Deaf Awareness Week: The Unheard Rhythm of Equality

Deaf Awareness Week moves beyond sound—building equality, connection, and rhythm that even silence can carry.

Philippines—November 10 to 16, 2025

Some hear the world through music. Others feel it through silence.

This week is for those who prove that rhythm doesn’t belong only to the ears. The Deaf community has always known how to turn silence into art—feeling the beat through vibration, seeing melody through movement, and expressing harmony through sign.

The week’s main goals:

• Educate the public about the culture, rights, and abilities of Deaf Filipinos

• Promote Filipino Sign Language (FSL) as their official and natural language

• Push for accessibility in schools, workplaces, and public spaces

• Empower Deaf individuals through education, training, and employment

• Strengthen inclusion and equality in all areas of society

• Build connection between the hearing and the Deaf—through respect, understanding, and shared creativity

Here in the Philippines, Deaf Awareness Week isn’t about pity.

It’s about equality, visibility, and rhythm shared beyond sound.

Because silence, too, can sing.

War’s Other Victim: The Earth

When wars end, the damage doesn’t. The earth remembers—and this day reminds us it deserves peace too.

International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War • November 6

When countries go to war, the environment quietly suffers. Trees are burned, rivers poisoned, and soil turns toxic. The United Nations says around 40% of all internal conflicts in the past 60 years are linked to natural resources like oil, timber, and water. And even when the war ends, the damage stays for decades—polluted air, lost species, destroyed farmland. The environment becomes the silent victim that nobody talks about.

This is why, back in 2001, the UN General Assembly declared November 6 as the International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict. It reminds the world that war doesn’t just kill people—it kills the planet too. Every bomb, every fire, every oil spill leaves scars that outlast generations.

The message today is simple—stop exploiting the earth for war, heal what’s broken, and let peace include the planet too.

Because honestly, climate change alone is already a hassle—then war goes and makes it worse.

By the way, SPOTIFY is supporting HELSING—a defense tech company using AI for war. This is exactly the kind of exploitation the world’s trying to stop. When greed hides behind “innovation,” even music and nature become part of the battlefield. Enough wars already—even the planet’s tired.

BOYCOTT SPOTIFY. UNINSTALL SPOTIFY.
