NATURAL TERRESTRIAL RESOURCES

Our country, the Philippines, is truly endowed with a rich quality of soil evident in our natural terrestrial resources particularly in the agricultural aspect that we are enjoying right now. The most delicious kinds of fruits and crops are found here in our country and we are able to export these products in most parts of the world. These exported products received enormous recognitions due to their incomparable quality. Not only that, we are also gifted with natural terrestrial sceneries that we could be proud of wherever we are. But, come to think of it, although our country is considered blessed when it comes to natural resources, why is it that its people are experiencing scarcity? And we are also experiencing different tragedies such as landslides due to soil erosion resulted from careless cutting of trees or deforestation in our mountains. This month of August is all about the terrestrial resources of our country. Its beauty is immeasurable and undeniably marvelous. Our primary need to maintain the beauty of these treasures is RESPECT. We have to be responsible enough because these natural resources are the things that we can call our OWN. We could be aware and concerned enough so that these gifts will still be enjoyed by the next generation. Our ecosystem revolves in a give-and-take relationship and we should do our part to maintain the equilibrium it needs to achieve or attain to continue the cycle of life.
