3. Activity No. 1: Kay Ganda ng Pilipinas Ad Campaign (10 minutes)
Procedure:
1.Visualize a beautiful local destination or tourist spot that you
really want to visit. Probably you have seen it in postcards or
books as part of your Social Studies. In your most creative way,

friends. You may use any of the following means of promoting it:
Spoken Poetry
Original song composition or adaptation/jingle/ rap
Doodle art
Painting/drawing or sketching
Creating a dance video
4. Processing question:
1.What realizations did you have while
doing the activity?
2.What would it mean for the entire human
race?
3.Why is there a need to protect these
natural resources?
5. Protecting Our Natural Resources
We only have one planet, and we need to take care of it.
But are we really taking care of it? It is not beyond our
knowledge that because of climate change, overpopulation,
biodiversity loss, and pollution, we are at the urgent threat
from the degradation or even total diminution of our natural
resources. The environment is changing immensely, and
the natural resources are truly vulnerable to deterioration
and pollution. We must strive to at least reduce the
depletion of our natural resources so that our future
generation can still be secured with a habitable planet.
6. Sadly though, as cities and provinces develop, our
natural resources are also compromised, and it doesn’t
stop there. Global warming has become one of the major
problems worldwide since it affects the whole planet and
slowly engulfs our world every minute. In the Philippines,
Filipinos are already feeling this effect. Low pressure
typhoons have evolved into super typhoons, and in some
incidences, tornados. Monsoon rains in recent years
result to flash floods most of the time. Temperatures rise
and our heat index has increased dramatically. All these
adversely affect not only the environment, but our very
health and lives as well.
7. Preservation of the natural environment is essential for maintaining
community sustainability. Here are various approaches and techniques
used successfully in different communities to protect and restore their
natural resources.
Water – river restoration and watershed protection.
Energy- using energy efficient appliances, and harnessing the
power of solar energy, and wind energy.
Air and Climate – solving the global warming problem through civic
engagement and education and getting ready for extreme
weather events.
Biodiversity – global environment and biomedicine to explore human
health consequences, biodiversity support programs,
ecosystem study, research, and outreach.
Land, Forests, and Ecosystems – land conservation, ecosystem
protection, tree planting, forest policy and urban forestry.
