The 18-Month Plan

         The United Nations(U.N.) has released a statement that says we only have 18-months left to save our planet from climate change before irreversible damage is done to Earth.

               This issue affects our whole planet and people who live in it. Our ecosystems are at risk and were the only one who can save and conserve it. With this we will officially launch the 18-Month Plan, a non-profit initiative that aims to combat the effects of climate change, one school at a time. This initiative will start at the heart of Gapan City, Juan R. Liwag Memorial High School-SHS with:
     

        1. "enviRUNment", a fun run event that will raise funds for our cause, with this we also aim to inform people and spread awareness of our cause.
• To attend people with have to buy a Php300.00 ticket which 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the WWF for nature (wwf.org.ph) and Save Philippine Seas (www.savephilippineseas.org).
• The event will will start from JRLMHS-SHS Umali Gym, all around Gapan then Back.

          2. "The 18-month Plan Seminar",is an interactive seminar that focus on informing students of what our cause is, and what it is for. The topics of the seminar will be:
