𝐃𝐮𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐠 (𝑫𝒖𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒖𝒈𝒐𝒏), commonly known as sea cow—a gray or brownish streamlined body, paddle-shaped flippers, and distinctive whale-like fluked tails. It is a large marine mammal native to the warm coastal waters of the Indo-West Pacific. It is closely related to manatees and is the only strictly marine herbivore. Dugongs mainly inhabit shallow coastal waters, where they feed on seagrass using their downward-angled, bristled snouts. An adult dugong can consume up to 40 kilograms of seagrass daily.

Adults generally measure 2.5 to 4 meters in length and weigh approximately 250 to 500 kilograms. They are slow swimmers, usually traveling at around 10 kilometers per hour, although they can move faster when threatened. As marine mammals, dugongs must surface to breathe and can remain underwater for approximately 4 to 6 minutes.

Dugongs are distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific region, including the Red Sea, the eastern coast of Africa, the Indian subcontinent, northern Australia, and the coastal waters of the Philippines. They can live for more than 70 years in the wild. Although they are closely related to manatees, evolutionary evidence shows that their closest living land relatives are elephants.

Dugongs reproduce slowly, with females giving birth to a single calf approximately every 3 to 7 years after a gestation period of about 13 to 15 months. Natural predators include large sharks, orcas, and crocodiles. However, human activities pose the greatest threats to their survival, including coastal development, boat strikes, accidental capture in fishing nets, pollution, hunting, and the destruction of seagrass habitats.

The dugong is classified as Vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. Protecting this species requires the conservation of seagrass meadows and shallow coastal habitats through responsible fishing practices, marine protected areas, pollution reduction, habitat restoration, and public awareness. Conserving the dugong also helps preserve the biodiversity and ecological balance of marine ecosystems.

𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐫 (𝑹𝒖𝒔𝒂 𝒂𝒍𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊), also known as the Visayan deer is one of the most endangered deer species in the world, endemic to the Philippines—naturally found in Panay and Negros Islands, making it one of the flagship species of Philippine mammals.

It is known for its reddish-brown coat with distinctive white spots, which helps it blend in sunlight and vegetation of the forest. This species is more active at night and dawn or dusk due to cooler temperatures, making it comfortable to roam around the forest and search for food, and to avoid threats from human disturbance and avoid predators.

Ecologically, the deer helps maintain the balance of the forest ecosystem by feeding on fruits and other plants, and contribute to seed dispersal through moving into another area after eating—depositing undigested seeds that may germinate and grow into new plants. Its population also serves as an indicator of ecosystem health because a declining deer population may reflect habitat loss, deforestation, hunting, and other environmental problems.

Protecting the Visayan spotted deer means protecting the forests where it lives. Through habitat conservation, stricter protection against illegal hunting, reforestation, and public awareness, we can help increase its population and prevent its extinction.

Saving this species is not only about protecting one animal, it is also about preserving the biodiversity and ecological balance of the Philippines.

𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞, 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Every September, we celebrate Su***de Prevention Month—a time to raise awareness and remind everyone that we all deserve to feel heard, understood, valued, and supported.

It serves as a reminder that behind every silly joke, laughter, jolly personality, and even an “𝑰’𝒎 𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒚,” there may be feelings that someone doesn’t know how to express. We may not always know what someone is going through or what they are carrying beneath the surface. Sometimes, a genuine "𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖?", being a patient listener, offering a shoulder to lean on, or simply reminding someone that you care can make a meaningful difference.

We may all go through our own problems and battles—as students, teachers, parents, or simply as people. For students, academic pressure, deadlines, expectations, friendships, and family problems can sometimes feel overwhelming. There are days when everything feels too much, and that’s okay. We don’t always have to pretend that we are okay when we are not.

When you start to feel overwhelmed, take a moment to pause and connect with someone you trust, such as a friend, teacher, parent or guardian, school counselor, or another trusted adult. It's not always easy opening up, but you don’t have to go through it alone.

If you notice someone who's struggling, don't hesitate to ask how they are. A straightforward “𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒐𝒌𝒂𝒚?” can start a conversation that may mean more to you than you think. Listen without judging, take their feelings seriously, and let them know they don’t have to go through everything on their own.

Asking for help is not a weakness, but a strength. It takes courage to say that we need help, and reaching out can be an important step toward healing, growth, and finding hope during difficult moments.

Let us build a community that chooses kindness over judgment—a community where asking for help is met with compassion, understanding, and care. Small acts of kindness may seem simple, but they can remind someone that they are seen, heard, valued, and cared for.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐤𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐘 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

Smoke did not stop at Indonesia’s borders—it drifted across the sea, reaching Antique.

Driven by winds from the forests of Sumatra and Kalimantan, a gray haze traveled across the sea and reached Western Visayas and other parts of the Philippines. What began as forest fires thousands of kilometers away became a health and environmental concern for communities that never saw the flames.

A prolonged dry season, intensified by a stronger-than-usual El Niño, has fueled wildfires across Indonesia. In Kalimantan, forests and peatlands have continued to burn, with some fires lasting for weeks and threatening nearby communities. With little rain to put out the flames, smoke and fine particles have continued to spread, covering large areas in a thick layer of haze.

A scientist said that the prevailing southwest monsoon, or habagat, is currently helping carry the smoke from Indonesia toward the Philippines.

This is known as transboundary haze—a form of air pollution that crosses national borders. The haze is made up of smoke, ash, dust, and microscopic particles known as PM2.5, pollutants small enough to pe*****te deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream.

For people exposed to haze, the effects may begin subtly: an itchy throat, watery eyes, coughing, headaches, or difficulty breathing. Continued exposure to high levels of fine particles can pose greater risks to the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Children, older adults, and people who are particularly sensitive to air pollution may need to take extra precautions.

To reduce exposure, residents can wear well-fitted masks, particularly N95, when going outdoors and limit prolonged outdoor activities when air quality is poor. Children, older adults, and people with respiratory conditions should take extra care. Monitoring air-quality advisories and seeking medical attention when experiencing persistent coughing, chest discomfort, or difficulty breathing can also help prevent more serious health concerns.

Beyond its health concerns, haze can also reduce visibility, disrupt transportation, affect outdoor activities, and place additional pressure on communities and health services.

Yet behind the haze is a problem much larger than a gray sky. Every drifting plume is a reminder of forests burning, wildlife losing habitat, and communities living under polluted air. In Indonesia, the fires have become severe enough to disrupt daily life, with millions affected and schools in several provinces shifting to remote learning because of hazardous air quality.

The air connects us all. A fire that begins in one forest can eventually affect someone breathing beneath another sky. In the skies of Antique, the haze serves as a reminder that even distant fires can cross the sea, tint the skies, and affect the air we breathe.

The SciMath Club officers, together with Ma’am Liezel Lumogdang, visited the Dulungan exhibit campaign of the Office of the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer (OPENRO) at Tiripunan Hall to learn more about the importance of protecting one of the Philippines’ endangered birds.

The exhibit highlights the Dulungan (Rhabdotorrhinus waldeni), also known as the Rufous-headed Hornbill, an endangered species endemic to the islands of Panay and Negros. The species plays an important role in forest regeneration by dispersing seeds of the fruits it consumes, earning it a role as a natural “forest farmer.”

The Province of Antique observes Dulungan Month every August under Provincial Ordinance 2020-208, which aims to raise public awareness about the species and the importance of its conservation. Antique also declared the Dulungan as its provincial bird through Provincial Ordinance 2000-04.

The OPENRO, in partnership with the Haribon Foundation, National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, BirdLife International, Transcend, and the Zoological Society of London, conducts activities throughout August to promote the protection of the Dulungan. These include Information, Education, and Communication activities in schools and communities, as well as the Synchronized Hornbill Count.

According to Ma’am Rodelyn P. Pardico, Community Affairs Assistant II of the OPENRO, protecting the Dulungan is vital to maintaining biodiversity.

“We celebrate Dulungan Month every August every year as per Provincial Ordinance 2020-208 to raise public awareness. It is very important to protect them because they represent the health of our biodiversity.”

Pardico also emphasized that the Dulungan is endemic to Panay and Negros and that its population has faced significant challenges, particularly in Negros, where the species is no longer reproducing.

“In recent years, only a few mature Dulungan are left, with their population no longer reproducing on Negros Island. But here in Panay, we are making sure to protect them and inform everyone to stop hunting them so they can continue to reproduce,” she added.

The exhibit also features the threats faced by the Dulungan, including habitat loss, logging, and other environmental challenges. Through the campaign, organizers seek to encourage communities to take an active role in protecting wildlife and preserving the country’s biodiversity.

The exhibit will remain open until August 28, 2026, at Tiripunan Hall, University of Antique–Main Campus.

The campaign serves as a reminder that protecting the Dulungan goes beyond conserving one species—it also contributes to safeguarding the forests and ecosystems that sustain countless forms of life.

𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝑫𝒖𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒏’𝒔 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒍; 𝑬𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒕. 🦜🌿💚

🍃 Protect the pride of our forest! We call everyone to join the celebration of 𝑫𝒖𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒏 𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉 to protect one of the most treasured birds in the Philippines, the 𝑹𝒖𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒔-𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒍. Every month of August, we celebrate Dulungan Month, mandated by Provincial Ordinance 2020-208.

Dulungan Month is celebrated to raise awareness and protect one of the rarest endangered birds in the Philippines—the 𝑫𝒖𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒏 or 𝑹𝒖𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒔-𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒍 (𝑅ℎ𝑎𝑏𝑑𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑟ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑠 𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑖), also known as the Visayan wrinkled hornbill or writhe-billed hornbill. This species can only be found in Panay and Negros, making it one of the rarest endemic bird species that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

The Dulungan is one of the 10 hornbills uniquely found in the Philippines, named for its distinctive horn-shaped bill. This is also one of the three hornbills at risk of becoming extinct. This celebration is more than just about our rich biodiversity; it is a call to action for everyone to be part of this wildlife conservation.

Dulungans are often called "farmers of the forest," as they play an important role in dispersing seeds that generate the trees that maintain the balance of our ecosystem. They are also an “indicator species” whose presence tells us that our forests are healthy, water sources are protected, and the climate is stable. When the Dulungan disappears, the entire ecosystem begins to unravel.

⚠️🚫 Despite the help the Dulungans give to our forest, these species face continuous threats. This is not only about saving a single species—it is about preserving the health of forest, biodiversity, and ecological balance.

This is the time to act now; protect the forest, combat illegal logging, plant trees, and encourage others to care. Even a small action can make a meaningful difference.

Hear the Dulungan’s call. Act now to ensure Dulungan’s wings continue to soar and its voice continues to echo in our forest. 🍃🦜💚
