By uniting in simple gestures of concern for nature and supporting various environmental causes, we wield a great power. Our nature is a source of strength, and it's our responsibility to care for it and what it offers. This collective effort ensures that the beauty of our nature and its wonders will be preserved for the future generation to experience.
Nature, despite its destructive potential, also demonstrates remarkable resilience. Whether it's a natural or man-made calamity such as typhoons, earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, landslides, etc., nature bounces back. This resilience is a testament to the power of the so-called 'force majeure,' an unforeseen event beyond human control. And it's a source of hope in the face of such challenges.
Many countries suffer from natural calamities and catastrophes that affect millions of people every year. The Philippines is known to be one of the world's most calamity-prone countries, and this is true. Filipinos have been the victims of these greater forces of nature, and the situation worsens yearly.
THE ISSUE OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Recently, scientists have extensively studied global warming and climate change. The analysis is critical to know how much damage mankind has caused to Earth. A great debate is going on regarding this topic as it draws massive global environmental concerns, especially from environmentalists.
ENVIRONMENTAL NEGLECT
Each of us has a significant role in preserving and protecting our environment. Our individual actions, no matter how small, contribute to the larger goal of environmental conservation. It's our responsibility to our environment, and most people have already taken steps and will continue to do so as part of their environmental contribution and legacy.

Unfortunately, some individuals have been negligent and driven by greed, leading to destructive actions that harm the environment. These people often underestimate the power of nature and its ability to cause harm. Activities such as illegal logging and mining, which are still prevalent today, have severe and often fatal consequences. If only these individuals were aware of the devastating effects of their actions, many lives could have been saved.
GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CAMPAIGN
A visionary named Bernard Weber started an organization that promotes environmental preservation and protection. He is the founder and President of the "New7Wonders of Nature." The organization aims to identify and encourage natural wonders that stand out and could be world-class tourist destinations. The founder wants us to appreciate nature's importance, wonders, and beauty.
The power of Social Media has been utilized for this global campaign to choose the next 7 wonders of nature among hundreds of participant countries who joined. People can participate in this campaign by voting online through the organization's website. You will have to choose the top 7 natural wonders of choice to be able to vote and will receive a confirmation email to let you know that your vote has been counted.
THE PUERTO PRINCESA UNDERGROUND RIVER
Luckily, through people's support, our underground river has been chosen and included in the top 28 finalists and the top 10. The big announcement of the "New7Wonders" will be on November 11, 2011, or 11-11-11. I am fortunate to have been part of this campaign by online voting and encouraging others to do the same to show their support. Indeed, it was an overwhelming response from them, and they have shown active participation by sharing the information with their friends.
I have ordered a personalized certificate from the "New7Wonders" website, which shows my top choice, the Puerto Princesa Underground River. This reminds me of joining this global environmental awareness, protection, and tourism campaign. This is a historical event, and I am grateful to have participated in and supported this campaign.
I am hopeful that our candidate will be on the official list of the "New7Wonders of Nature" and that we will continue to have environmental awareness in protecting and preserving the wonders of nature.
