The 2025 National Science Month theme, “Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation”, reminds us that the unanswered questions of today can lead to tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

Our country, being an archipelago, is highly vulnerable to typhoons, rising sea levels, and sudden shifts in weather patterns.

Discipline: Waking up early for practice, following rules, a...
