It has been 9 years since Super Typhoon Yolanda struck the Philippines, but mostly in the Visayas which caused the deaths of many. This November 23, 2022 (Wednesday), the VSU Meteorological Society will hold a program and candle lighting activity with the theme "Paghinumdom: A Moment of Peace and Solemnity in Commemoration of Super Typhoon Yolanda's 9th Anniversary" to remember the victims and survivors of the tragic disaster.

The VSU MetSoc invited other organizations such as HOMES, OBios, VSU Students of Destiny, Tarsier, and CET-SSC Committee on Alternative Education to collaborate and join hands with us in remembering the Yolanda victims and survivors. Moreover, the event was able to push forward with the sponsorship of Climate Reality Project Philippines.

With that, everyone is welcome to attend the Yolanda Aftermath Commemoration at 3:00-6:30 PM tomorrow at the CET-SLH for the program and the VSU Ecopark for the candle lighting activity.

Greetings fellow environment advocates!

The start of something new is on! The TARSIER Philippines is happy to announce that the first physical orientation after almost three-year hiatus will be happening on November 19, 2022.

This orientation will relive our existence as a luminary of the environment, nation builders, and as the bridge for youth-led environmental programs.

Eyes here, Viscans!

The face-to-face classes in the middle of a global pandemic is our way of adapting to a "better new normal" as a human being and as a society amidst the risks of the virus brought upon by CoVID-19. We know that these risks can be stopped and or minimized with the help of vaccines. Vaccination protects not only you, but also those in your community who cannot be immunized. Get vaccinated if you are able.

Hingyap PH-VSU joins DOH's campaign "PinasLakas" by implementing one of its core programs, the "Youth for ," in collaboration with UNILAB Foundation, Ideas Positive Alumni Community-EV Chapter, the Department of Health, the City Health Office of Baybay City, and USHER.

Get vaccinated or boosted by joining us at the VSU-Main Campus for this two-day CoVID- 19 vaccination drive. Full details of the venue and date are to follow.

Nine years ago, Eastern Visayas and multiple other areas in central Philippines were struck by the brutal and terrifying ferocity of Super Typhoon "YOLANDA" (Haiyan). It was 4:40 AM on the 8th of November 2013 when "YOLANDA" made its first fateful landfall over the municipality of Guiuan, Eastern Samar with 10-minute maximum sustained winds peaking at 235 km/h as estimated by DOST-PAGASA. It made five more landfalls over the Dulag-Tolosa area in Leyte; Daanbantayan, Cebu; Bantayan Island, Cebu; Concepcion, Iloilo; and Busuanga Island, Palawan.

The extremely intense winds, the unrelenting rains and the enormous waves and storm surge from "YOLANDA" left in its wake a swath of catastrophic destruction that was beyond comprehension. But worse than the material destruction are the thousands of human lives lost—dead and missing—and the millions more who survived but were left homeless and traumatized by the disaster.

But the Filipino spirit is one that perseveres despite the hopelessness and is one that imbibes gratitude and humility. We, the survivors of "YOLANDA", were broken and defeated yet we were still able to rise up again from the rubble and start building back from whatever was left from the catastrophe. Local, national and international aid poured in from generous hearts in the country and around the world. Soon, steady recovery and development bloomed among the striken communities years after the notorious super typhoon.

Nevertheless, this resiliency is not something that must be romanticized but it must be something that leaves a legacy for and inculcates vital lessons to all of us.

Now that we are in the ninth year of commemorating Super Typhoon "YOLANDA" (Haiyan), let us once again honor our loved ones and other fellow Filipinos who lost their lives from the catastrophe. And may the experience, memory and history of "YOLANDA" teach us to value our temporary human lives and relationships, to seek accountability from authorities, to make our meteorological knowledge and our disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) systems more robust, and to make utmost priority to climate justice and responding to the climate crisis.

Join us this coming November 23, 2022 (Wednesday) at 3:00–6:00 PM for the 9th YOLANDA AFTERMATH COMMEMORATION, to be held at the SLH and the VSU Ecopark in collaboration with HOMES, CET CAE, TARSIER, OBioS, and SOD; and sponsored by The Climate Reality Philippines.

To continue the fight and legacy for environmental conservation, sustainable development, and youth empowerment, the Terrestrial and Aquatic Restorations by Students Immersed in Environmental Reforms (TARSIER) welcomes the new members of the organization for A.Y. 2022-2023.
The new members have accepted the challenge to advocate the vision of the organization, following extensive screening applications last October 24, 2022.
As TARSIER grows big this year, we will commit to continue being the agent of change through collaborative and youth-led initiatives for climate justice and accountability that can define our future on this planet.
