Maja Blanca

By the year goes by so fast some of our fellow Filipino netizens invented a different way of
cooking Maja Blanca Recipe such as by adding Langka (Jackfruit) to the original recipe while
others add Cheese, Ube (Purple Yam) to put some twist and to make the taste more flavorful.

ingredients
2 cups cornstarch
4 cups coconut milk
1 cup Nestle cream or light cream
1.5 cups white sugar
3 cups evaporated or fresh milk
1 cup diced cheese
1 cup corn kernel
instructions
In a Pot, Mix all the ingredients ( leave some corn and cheese for toppings later) mix well until
the cornstarch is fully dissolved then cook over medium heat stirring well to avoid it from settling
at the bottom of the pot.
Continue stirring until the mixture becomes firm, allow to simmer for a while before transferring
to a molding tray.

Pour to container or molding tray then top with cheese and corn let cool and refrigerate before
serving.

Earth's present condition is that it is in a damged state and under threat from dangers including
those arising from global warming.

These threats include greenhouse gases,droughts and floods,hunger and famine and devastating
diseases such as malaria and aids.

Some experts scientists are calling for carbon taxes to cut the risk. Damage from flooding alone
could run into billions of dollars as creeks and estuaries beging to fill up and more ice melts.
Climate change is seen by some scientists to present the biggest threat to our world today. The
whole world needs to effect remedial strategies by co-operating.
Levels of gases such as carbon dioxide are rising still and we are still at risk from deforestation
and the burning of fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases may cause the world to warm up as heat
cannot escape effectively from the surface of the planet. All of this might throw the natural
rhythms of our world's climate. That's where we're at right now!

MANILA, Philippines – Climate change is happening now and it's happening, not in far-flung
corners of the world, but in human communities.
Scientists say human activities are largely responsible for the continued increase in average
global temperatures, which causes climate change. Global greenhouse gases emitted by the
fossil fuel industry (which gives us electricity and fuels our cars) trap heat in the Earth's
atmosphere thus warming the entire planet.
Philippine cities will likely experience at least one of these effects of climate change:
1. More intense El Niño
The El Niño phenomenon occurs when the surface of ocean waters in the southern Pacific
becomes abnormally warm. The energy created by this warming is so great that it can create an
imbalance in the weather in different parts of the world. In Southeast Asia, it can lead to
abnormally dry conditions.
El Niño can also make other weather events like storms highly unpredictable. Weather will have
extreme highs and lows, making it "increasingly difficult to accurately predict weather patterns
for purposes of planning and normal business operations," says a WWF-Philippines study.
2. Sea surface temperatures to riseBy the end of the century, sea surface temperatures are
expected to rise by 1 to 4 degrees Celsius. This can lead to more powerful storms because storms
get their strength from heat rising from the sea.
In the Philippines, 4 and 5 degree Celsius spikes above the normal sea surface temperature have
been recorded. Warmer seas kill coral reefs and can thus lead to a decline in fish catch, putting
food security in danger.
3. Ocean acidification
The shift in the Ph levels of our oceans can lead to widespread coral reef death. Because of the
imbalance, shrimps are not able to develop skins, oysters cannot develop shells. Fish larvae may
not be able to develop bones. This further endangers food security and the livelihood of
fishermen.
4. Sea levels to rise by 4 to 6 meters
Current data show an increase in sea surface heights. Scientists say this is due to the melting of
ice sheets in northern portions of the globe like Antarctica and Greenland. Sea level rise by 4 to 6
meters can submerge low-lying communities like Tacloban City which stands only 3 meters
above sea level.
5. Tropical cyclones to intensify
The creation of tropical cyclones is already being recorded in areas where the phenomenon had
never been observed. On Nov 8, 2013, Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), said to be the strongest
storm in recorded history, devastated cities in Visayas.
6. Rainfall, river flow and flooding to intensify
Monsoon rainfall in the Philippines will reach new highs and lows. Some parts of the country will
experience an upward trend in rainfall while other parts will experience an intensification of
drought. These two extreme poles of weather will make it more difficult for agriculture and
aquaculture sectors which are highly dependent on weather.
