Super Moon, Blue Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse all happening tonight: January 31, 2018

REP. ROGER MERCADO PUSHES FOR SCIENCE BILLS

Allow me to seize the opportunity presented by the January 31 “Super Blue Blood Moon” phenomenon, lunar eclipse, and the ongoing eruption of Mayon Volcano to advance Congress’ advocacy for science education.

I happen to have a bill, House Bill 2516, which seeks the establishment of a science high school in Maasin, Southern Leyte. I am also keen in co-authoring HB 4275 for the creation of a Philippine Space Agency. HB 4275 was filed by Manila’s Rep. John Marvin “Yul Servo” Nieto and Rep. Edward Maceda.

Unknown to millions of Filipinos who were born and raised in urban areas, fishermen take advantage of scientific phenomena caused by moonlight and the effects of the moon’s movements.

I am of the belief that fisher folk communities should also be taught about astronomy and how it can help them catch more fish and navigate the seas.

Now that Mayon Volcano is erupting, we are reminded that Filipinos ought to learn more about geology, volcanology, seismology, physics, chemistry, and biochemistry—the sciences involved in knowing how volcanoes behave.

From Maasin, the nearest science high school is a far 180 kilometers away in Tacloban City. I seek a better life for my constituents and science education is one way to bring Southern Leyte households out of poverty and help the province apply the sciences in the fishing, ecotourism, and farming livelihoods.

The Southern Leyte Science High School would have profound positive impact on my constituents and their future generations.

For the whole country, a Philippine Space Agency would help us have more man-made satellites useful for natural resource mapping, exploration of the Benham Rise and the South China Sea, and monitoring of our forests, integrated protected areas, and remote islands. (END)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
