What are some reactions of people to the documentary Signos GMA7?

Answer 1

The film Signos gives us a peek into climate change from a local perspective. Some issues shown were easy to relate to while others seemed so new. For instance, hotter Christmases and summers and the havoc raised by super-typhoons over the past few years are so fresh in our minds, but seeing that areas previously lain out with roads have adapted to using boats as their primary mode of transportation seemed so far out of my scope of local reality to the point that it seemed cartoonish. The situation shown looked surreal, yet people still seemed to get by pretty well. Personally, I have not been affected much by climate change over the course of my existence, and this is probably due to the fact that I grew up in Muntinlupa. We have not experienced intense losses do to climate change. The worst we could show for all the super-typhoons and natural disasters are flying roofs and fallen trees, which have been common through typhoon seasons since I was young. Nevertheless, I was always aware that though I was only (and still am) a potential victim, I knew that I was also feeding the environment what it needed to retaliate in whatever fashion it saw fit. Though I have not been the victim, I could be, and I am partially responsible for each and every loss of each and every victim of climate change throughout my life.
