Ano an sinusugad nga EL NIÑO (SUPER EL NIÑO)?

An El Niño nahitatabo kada duha tubtob pito ka-tuig. Nahitatabo ini kon an dako nga kadamo san tubig sa este nga bahin san Kalawdan Pasipiko, harani sa ekwador, nagigin mas mapaso. Ini nga tubig nagbubuhi sin dako nga kadamo sin kapaso, ngan an kapaso tikang sa kadagatan naipapasa ngadto sa atmospera o hangin nga nakapalibot sa aton. Tungod sini, nagbabag-o an mga kahimtang san panahon sa magkadurudilain nga dapit sa bug-os nga kalibotan. Sa panahon yana, mas pinakusog pa ini tungod san pagbag-o san aton klima nga kun diin tinatawag na yana nga SUPER EL NIÑO.

IBA PA NGA IMPORMASYON SAN EL NIÑO:
An kabaliktaran san El Niño mao an La Niña, kung diin an tubig sa tropikal nga bahin san Kalawdan Pasipiko, harani sa ekwador, mas matugnaw o mapnit kaysa san kasagaran. Ini nga mga panhitabo sayo san mga hinungdan san dagko nga pagbag-o san kahimtang san panahon sa bug-os nga kalibotan.

ANO AN MGA POSIBLE NGA EPEKTO SAN SUPER EL NIÑO?

Nahibabalita yana sa aton nasyon nga an pagkamay-ada Super El Niño posible nga maka-apekto sadi nga mga butang:

• Kakulangan sa suplay san tubig
• Pagka-uga san mga tanom
• Pag-iban san produksyon san pagkaon
• Sobra nga kapaso
• Pag-kawsa sin sunog sa kagurangan sa sobra nga kapaso
• Dako nga epekto sa pangabuhi sa parag-uma ngan parag-pangisda
• Pag-iban san suplay sa kuryente
• Problema sa panglawas sa sobra nga kapaso
• Dako nga epekto sa pangiskwelahan ngan sa pang-adlaw-adlaw nga mga buruhaton

PAHINUMDOM:
Sa nahitatabo yana sa aton, maniguro nga makapangandam kita antis pa magkamay-ada san mga epekto san Super El Niño. Magtikang na kita mag-imbak sin mga pagkaon ug irimnon nga tubig ngan mga gamit nga para sin sini nga mga buruhaton. Padayon nga pangampo ngan paghirot sa aton ngatanan.

LOOK | Clean-Up Drive and Canal Declogging Activity in Barangay Bangkerohan

CATARMAN, Northern Samar — In support of community-based environmental protection and disaster risk reduction, NortEco spearheaded a Clean-Up Drive and Canal Declogging Activity in Barangay Bangkerohan on September 26, 2026.

The initiative brought together NortEco members and volunteers, Tau Gamma Phi/Sigma– UEP Chapter, Alpha Phi Omega (APO) – Eta Iota Chapter, MDRRMO Catarman, Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), Barangay Bangkerohan Officials, Barangay Employees and volunteers, in a coordinated effort to address accumulated waste and debris in identified drainage areas.

The activity began with the clearing of clogged canals and the removal of accumulated waste from the surrounding areas. Through the collective efforts of the participating organizations and volunteers, the activity helped improve drainage conditions while promoting proper waste management and environmental responsibility.

Beyond the physical work carried out that morning, the activity underscored the importance of community participation in addressing environmental concerns that may affect public safety. Properly maintained drainage systems can contribute to reducing conditions associated with flooding, particularly during periods of heavy rainfall.

The participation of various youth organizations, government offices, barangay officials, and community volunteers also demonstrated the value of coordination in carrying out local environmental initiatives. Each partner contributed through manpower, coordination, safety support, environmental guidance, and volunteer service.

NortEco also respectfully reminds residents living along and near the canals to help keep these waterways clear by properly disposing of household waste and refraining from throwing or allowing waste and other materials to accumulate in drainage areas. Keeping the canals clean is a shared responsibility, and the continued cooperation of residents is essential in sustaining the results of the clean-up and reducing potential flooding risks.

NortEco extends its sincere appreciation to the Barangay Government of Bangkerohan, MDRRMO Catarman, Environmental Management Bureau, Tau Gamma Phi/Sigma – UEP Chapter, Alpha Phi Omega – Eta Iota Chapter, and all volunteers who contributed to the successful conduct of the activity.

We likewise express our gratitude to our NortEco Advisers for their continued support and guidance.

The activity serves as a reminder that environmental protection and disaster risk reduction are shared responsibilities. Sustained cooperation among young people, community organizations, government offices, barangay officials, and residents remains essential in building a cleaner, safer, and more resilient community.

NortEco remains committed to creating meaningful opportunities for youth participation in environmental action, community service, and initiatives that contribute to the welfare of local communities.

Dako nga salamat sa tanan nga inupod ngan nagsuporta. Padayon kita sa pagburubligay para sa malimpyo, talwas, ngan mas disaster-resilient nga komunidad. 🌱🤝

Noong ika-19 ng Setyembre, 2026, ipinagdiwang ng NortEco ang International Coastal Clean-Up Day sa pamamagitan ng pagdalo sa Coastal Clean-Up ng Baranggay Dalakit Boulevard, Catarman, na pinangunahan ng Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO). Kasama ng NortEco ang iba't ibang ahensya ng Gobyerno at mga indibidwal na organisasyon tulad ng MDRRMO Catarman, DENR, PGENRO, Barangay Council, Barangay Volunteers, SK Council, Boy Scout CNHS Chapter, C1CS, BFP, PNP, Dalakit Engkanto Runners, at iba pang mga boluntaryong dumalo sa pagtitipong ito.

Ang 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧-𝐔𝐩 (𝐈𝐂𝐂) ay isang pandaigdigang volunteer movement na nagsimula noong 1986 at ginawang opisyal sa Pilipinas sa pamamagitan ng 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐨. 𝟒𝟕𝟎 (𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟑) tuwing 𝐢𝐤𝐚𝐭𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐲𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐞, libo-libong boluntaryo sa iba't ibang panig ng bansa ang naglilinis ng baybayin, ilog, at dagat upang makatulong sa pag implement ng mas maayos na waste management policies.

Ngayong 2026, ang tema ay "𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀". Ayon sa DILG Philippines, binibigyang diin nito na ang malinis na karagatan ay susi sa mas matibay na komunidad, mula sa proteksyon ng marine ecosystems, hanggang sa kabuhayan ng mga mangingisda. Tinutugunan nito ang mga hamon ng climate change na kinakaharap ng ating lipunan.

Bilang isang organisasyong pangkalikasan na pinamumunuan ng mga kabataang nakatuon sa pagbuo ng komunidad ng mga Nortehanong may malasakit sa kalikasan, nakiki-isa ang NortEco sa layunin ng kilusang ito sapagka't ang makabuluhang pagkilos para sa kapaligiran ay nagsisimula sa aktibong pakikilahok ng komunidad, tungo sa maginhawang kinabukasan.
