1. Description of Our Team
We join the said project because of our colossal desire for starting a “metanoia” within ourselves and our world. We want to share to the world the problems our remaining treasures are facing and the solutions we think that would be helpful using the internet thus discovering new things and having fun at the same time.

Junardo, 15, or most commonly known as “Jolo” has a really broad understanding. he doesn’t contradict other’s opinion if he knows that it will turn out to be right and be frank if he knows that the opinion will not help a lot.

2. Summary of Our Project
For the past months, Palawan, the last frontier of the country, is experiencing different problems. One of it is mining which ravaged the forests, caused floods and siltation of rivers and farmlands. Mining produces great help in the country’s economy. Knowing this massive effect of mining to the natural treasures of Palawan, still mining companies continue their operations thus; our group will not be surprised if one day the country will suffer greatly. Fortunately, different non-government organizations are making their move to remove this thorn in the ecological treasures of the country and our group is planning to be one of them through this meaningful project, truly, a step towards “The Doors to Diplomacy”.

4. Problems We Had To Overcome
Time- we had a great problem when it comes to time management. We had a problem because the time allotted in making the project, specifically, project elements and overview, is also the time we need to review for our upcoming periodical exam. Imparting thoughts and ideas- we have a problem in sharing thoughts for several reasons. One is that someone may contradict, oppose or may don’t like our individual concepts for our project. Another is that we are worried that it may not turn out to be easy and right.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
This project has awakened us from the truth of what is really happening to our environment. It also taught us several things that we can use for our daily lives. Frankly, this project is really hard and may push you through your limits but after finishing it, we feel really proud of ourselves.
6. How did your activities and research for this Doors to Diplomacy Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
This project is a requirement for our 3rd and 4th grading period. The project elements and overview are requirement for 3rd grading period and the webpage is for 4th grading period. We learned to budget our time wisely for us to finish the project in the given time. Through this project, we are able to see the things that are happening to our society most specially, to our environment and the problems it is facing. We learned that through this project, we are able to become a spokesperson of the people who wants to make a stand and the environment.
