Feeding a projected global population of NINE BILLION PEOPLE while minimizing humanity’s agricultural and carbon footprint is one of the most challenging problems that the world faces today. What more now, when, the COVID-19-induced lockdowns have limited the supply of fresh produce from rural farms into cities in Metro Manila?

What kind of city do we want?

It's such a bold thing to answer but maybe the answer is already innately present all along. As cities spread out even bigger than ever before, the segregation of services is ever-widening to a point that even the basic necessities are inaccessible for people. Just when progress is supposed to bring more opportunities to the people, it went the other direction.

What if we build a modern community where everyone has fair and equitable access to all goods and services at arms reach? What if everything you need is all found a few blocks away?

The housing crisis kept ballooning over the years. Given that economic progress has been mainly concentrated on the Philippines' urban cities such as Metro Manila and Metro Cebu, a continuous uptick in migration of rural dwellers from the provinces to the cities has been taking place -- armed with the belief that their lives will transform due to the opportunities they will get.

Remote working has long been a global working habit due to the increasing accessibility of Internet connection and software programs for work. People can just bring their devices and find a place to settle down, get a cup of coffee, and start working.

The Philippines' commercial sector -- especially the traditional companies and their employees -- were among those that are the least ready for this working setup. When a Covid-induced, region-wide lockdown was imposed in high-case cities and towns in the country, the commercial sector could not stand idle. Since then, it has been found that working from home has increased productivity -- a total opposite than what traditional managers and business leaders thought.

All the numbers aside, how is this working setup affecting the city life now and in the generations to come? Is this a net positive to people's well-being, too?

Metro Manila is now home to sixteen (16) cities and one (1) town, with close to thirteen (13) million residents residing within the 619.6 km squared land area -- making it one of the densest places in the world. The capital has gone through a number of phases being the center of trade and commerce since the foreign occupation in the 16th century.

With progress came migration. Changing times meant changes in sociocultural landscape, leadership, political will, economic, social, and environmental programs. Through these changing times, how did Metro Manila evolve into what it is now? How did the evolution in urbanization for 400 years led to the challenges that are present today, and what must be done to head to a sustainable and humanized direction?

Climate change is real - and it is drastic.

The effects of typhoons year after year on the Philippines are worsening as they come by.  Just in November 2020, two ravaging typhoons raged the lands, destroyed nature, submerged towns and cities, and left Filipinos in desperate need for help. 

Yet despite the cold hard truths and the science-backed proposed solutions, the misconceptions brought by either lack or wrong information on the issue continues to thrive. What are these common misconceptions in combatting climate change and why are they false?
