EDITORIAL: Global Warming

Global warming is one complex phenomenon.
This refers to the increase in the earth’s temperature. Air pollution, particularly carbon dioxide emission, contributes a lot to this problem. United States is the largest contributor to global warming, emitting more carbon dioxide than other countries like China, India and Japan.
As the climate changes, there are many consequences that the world would have to face: drought and wildfire, intense rainstorms, deadly heat waves, spread of disease, hurricanes and rise of sea level due to melting glaciers.
We need to preserve life. We can stop global warming by reducing the pollution from vehicles and power plants. Appliances should also be wisely used to conserve energy. Simple action plans like segregating our waste, recycling materials to form new products and joining advocacy organizations that show concern for our environment can help us to build a better world.
All of us have a part in preserving the resources our Almighty Father has given to us. We are obliged to do our best in taking good care of our Mother Earth for our own sake.
“Do your part in order to live harmoniously in this world; be a good example in preserving life.”MFR

SBO Corner

Greetings!
For this school year 2007-2008, the Student Body Organization aims to be visible to the whole community. Now, it does not only govern the HS department but as well as the GS. Our goal for this school year is to satisfy the wants and needs of each students in our little way.
In line with this goal, we have the following objectives:
To establish a way of living that would make us closer to God;
Projects/Activities: Outreach Program, Bible Sharing
To educate the youth to think critically and focus on issues that would matter to the youth;
Projects/Activities: Symposia
To encourage the students to be well-disciplined and aware of their behavior;
Projects/Activities: Cleanest Classroom Award,
Most Disciplined Class, Penalties
To establish camaraderie among the students; and
Projects/Activities: Mr. and Ms. MDPS 2007, Variety Show, Personnel's Day
To be able to raise funds for SBO projects and buy things that will benefit the students
Projects/Activities: Raffle, Foundation Day Booths
Of course, none of these objectives will be obtained if our fellow students would not help us. We are not closing the box yet. If you have any suggestions of projects in mind, you may tell this to your class presidents and they will be the ones to relay the message to the Council.
We hope for your full support and cooperation to the Student Body Organization and may God bless us all a fruitful year!
In behalf of the student body, we thank Fr. Michael Sandalo, CRSP, Ms. Louise Michelle Lozano and Mr. Donnerique Enriquez for being part of the MDPS Family! Godspeed!
