The all new EVOKE season TWO: Air Quality in Manila
For my episode of season two, I have used Alchemy's template for the Food Security crisis as the basis of my script. I have decided to stick very closely to the format, mirroring the sequence of events and characters. The story, however, has shifted from Tokyo to Manila and the issue being tackled is Air Quality. The reason that I have decided to be so faithful to this script, and in some panels, replicate, word for word, some of the descriptions, is to reinforce the notion that this is a…

Emergency, Emergency: Calling all those who care!

From the 100 year old's mouth...
A visit to the Talaandig tribe in central mindanao 68 years ago, not only enriched my understanding of the importance of Indigenous wisdom, but it also solidified my vision for living. There was one painting in particular that really stuck in my mind. One vision, painted in soil by an artist named Soiaman, that left an indelible impression. It essentially depicts the interconnectedness of all things. We humans are fortunate enough to reside on a vast expanse of earth for a short while,… Continue

Typhoon Times- My Dark Site

Coming to terms with Uncertainty in our Literature Class.
This could well be the title of my IB English class.
As a literature teacher, I take advantage of the wealth of texts at my fingertips to probe this very concept.
It is my priority.
On my classroom wall there is a poster that reads:
EMBRACE AMBIGUITY.
The world is grey and that's okay.
This is a difficult concept for teenagers to grasp. But an important one. …

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
