Dahil sa inaasahang patuloy na epekto ng "Very Strong" El Niño, inaasahang ang lubhang tuyong panahon sa malaking bahagi ng bansa sa susunod na anim (6) na buwan.

Kasabay ng paghina ng , ang pangunahing nagdala ng ulan sa bansa nitong mga nakaraang buwan, malaking bahagi ng Luzon na ang inaasahang makakaranas ng mas tuyong panahon ngayong Oktubre 2026 na inaasahang lalala pa pagsapit ng Disyembre.

Pagpasok ng 2027, inaasahang halos buong bansa na ang makakaranas ng matinding kakulangan sa tubig-ulan, lalo na sa Luzon at Visayas, na malawakan na ang inaasahang "drought", ayon sa climate outlook ng PAGASA.

Ang kawalan ng ulan sa mga susunod na buwan ay posibleng magpalala ng krisis sa agrikultura, kakulangan sa suplay ng tubig at kuryente, at mas mainit na panahon. Maging handa po!

'IF NO ONE CONTINUES FARMING, WHO WILL FEED THE FUTURE?'

At 19, Rostom Niel Cabangbang manages a one-hectare cacao farm in Maragusan, Davao de Oro, while studying in college. Raised by his farmer grandparents after his parents separated, he became caretaker of the farm so he could support his schooling, earning cash, food, or a 50 percent share when the cacao is sold. To stretch his income, he also raises chickens and pigs.

Now a second-year college student and an altar server in his local Catholic church, he feeds the animals before class and works full-time on the farm on weekends, weeding, pruning, harvesting, and packing cacao beans.

"Hardship is not a reason to quit—it is a challenge to continue," he said.

While many young people walk away from agriculture, Rostom chose to embrace it. "At 19, I decided to commit to farming because I realized it is not just a job—it is a mission and a responsibility," he said. "If no one continues farming, who will feed the future?"

He credits agricultural technicians, senior farmers, and mentors for much of his growth, and he believes farming is a mark of strength, not poverty. "Farming is not a sign of poverty but a symbol of perseverance and dignity," he said.

One day, he hopes to build his own sustainable farm and mentor other young people. "I want to become both a farmer and a teacher someday. Knowledge becomes more meaningful when it is shared," he said.

Concrete retaining walls are constantly fighting a losing battle against water and gravity. When water gets trapped behind a solid wall, the immense pressure eventually cracks and topples the concrete. True slope stability requires a system that gets stronger, not weaker, over time. Vegetated Gabion Step-terrace Systems combine the immediate heavy weight of stone with the incredible tensile strength of living tree roots. By planting live woody branches directly through porous, rock-filled wire baskets, we engineer a living retaining wall. As the roots grow deep into the hillside, they act like biological rebar, physically stitching the earth together. Because the rock wall is porous, water simply drains right through it, while the growing plants actively drink up excess moisture.

Instead of a sterile, cracking concrete scar, the result is a structurally invincible, terraced ecosystem that stabilizes the land and restores local habitat.

Why grow bok choy, also known locally as pechay (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis)? For many farmers, the answer lies in practicality. For others, it is about market demand.

But for Dino M. Mirafuentes, a 28-year-old organic farmer who owns the Ugmad-Ani Integrated Farm in sitio Esmaela, barangay San Jose in Ormoc City, bok choy represents something deeper: a crop that is fast, reliable, nutritious, and capable of sustaining both livelihood and community.

Agriculture is often seen by many young people as a poor man’s job, a dirty job, or a profession with little promise for the future. When students are encouraged to enroll in agriculture-related courses, many would immediately decline, not always because they do not value food production, but because they have already formed a negative image of farming before they even experience it.
