Panahon Na! Climate Documentary for the Philippines

Watched the premiere of Panahon Na! Ang Pinoy at ang Hamon ng Climate Change last Aug 18 at the opening ceremonies of the Moonrise Film Festival. While this film came after Signos, GMA-7's climate documentary for TV, it is timely in its launch. The film gave ample time to discuss solutions to the Climate Crisis. It stated the importance of adaptation measures to be deployed like Albay's A2C2 (Albay in Action on Climate Change) and Dumangas, Iloilo's Climate Field School. These measures prepare communities to respond to the impacts of Climate Change such as severe typhoons,rains and droughts. There was also mention of mitigation efforts such as the efforts of the Renewable Energy Coalition to pass the RE Bill, AMORE's effort to solarize un-electrified barangays. The film really gives a feel of Leonardo di Caprio's "11th Hour" but with better pacing (i.e. you don't get too much info crammed into your head). There still are some editing glitches but overall, the quality is good. Kudos to the Presidential Task Force on Climate Change and Infinit1 for producing this film. The film is shown with every entry of the Moonrise Festival. Check out schedules at www.ceae.org.
