longer and must never be ignored. I expect government will need to make efforts to lessen the impact of natural calamity. We as a citizen should help and contribute by clearing the drainage; tree planting to help absorbed the rain water and helping the victims by proper medical care to affected families and insuring that there will be ready rescue equipment.

We need to take care for our mother earth. Today it is clear nature has spoken. There is a strong message for all of us and we need to wake up now though seemingly it may be too late. Yet there’s always hope.

MILEY CYRUS - THE CLIMB LYRICS

I can almost see it 

That dream I am dreaming

But there's a voice inside my head saying "You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking every move I make feels

Lost with no direction

My faith is shaking
but I gotta keep trying

Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be a uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing

The chances I'm taking

Sometimes might knock me down

But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it

But these are the moments that

I'm gonna remember most, yeah

Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong

Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be a uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb, yeah!
There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle

Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting on the other side

It's the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing

Keep the faith, baby

It's all about; it's all about the climb

Keep the faith; keep your faith, whoa
