#WeWantEstes trends for Blacklist International's championship skin request

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Amid the online clamor for the Estes, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Esports said the M3 champion skin is yet to be determined.

#WeWantEstes trends as fans, members, and officials of Blacklist International urge Mobile Legends: Bang Bang developer Moonton to reconsider a decision to allegedly deny the M3 World Champions' request to create a championship skin for support hero Estes.

Respect Blacklist's choice to have an M3 skin for Estes. This is their golden chance to show that their advocacy for Equality in Gaming is not just lip service. They should honor their word.

"I want to choose Estes because it's the trademark of Blacklist International since season 7"

Estes is now a widely used support hero, one of the reasons is because of UBE strategy, the most dominant and well-known strat in the history of Mobile Legends. It's also the 1st time that a team was able to sweep the grandfinals not to mention that Blacklist has the longest run in the history of M-tourna. Estes is the foundation of UBE.

Make that hero remarkable and noticeable. Kahit taga-ibang bansa gunagamit narin niyan. Ginagaya na meta sa Pilipinas.

We know that Mobile Legends is better known in the Philippines because of Blacklist International and because they are the champion (M3).

The Moonton should be in favor of the champion's decision! As Estes said "I am the chosen one!"

At least give the players and the fans a valid reason why Estes should not be the hero for M3 Skin. That skin is supposed to represent their team!

Moonton, respect the champions voices cause if you guys already plan the skin then what is the essence of M3 and the hero skin choice of Blacklist?

People already know that Estes is their trademark hero and they also agreed about that in M3 Live. Respect please!!!

Respect support hero users. Give Blacklist their choice of skin.

Remember the names.

Hail the Queen and Kings of MLBB.
This is Blacklist International.

Tips to Improve Your Focus

Wazzup Pilipinas!?


Many people struggle to focus during certain scenarios. Knowing how to improve your focus will result in a healthy lifestyle overall. When you can easily focus on important tasks, you become more organized and you’re able to achieve your goals. A high level of focus will lead to more tasks being completed faster and more efficiently.

While CBD products may be promising for focus, there are other ways to improve focus.

So, in this article, we will provide you with some essential tips that will help to improve your focus.


1. Exercise

Exercise is a great way to improve your focus and general well-being. Regularly participating in fitness programs helps increase energy levels, reduce stress, and improve focus.

Apart from helping the body, physical exercise can also help with blood circulation, which energizes your brain. Simply doing short and minor exercises every day can help improve the flow of blood to the brain.



2. Meditate

Another way to improve focus is by meditating for around 10 minutes every day. Mediation involves mental exercises which can go a long way in improving concentration. Another form of medication involves surrounding yourself in a comfortable atmosphere and planning the tasks. Meditation takes your mind away from the pressure of the work environment and helps you work with more focus and determination.



3. Get more sleep

Sleep plays a role in making our brains more productive, creative, and efficient. Individuals who don’t get sufficient sleep usually tend to struggle with focus and memory. If you are not getting at least six to eight hours of quality sleep every night, then you might find difficulties in thinking clearly.

Apart from blocking concentration, lack of sleep also confuses your brain, making you unable to think clearly. Therefore, to improve focus, you need to get enough rest.



4. CBD for focus

Regularly consuming CBD oil may enhance your general wellbeing. CBD also enhances sleep which leads to an increase in concentration and focus. CBD may also help decrease the anxiety that prevents you from doing daily tasks.

Some studies show that regular consumption of CBD may reduce the primary causes of lack of focus. Using CBD for focus and concentration helps balance the mind and the endocannabinoid system. CBD interacts with endocannabinoid receptors to help suppress stress, anxiety, and other factors that cause loss of focus.

CBD oil for memory is a noteworthy benefit of CBD. It has the propensity to improve your focus. CBD works to improve focus by binding with the endocannabinoid receptors in charge of memory and focus. This allows more serotonin to flow to the brain.

Bottom line: does CBD help with concentration?

Yes. CBD can increase your alertness, making you less distracted. CBD also sharpens the mind when doing office tasks.

There are several ways to take CBD for focus. However, if you want to feel the effects immediately, then CBD oil drops are the way to go. Dropping CBD oil under your tongue allows the body to absorb its essential properties leading to improved focus.

After Odette, climate adaptation is our only option

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Typhoon Odette struck islands in Visayas and Mindanao on December 17 and 18, 2021, bringing utter devastation to not just one or two provinces, but to entire regions.

Atty. Angela Consuelo Ibay, Head of the Climate and Energy Program at World Wide Fund for Nature Philippines (WWF-Philippines), said:

“Just as 2021 is about to close, the country is once again scrambling to provide aid to towns and provinces that have been ravaged by a typhoon. Once again, we are left in a reactive stance rushing to the rescue after the catastrophe. The images of towns devastated by Odette (International name: Rai) in Siargao and Dinagat islands, Central Visayas, and all the way to Palawan are like recurring nightmares afflicting our national psyche.

“After Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses in 2020, Ompong in 2018, Lando in 2015, and Yolanda in 2013, the Philippine government should have learned one important lesson by now: climate change means no longer wondering if a stronger storm will hit the Philippines in the future, but when and where it will hit.”

Katherine Custodio, WWF-Philippines Executive Director, added:

“Preparing ahead of destructive typhoons requires long-term vision, commitment, and investment as the next super typhoon can come in 2 or 3 years or it could come next month. There is no way to know when it will happen, making it even more urgent to prepare while the weather is clear. Resources, financial or otherwise, have to be allocated in preparing towns, provinces, and islands from becoming the next disaster.

“WWF-Philippines has projects in some of typhoon Odette’s hardest hit areas and we have launched Oplan Pandamayan to help in the relief efforts. However, we emphasize the need to extricate our country from an endless cycle of relief efforts which are short-term measures against a climate that is changing in the long-term. Our call is for adaptive measures to be urgently implemented so concrete and permanent solutions can protect Filipinos moving forward.”

WWF-Philippines is calling for a clear and comprehensive government plan of action to adapt to the changing climate. With the country’s National Adaptation Plan yet to be finalised, this plan of action should include the following points:

1. Make “build back better” a reality through stronger climate-resilient infrastructure. Houses, evacuation centers, schools, bridges, power lines, and other basic infrastructure should be built to standards that can withstand typhoons so that people are protected from the impacts of storms. Lives can be saved with appropriate storm shelters that can supply the people with their needs during the strongest typhoons.
2. Comprehensive urban and environmental planning. Rebuilding towns flattened by Odette has to be done with a lot of thought and planning so that areas with high risks of strong winds, waves can be avoided. The development of cities and towns must take into consideration the extreme weather which can include typhoons or even drought.
3. Prioritize nature-based solutions. Forests are effective in cushioning strong winds while mangroves at the coasts are highly effective at dampening strong waves. If these natural barriers are destroyed for short-term profit, it reduces the long-term protection of the people. A nationwide rehabilitation and reforestation effort needs to be implemented in areas where tree cover has been severely degraded.
4. Increase the national budget allocation for climate adaptation actions. Though the national government has stated that climate adaptation is a national priority, the funding for adaptation has to reflect this priority. The government's climate budget increased in 2021 compared to the previous year, but this P282 billion is only 6.26% of the total national budget. A significant portion of the investments on climate change, P273 billion, were concentrated on climate change adaptation actions.

At this point in the climate crisis, we are past the need to praise the resilience of Filipinos. We should also be past the point of hoping for a better future where strong storms will not hit the country. The ultimate lesson is an old one but one that is commonly taken for granted: prevention is better than cure. And to prevent death, disaster and destruction in the future, we must plan, fund, and implement effective adaptive measures and policies across the country now. We, as a people and as a country, deserve a better future. Let’s change the ending.
