IF PEOPLE PERCEIVE RELEVANT CHANGES IN THE ENVIRONMENT
THEY ARE IN, THEY READILY ADAPT THEIR BEHAVIOUR TO MEET
THESE NEW CHALLENGES FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT

COUNTRY AND BECAUSE YOU WANT TO SURVIVE YOU HAVE TO
ADJUST YOURSELF ON THE PARTICULAR PROCESS

Many researchers on global warming and climate change focus
mostly on what it will bring to the future.

Climate change serves as new challenge to humans today.

The changing climatic conditions that we experience tell us that
there is an existing environment problem that needs to be
addressed immediately so that it will not give too much negative
impact to human being in the future.

Everyone must do something and act on global warming and
climate change to ensure the survival of human species.
Global warming and climate change

Today, different programs are being implemented worldwide to
prevent further global warming and avoid climate change.

Despite of this, its effect will definitely last many years from
now.

Therefore, adaptation to the resulting changes in climate
change is necessary

The goal of adaptation to climate change is to increase the
ability of our environmental social, and economic system to
cope with the problem
TRANSNATIONAL MIGRATION AND
OVERSEAS FILIPINO WORKER



THESE ARE ONE OF THE THREATENING CHANGES THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW IN OUR COUNTRY

A LOT OF PROFESSIONALS HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES WERE ALREADY WORKING
IN DIFFERENT PLACES ACROSS THE GLOBE MEANING TO SAY THEY FOUND
ANOTHER PLACE TO SURVIVE AND THEY’RE NOT SATISFIED FOR THE KINDS OF
COMPENSATION THAT THEY ARE ACCEPTING IN THIS PARTICULAR COUNTRY
