The Philippine economic condition is now unstable, such that there is a need to awaken ourselves. In this manner we young boys and girls have to assist our government in any way in order to alleviate our economic condition through scientific discoveries and innovations. Creativity and environmental awareness inspire our farmers and households in maintaining healthful living condition.
