October is Museums and Galleries Month!
History should not repeat itself and should always be remembered. Museums and galleries serve as the home of memories that will narrate stories and events from the past. They are a dedicated space for the works of many artists, inventions of our scientists, discoveries and findings of archeologists, and specimens such as fossils and artifacts from antiquity.
In our country, the University of Santo Tomas Museum was considered the oldest existing museum in the Philippines, was formally established in 1869, to comply with the 1865 Reglamento de Segunda Ensenanza that required all first-class colleges to have a Museo de Historia Natural. Initially located in Intramuros, the UST Museum was later transferred to its present site at the paraninfo of the UST Main Building, built in 1928 in the Sampaloc district of Manila.
Moreover, The Institute for Climate Change and Environmental Management (ICCEM) of Central Luzon State University also has a museum. A natural history and biodiversity museum dedicated to different ecosystems in the Philippines. In celebration of #MGM2022, the institute will re-launch the newly renovated The ICCEM Museum (TIM) in the 4th quarter of 2022.
This year' #MGM2022 theme "Embracing Uncertainty: Showcasing Solidarity, Hope, and Recovery" honors the resilience and resourcefulness of the Filipino in overcoming the global pandemic as it moves forward to a new normal.

Small insects, like the Geina moth, are vital members of all terrestrial ecosystems and a big part of our rich biodiversity. We might not appreciate their integral role in the ecosystem because we barely observe them with their minute sizes. However, they are as important as other faunas and floras in restoring our ecosystem and maintaining harmony within our biodiversity. Plume moths may be considered a minor pest to some plants but they also serve as biological control agents to some invasive plant species. Moreover, they also play a vital role in the cycling of nutrients, food chain, and pollination.

[read more]Forests are considered one of the Philippines' most valuable natural resources, according to the Philippine Senate. They provide a wide range of ecological services, including food crops, livestock, and fish, as well as recreational activities.
In 2013, the forestry sector contributed Php 5.26 billion (0.12 percent) to the national gross domestic product (GDP) (2014 Philippine Statistical Yearbook).
Forests are also significant for biological conservation and environmental protection, educational and research opportunities, native flora and fauna habitat, and resettlement regions. According to the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), forests are home to 12-15 million indigenous peoples and constitute a source of income for many households.

[read more]A natural combination of life and the environment is known as an ecosystem. The biotic community, which includes plants, animals, and other living organisms, is referred to as "life." The biotope that encompasses the physical region of life is referred to as the environment. The term "ecosystem" was originally used in 1935 by British ecologist Arthur Tansley in a journal. The size of an ecosystem can vary greatly. It might be a vast forest or a small pond. Different ecosystems are frequently divided by geographical barriers such as deserts, mountains, and oceans, or are otherwise isolated, such as lakes or rivers. (Balasubramanian, 2008)
