1. Based on your answers in the given table, do you consider Filipinos in general to be
guardians of the environment? Why or why not?
Based on the information provided in the table, it is difficult to make a definitive judgment
on whether Filipinos in general are guardians of the environment. While some suggest a
positive attitude towards environmental conservation, others indicate that there are
challenges and issues that need to be addressed in order to improve environmental
protection in the country. Overall, it can be said that many Filipinos have a strong
connection to the environment and recognize the importance of protecting natural
resources for future generations. However, there are also systemic and cultural factors
that contribute to environmental degradation, such as lack of enforcement of
environmental laws, unsustainable practices in the agricultural and fishing industries, and
a focus on economic development at the expense of environmental conservation.
Therefore, it is important to acknowledge both the positive and negative aspects of
environmental attitudes and practices in the Philippines, and to work towards addressing
the underlying issues that contribute to environmental degradation in order to truly
become guardians of the environment.
