Water shortage
The impending water shortage in some parts of the metropolis and Cavite province is ironic and downright poor governance for a nation that has just experienced the worst flooding in 40 years.
The shortage and imminent water rationing are a reflection of government’s seemingly low priority on water infrastructure amid a growing population and the highly urbanizing capital region. The government has not acted fast to address Metro Manila’s vulnerability to the supply shortage—Angat Dam to this date remains the lone water source of the metropolis.
A dry spell has reduced Angat Dam’s water level in Bulacan province to just over 200 meters at weekend. The lower level has prompted water regulator Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System to reduce supply from the dam by 13 to 24 percent from 46 cubic meters per second from February to June. MWSS plans to further trim the flow of water to just 35 cubic meters per second in June when the water level in Angat Dam sinks to just 168.21 meters.
The reduced output of Angat Dam means that as many as 65 villages in Metro Manila and Cavite will brace for water rationing next month. Valenzuela, Malabon, Manila, Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Quezon City and all villages surrounding Cavite City will bear the brunt of the reduced water supply.
The water shortage in Metro Manila could occur again in the near future when the El Niño weather pattern sets in. The government has actually prepared a blueprint to address water shortage in the capital region but lack of funding and political will have put the plan in the back burner.
The discredited Marcos government had thought of building Laiban Dam in Tanay, Rizal to serve as the second source of water supply in Metro Manila. The MWSS has lately revived the plan, with San Miguel Corp. emerging as the lone bidder for the project.
The parochial mentality of certain sectors in the society and corporate envy, however, have temporarily stalled the awarding of the project. Metro Manila and nearby provinces, in the meantime, will have to contend with water rationing.
Why Do People Smoke?
Why do people smoke when it is so bad for them? That is a question that everybody will most likely ask themselves. There is no definite answer, but there are some leads. People smoke because of the way cigarettes are advertised and where they are shown. People also smoke because they believe smoking will make them act, look, and/or feel different.
Who smokes? High school graduates, blue collar workers, and men in low income brackets who are more likely to smoke than men in higher income brackets, white collar workers and people with college educations. Women who work are more likely to smoke than housewives, or women in households with a low family income. In addition, children from households where the parents and siblings smoke may learn the habit more frequently than children in smoke free homes.
Advertising techniques are one of the main reasons that people begin to smoke. Cigarette companies claim not to target young kids, but that is very untrue. Have you ever seen a billboard with normal, middle aged person smoking? Do they show people with stained teeth, wrinkled faces, and a large cloud of smoke hovering over their heads- the direct results of smoking. No. Instead they have figures like Joe Camel. Some children are as familiar with Joe Camel as they are with Mickey Mouse! In the first 4 years that the Camel ads featured Joe Camel, smokers under 18 raised from 1% to as much as 30%. The cigarette companies know that children like humor and cartoons, and Joe Camel has both.
Ads directed to teens and young adults send out mixed messages for us to misinterpret. They send out the message, "If you smoke, you will be popular, and desirable" without coming out and saying it. Instead they show people having fun with a large group, which makes you think if you smoke that brand, you can have that much fun too. The people in the add are normally active, but when you smoke, your lungs are so damaged, it's hard to run and play sports. Cigarette ads targeted towards women always promote slimness. Six years after Virgina Slims were introduced, twice as many women were smoking. The cigarette ad makes you think that by smoking, you can become thin and healthy. All smoking ads are set in places with clean, wholesome settings, never showing the cloud of smoke that comes out of the cigarette. Advertisers know exactly how to target different groups of people, kids and women especially. The six American cigarette companies together spend three billion dollars annually for advertising. The reason for this? They need to pull younger kids into it to replace the smokers that have died or quit.
When you teach teenagers the dangers of smoking, it has a limited effect. They already know it's bad for them. Peer influence seems to play an important role in smoking. Teenagers who have close friends who smoke are more likely to be smokers themselves. Smoking may be viewed as a forbidden adult behavior, or even an act of defiance to authority figures. Poor grades in school and having parents who smoke are associated with teenage smoking. For males, not going to college is also associated with higher rates of smoking. This is not true for females. Parental approval or disapproval seems not to have any conclusive effect on teen-age decision about smoking. Smoking helps you make friends and make you more desirable.
Another reason why people start smoking could be from living with people who smoke. Children who grow up with smokers take up the habit more frequently then those who grow up in a smoke-free home. The Health Bulletin of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services revealed this as a fact. Peer pressure is a major influence among teenagers in our society. Young adults who have friends who take up the habit tend to start themselves.
There are many reasons why people start to smoke but is it worth it to start? Next time you see a cigarette ad, think about the truth and don't fall into the advertiser's trap.
drinking beer is sometimes good..
it helps someone's heart to mend for a while.
and it also helps "barkada"to be strong.
para sakin ang pag inom ng beer ay parang nakakapunta ka
sa isang place na kung saan wala kang problema
wala kang nararamdaman na sakit.
wag lang sosobrahan dahil minsan nagdudulot din ito ng violent
reactions..
sabi nga sa mga beer commercial..""drink moderately"""..
sabi naman sa isang kanta..""sa langit wala ang beer""
at sa beerhouse ..maraming beer..:-)
tagay para sa tagumpay!!
