🌿 KASAMA NG KALIKASAN: Balitang Kalikasan Summary 🌿

Sabado | April 11, 2026

Isang makakalikasang umaga, mga Kasama! Sa gitna ng init ng Abril, hindi lang panahon ang umiinit kundi pati na rin ang mga isyung dapat nating bantayan para sa ating inang kalikasan. Narito ang mga tampok na ulat nina Randy Remontigue at Jay Lim:

🏔️ Mount Banahaw: Banal na Bundok o Tambakan ng Basura?

Sa kabila ng mga "puesto" at sagradong layunin ng mga pilgrim nitong Mahal na Araw, nakakalungkot na 42 sako ng basura ang iniwan sa Mount Banahaw. May mga ulat pa ng sunog sa ilang bahagi! Panawagan ng programa: Mas mahigpit na Mandatory Trash Deposit at Checkpoint Inspection. Kung hindi madidisiplina, baka panahon na para tuluyang ipahinga at isara ang bundok sa publiko.

🐬 Trahedya sa Coron: Patay na Dugong Natagpuan

Isang 240-sentimetrong Dugong ang natagpuang patay sa Vega Island, Palawan. Hinala ng PCSDS, tama ng propeller ng bangka ang ikinamatay nito. Paalala sa lahat: Ang ating mga "Sea Cow" ay Critically Endangered. Sa paglago ng turismo, huwag nating hayaang malunod sa kapabayaan ang ating yamang-dagat.

🌏 Alam Mo Ba? Ang Earth dating nagnining sa Kalawakan again ay "Malamlam" na.

Mula sa nagniningning na "Blue Marble" noong 1972, tila nagiging kulay abo at malamlam na ang ating planeta mula sa kalawakan. Ito ba ay signos ng polusyon at pagkasira ng ating ecosystem? Isang visual na babala ito na ang ating "Vital Signs" ay nasa kritikal na antas na.

🥥 Niyog: Ang Tugon sa Krisis sa Enerhiya
Panahon na para sa Just-Green Energy Transition! Binigyang-diin ang potensyal ng Coconut Methyl Ester (CME) o biodiesel bilang panangga sa mahal na petrolyo. Pero bakit tila "bansot" pa rin ang ating pagsulong? Tinalakay ang mga hamon ng land conversion, ang kartel sa importasyon, at ang panawagan para sa tunay na seguridad sa lupa ng ating mga magniniyog.

☀️ Pampa-Good Vibes: Ang "Natural Reset" ng Umaga

Iwanan muna ang cellphone paggising! Ang pagtanaw sa luntiang bundok at kalikasan ay napatunayang nakakapagpababa ng stress (cortisol), nagpapatalas ng focus, at nagbibigay ng natural na Vitamin D. Gawing ritwal ang pagdungaw sa bintana para sa mas masayang mood at masarap na tulog sa gabi.

📻 KASAMA NG KALIKASAN: Summary ng mga Balita (March 28, 2026)

Isang makakalikasang Sabado, mga Kasama! Mabilis na lumilipas ang Marso, ngunit hindi tumitigil ang ating pagbabantay sa ating inang kalikasan. Narito ang mga tampok na balita sa ating programa ngayong umaga nina Host Jay Lim at Host Randy Remontigue:

🚩 MGA PANGUNAHING BALITA:

🛣️SLEX TR4 Expansion, kinuwestiyon sa Tayabas at Lucena! ⚠️Binatikos ng grupong Tanggol Kalikasan at ng mga lokal na residente ang proyekto dahil sa pagiging "procedurally deficient." Inirereklamo ang kawalan ng sapat na datos, banta ng matinding pagbaha, at pagputol ng mga puno nang walang kaukulang permit. Panawagan ng mga magsasaka: Hustisya sa Right of Way (ROW) bago ang operasyon!

🚢Illegal Dredging sa Lingayen, nagbabalik? Sa kabila ng utos ni PBBM, muling namataan ang mga dambuhalang dredging vessels sa Pangasinan. Daing ng mga mangingisda, tila "dedma" ang mga lokal na awtoridad habang nanganganib ang kanilang kabuhayan at ang seguridad ng ating karagatan.

⛴️Patrol Boat ng Team Kalayaan (KIG), matagumpay na nakarating! Matapos ang mahigit 2 araw at 3 gabi na pagsuong sa malalaking alon mula Lucena hanggang Puerto Princesa, ligtas na naihatid ang bagong patrol boat ng Team KIG sa Puerto Princesa City Palawan. Handa na itong magbyahe patungong Kalayaan upang magbantay sa kanilang municipal waters sa West Philippine Sea!

🐟Giant Tuna sa Burdeos, Quezon! Higit 200 kilong tuna ang nahuli sa Brgy. Carlagan! Patunay ito sa yaman ng Polillo Group of Islands (POGI) at sa malaking potensyal ng "Fishing Tourism" sa lalawigan.
