Kalidad ng hangin sa Quezon City
April 17 - 18, 2026

QCitizens, pinapayuhan ang lahat ng lalabas ng bahay na magsuot ng face mask.

Base sa pinaka-latest na Air Quality Index (AQI), maraming bahagi ng lungsod ang "UNHEALTHY" at “VERY UNHEALTHY” ang kalidad ng hangin.

Kung di maiiwasan ang pag-alis, lalo na sa mga senior citizens, buntis at may respiratory diseases tulad ng hika, huwag kalimutang magsuot ng face mask.

Patuloy na mino-monitor ng lokal na pamahalaan ang AQI para tiyaking informed at updated ang lahat ng QCitizens sa kalidad ng hangin sa lungsod.

Para sa karagdagang impormasyon tungkol sa AQI, maaaring makipag-ugnayan sa Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability Department (CCESD) https://www.facebook.com/share/1BnCkmDobZ/?mibextid=wwXIfr.

Para sa health concerns tulad ng hirap sa paghinga, hika, at iba pa, maaaring tumawag sa City Health Department sa Tel. No. (02) 8929-8038.

Maaari ring tumawag sa QC Helpline 122 para sa iba pang agarang aksyon.

Statement:

We applaud the Bangsamoro Darul-Ifta for issuing a fatwa that declares forcing women to marry their perpetrator as haram or forbidden under the Shari'ah or Islamic law.

The Bangsamoro Darul-Ifta is the highest religious advisory body and issues fatwas, or religious edicts, that guide the interpretation and application of Islamic teachings in various contexts.

The fatwa affirms the fundamental rights of women and girls and emphasizes that sexual violence must be met with justice: victim-survivors should not be trapped in a cycle of violence and perpetrators should not evade persecution.

It also sets a powerful precedent for upholding dignity and respect, paving the way for a future free from violence and oppression.

Our planet is being pushed to the limits towards a crisis that, as Ms. Yols Rafol Esguerra DRRNetPhils co-convener and PMPI head puts it, "...endangers our life systems, undermines our human rights, and could ultimately cost us our lives."

BREAKING: Planet being pushed beyond limits, all climate indicators “flashing red,” warns UN chief.

The amount of heat trapped by the Earth reached record levels in 2025, with the consequences of such warming feared to last for thousands of years, the UN warned Monday.

“The global climate is in a state of emergency. Planet Earth is being pushed beyond its limits. Every key climate indicator is flashing red,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said as the UN’s World Meteorological Organization published its annual climate overview. | via Agence France-Presse

Maligayang Pandaigdigang Araw ng Kababaihan!

Sa gitna ng mga hamon tulad ng disaster, krisis, at pagbabago ng klima, patuloy na ipinapakita ng mga kababaihan ang kanilang tatag, kakayahang bumangon, at malasakit sa komunidad. Sa panahong may mga tinig pa ring nagtatangkang maliitin ang kakayahan at ambag ng kababaihan, mas nagiging malinaw ang katotohanan: ang kababaihan ay hindi lamang kalahok sa pagbabago. Sila ay mga lider, tagapagtaguyod, at tagapaglikha ng mas makatarungan at matatag na kinabukasan.

Ngayong Pandaigdigang Araw ng Kababaihan, patuloy nating kilalanin at suportahan ang mga espasyo kung saan ang kababaihan at batang babae ay may boses, may pagkakataon, at may tunay na kapangyarihang makilahok at manguna sa mga desisyon na humuhubog sa direksyon at pag-unlad ng kanilang mga komunidad.
