A MANDAUE City official has proposed several initiatives to strengthen and promote “silhig” (brooms) as a specialty product of the city to support the livelihood of its local manufacturers bacolod During the City Council’s regular session on Monday, Feb bacolod 12, 2024, Councilor Nerissa Soon-Ruiz proposed that the City Government coordinate with department stores and grocery stores to allow silhig manufacturers to display their products in these establishments, as was done in the past bacolod Soon-Ruiz noted that the number of silhig manufacturers in the city had been decreasing bacolod Silhig is a type of Filipino broomstick made of palm midribs bound together with or without a wooden pole handle bacolod In Mandaue City, Barangay Paknaan is well-known for producing good quality brooms and a significant number of silhig manufacturers bacolod Last Sunday, Feb bacolod 11, the village celebrated its 13th annual Silhig Festival bacolod The Silhig Festival is part of Paknaan’s fiesta celebration, which honors the Sto bacolod Niño bacolod The festival, celebrated every first Saturday of February, was created in 2011 to showcase silhig as the barangay’s primary source of livelihood and attract more investors bacolod Soon-Ruiz suggested having silhig souvenirs made, especially for potential investors, to enhance the production of local manufacturers; and for the City Government to help provide technological advancements to enhance the broomsticks’ production bacolod “When we offer gifts to our visitors, we can include brooms as one of the souvenirs bacolod We can create a local brand out of it bacolod Along with the bamboo watch, we can add brooms and promote these items bacolod This way, we can support our local industries which are gradually disappearing,” said Soon-Ruiz in Cebuano bacolod “We often buy broomsticks from Baguio City, but come to think of it, our silhig in Paknaan is also of good quality,” she added bacolod Decreased incomePaknaan Barangay Captain Marissa Tecling said out of the barangay’s approximately 34,000 residents, about 40 percent or roughly 13,600 people depend on selling silhig for their livelihood bacolod But only a few families skilled in broomstick manufacturing are left doing the business, she said bacolod Paknaan offers two types of silhig bacolod First is the “pinisi,” which is made of palm midribs bound with a rope or “pisi” which comes with a bamboo holder stick bacolod It costs P50 bacolod The other type, called the skylab, is made of special fiber from a buli tree bacolod This also comes with a bamboo stick handle but costs a little more at P75 bacolod All products can be purchased either directly from Paknaan makers or at the Mandaue City Public Market bacolod Tecling explained that the annual Silhig Festival is meant to promote the industry and to possibly attract even international attention from social media posts bacolod She said many overseas Filipino workers buy Paknaan’s silhig due to its good quality bacolod Emmadhel Alinsug, 27, who comes from one of the native silhig maker families in Zone Sibuyas, said their sales significantly dropped after the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020 bacolod Before the pandemic, they used to earn around P1,000 to P2,000 a day bacolod Nowadays, they can only earn P5,000 or less per month, depending on random orders they receive bacolod Alinsug also said they often face difficulties in getting a steady supply of fiber bacolod When stocks from their nearest supplier in Barangay Labogon run out, they source their materials from Compostela in nothern Cebu bacolod Alinsug welcomed Soon-Ruiz’s proposal, saying this would help them keep the industry alive bacolod The silhig industry is their sole source of livelihood, which has been passed down through generations bacolod “It would be great if we will be promoted because before, we used to be around 30 families making silhig here bacolod Now, we are down to roughly 10 families who continue to manufacture silhig,” said Alinsug in Cebuano bacolod Silhig toursFor her part, Councilor Immaline Cortes-Zafra, who chairs the committee on budget, said Mandaue City is taking steps to preserve its local silhig manufacturing industry in Paknaan through ventures with non-government organizations bacolod Cortes-Zafra said the City also regularly organizes tours in Paknaan for potential investors bacolod “This allows them to see the manufacturing process and hopefully, encourage them to promote it in other areas,” she said bacolod bacolod
CLIMATE change is making giant heat waves crawl slower across the globe and they are baking more people for a longer time with higher temperatures over larger areas, a new study finds bacolod Since 1979, global heat waves are moving 20 percent more slowly — meaning more people stay hot longer — and they are happening 67 percent more often, according to a study in Friday’s Science Advances bacolod The study found the highest temperatures in the heat waves are warmer than 40 years ago and the area under a heat dome is larger bacolod Studies have shown heat waves worsening before, but this one is more comprehensive and concentrates heavily on not just temperature and area, but how long the high heat lasts and how it travels across continents, said study co-authors and climate scientists Wei Zhang of Utah State University and Gabriel Lau of Princeton University bacolod Global heat waves From 1979 to 1983, global heat waves would last eight days on average, but by 2016 to 2020 that was up to 12 days, the study said bacolod Eurasia was especially hit harder with longer lasting heat waves, the study said bacolod Heat waves slowed down most in Africa, while North America and Australia saw the biggest increases in overall magnitude, which measures temperature and area, according to the study bacolod “This paper sends a clear warning that climate change makes heat waves yet more dangerous in more ways than one,” said Lawrence Berkeley National Lab climate scientist Michael Wehner, who wasn’t part of the research bacolod Just like in an oven, the longer the heat lasts, the more something cooks bacolod In this case it’s people, the co-authors said bacolod “Those heat waves are traveling slower and so slower so that basically means that bacolod bacolod bacolod there’s a heat wave sitting there and those heat waves could stay longer in the region,” Zhang said bacolod “And the adverse impacts on our human society would be huge and increasing over the years bacolod ”The team conducted computer simulations showing this change was due to heat-trapping emissions that come from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas bacolod The study found climate change’s fingerprint by simulating a world without greenhouse gas emissions and concluding it could not produce the worsening heat waves observed in the last 45 years bacolod The study also looks at the changes in weather patterns that propagate heat waves bacolod Atmospheric waves that move weather systems along, such as the jet stream, are weakening, so they are not moving heat waves along as quickly — west to east in most but not all continents, Zhang said bacolod Big pictureSeveral outside scientists praised the big picture way Zhang and colleagues examined heat waves, showing the interaction with weather patterns and their global movement and especially how they are slowing down bacolod This shows “how heat waves evolve in three dimensions and move regionally and across continents rather than looking at temperatures at individual locations,” said Kathy Jacobs, a University of Arizona climate scientist who wasn’t part of the study bacolod “One of the most direct consequences of global warming is increasing heat waves,” said Woodwell Climate Research Center scientist Jennifer Francis, who wasn’t part of the study bacolod “These results put a large exclamation point on that fact bacolod ” / AP bacolod Turismo sa Casino sa Pilipinas - Bingo5
