IEM - Bring Me Those Sport Children Pt. 1/3

This is my take on the Inazuma Eleven Sports Meme suggested by @iulliiana. This is also my headcanon’s but rather these are the sports/club/hobbies the GO kids are taking in my fanfiction The Scattered Beaker. In the final part I will also add those hobbies that aren’t really considered sports. 

Since this list includes only the characters that have major role in the story, many GO children are not included in this (Matsukaze Tenma for example).   

Yukimura Hyouga: Snowboarding

Personally, I don’t think there’s any sport that fits Yukimura better than this. Now, of course, any snow/winter sport could be possible him, but I don’t think he has the body to be a hockey player (unlike Shirosaki) and somehow skating or skiing doesn’t seem to be his thing. In original series, we saw Fubuki being good in snowboarding and I could totally see him taking it professionally if not for soccer. In my headcanon Yukimura is a huge fan of Fubuki twins and takes whatever sport the two do, be it soccer or snowboarding.

Kishibe Taiga: Kendo

He’s not the only guy I have thought to do this sport, but I can totally see Kishibe waving a bamboo sword while trying to hit his opponents. To me, Kishibe is someone who’s dedicated to the sport he does, he practices the basics daily and treats others kindly (be it showing respect toward his senpai or guiding his kouhai). Kishibe is definitely captain material, and while he might not be the strongest in the club, everyone shows their respect toward him.

Miyabino Reiichi: Volleyball

I played volleyball from elementary all the way till high school so there has to be at least one character who takes after my passion sport! Reiichi was my sweet GO child till the appearance of Yukimura, but I still have a soft spot for him. While Miyabino is on the short side when it comes to height, I believe he would have a strong jump – or he’ll be the libero. Either way, I have his as the ace, wing spiker and the captain of the team. He has a lot on his shoulders, but I know he can do it!  

Chrono Stone Characters

Saryuu: Paintball/Laser Tag

This is rather unexpected choice, but I associate Saryuu with guns, so why not? Paintball fits his personality well, he isn’t afraid of pain, the adrenaline rush excites him and he finds “killing off” people a fun thing to do. Saryuu is definitely a person who goes on offence rushing in the first wave, trying to kill off his enemies while aiming to steal the flag. His aim is top-notch also. There was trouble with the leadership at the start, but eventually Saryuu found teammates who follow him (Yes, he’s the captain). Laser Tag is optional version for paintball.

(My joy of paintball comes from personal experience. Also in my headcanon, Fei goes to see Saryuu’s matches while cheering on him. There’s also times when Fei helps out with the training or matches, but he’s more like benchwarmer or makeshift of the team than a official starter member.)  

Lune Fei: Traditional Archery aka. Kyūdō

I was thinking of having in the same sport as Saryuu, but eventually dropped that idea. Fei differs strongly from Saryuu (you could say they’re the total opposites) so I can’t think Fei would like inflicting pain to his opponents. This is why I choose much calmer and more composed sport for Fei. He’s from the future but he’s doing a sport that’s thousands of years old, how ironical. I took into account Fei’s kindness, his calm personality and stringiness when coming up for a sport for him. His interest toward archery does originate from participating in paintball matches. He’s still a beginner level as Kyūdō is usually started in 15 to 16 years.    

Galaxy Characters

Ibuki Masamune: Basketball, Street Dance

I know a little about Ibuki, as I have only seen a few episodes of Galaxy, but there’s no need to think much about this choice of sport. He was originally a member of basketball club so that’s my choice of sport for him. Then again, with his height, bodybuilt and arm strength, my optional choice for him is street dance/hip hop dance. So, whenever he’s not playing basketball, he’s doing dance covers of various hip-hop songs and doing freestyle.

Matatagi Hayato: Track and Field, Parkour

Much like with Ibuki I choose his original sport. But along with that I can totally see Matatagi doing parkour. He has the speed, he has the stamina and he definitely has the attitude. Matatagi is fearless, I can see him as a fast thinker, so he definitely can choose his tracks fast. I suppose his arm strength will raise. Whenever I see parkouring in movies, it’s usually has something to do with stealing money. Hopefully Matatagi won’t use his ability for that.  

Manabe Jinichirou: Chess

Well, actually, he could do any board game there’s possible, but I see him doing either Chess or Shogi (Japanese chess) no matter what, I don’t see Manabe doing an active sport that needs you to move your body all day long, he would rather brainstorm for hours. My father plays chess as a hobby and he has all these chessbooks and can think about the next movement for minutes. Too bad there’s no Manabe he could compete against. I should also mention that Manabe likes to do sudokus whenever he has too much free time.

Beyond lockdown: Can the Philippines sustain low air-pollution levels?

Kristine Sabillo | 20 May 2020

Air Pollution COVID-19 Cities Smog Manila carbon emissions

MANILA — On some rainy days, thick haze would blanket the sprawling metropolis of the Philippine capital, leaving the city skyline barely visible.

Unfortunately, Filipinos have become used to Metro Manila’s air pollution. So much so that when air quality improved during the COVID-19 lockdown in March many were surprised to learn that the majestic Sierra Madre mountain range was visible from the heart of the metropolis.

Photos of clear skies, breathtaking sunsets and the Sierra Madre as a backdrop to the sprawling city went viral just a week after the government suspended public transportation and non-essential businesses in an effort to curb the spread of the virus. By following in the footsteps of other nations battling the COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine government inadvertently helped reduce air pollution in Metro Manila.

Just two weeks after the government imposed its so-called enhanced community quarantine, or ECQ, on March 16, various groups released data showing just how drastic the improvement in air quality was.

Cancer-causing pollution

Dr. Mylene Cayetano of the University of the Philippines’ Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology (IESM) said that during the first 6 weeks of the ECQ, fine particulate matter or PM2.5 levels decreased by 40% to 66% compared to the month of January, based on Airtoday.ph’s monitoring station in Quezon City in the northern part of Metro Manila.

PM2.5 and PM10 refer to particulate matter that have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers and 10 micrometers, respectively. They are two kinds of pollutants that are measured by air monitors. Both have negative health impacts, but PM2.5 is more dangerous, according to Cayetano, because its small size allows it to reach the lungs.

PM2.5 has been linked to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. “The International Agency for Research on Cancer considers PM2.5 a major cause of lung cancer worldwide,” Cayetano said.

The average PM2.5 levels during the first six weeks of the ECQ saw a 19% to 54% decrease compared to February, explained Cayetano, who is also the technical adviser of Airtoday.ph, an air monitoring project of the Rotary Club of Makati and the Lung Center of the Philippines.



Data from Airtoday.ph showed PM2.5 levels fell to 7.1 ug/m3 during the first week of the lockdown, much lower than the 20 ug/m3 recorded two weeks earlier and below the World Health Organization’s long-term safety guideline of 10 ug/m3.

Similar outcomes were monitored by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), which recorded a decline of PM2.5 levels in the southern part of Metro Manila from 28.75 ug/m3 (Muntinlupa) and 27.23 ug/m3 (Parañaque) on March 10 to only 10.78 ug/m3 (Muntinlupa) and 14.29 ug/m3 (Parañaque) on March 22.

Clean Air Asia, which started monitoring air pollution in the capital city this year, also recorded a 51% to 71% decrease in PM2.5 levels in three areas of Manila for the last week of April when compared to the period before the lockdown.

All monitoring groups attributed most of the improvement in air quality to the decrease in motor vehicles plying the roads.

According to the DENR in 2016, 80 percent of the country’s air pollution came from motor vehicles while 20 percent came from stationary sources, such as factories and open burning.

But UP IESM professors Cayetano and Dr. Gerry Bagtasa both pointed out that there are other factors causing and affecting pollution. One is weather and the other is open burning.

Bagtasa, who monitors pollution in the Philippines through aerosol optical depth (AOD) recorded by the Himawari satellite, observed a “significant drop” in the pollution in the National Capital Region and its neighboring province of Bulacan for the second half of March, or the start of the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon, compared to the same period in previous years.

“However, parts of Pampanga, Tarlac, and Cagayan Valley actually had higher pollution due to burning,” he said.

AOD measures how much sunlight is reflected or is able to reach the ground due to aerosol particles such as dust, smoke and pollution. Bagtasa said that while instruments used by Airtoday.ph and DENR are more accurate, satellite AOD measurements are able to capture a much bigger area - in this case, the whole Philippines - and not just a specific location.



Comparing the current AOD measurements and satellite images with the same period in previous years, Bagtasa said the improvement in air quality is evident. He said comparing the data with previous years is more accurate because the seasons also affect air pollution. Dry periods like summer bring about better air quality, he said.

“During the first week of March, we were actually in a different season,” Bagtasa explained, adding that the summer season arrived the same time that the lockdown was enacted in the latter half of March.

During the first half of April, higher pollution was detected because of the haze coming from biomass burning in the Indochina region but the second half of April showed “overall lower pollution in most of Luzon.”

"So definitely there was a change, especially in Metro Manila. And the reason for that is because the estimated contribution of automobiles in the pollution of Metro Manila is around 60 to 80 percent," Bagtasa told ABS-CBN News.

However, Bagtasa said that there might be more occurrences of biomass burning outside Metro Manila during the lockdown.

“It looks like there’s more burning in parts of Central Luzon and Cagayan Valley,” he said. While motor vehicle pollution dominates cities, in rural areas his previous studies showed that open burning causes a third of the pollution.

Bagtasa said this is something that the DENR should look into.

No lasting change?

The atmospheric physicist said that people should not rejoice because of the temporary lowering of air pollution around the world.

“Because we essentially did nothing to reduce the pollution. It’s just an unintended consequence of a totally different problem [COVID-19],” Bagtasa said.

"We should remember that when it comes to carbon dioxide emissions, once we emit carbon dioxide it stays there for a century. In the grand scheme of things, these few months of reduced emission, it still won’t have any contribution on the mitigation of climate change."

Air pollution also includes other harmful gases that accumulate in excessive quantities in the atmosphere such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, methane and chlorofluorocarbons.

Khevin Yu, Greenpeace Southeast Asia’s climate and energy campaigner, said it is alarming that people think that the environment is really recovering because of the lockdown of cities all over the world.

“What’s happening right now is that it’s like an old engine that when you shut it down it won’t create any smoke. But eventually, when everything goes back and you turn on the engine again, you’re still using the same dirty old engine that will still pollute the earth,” he said.

“What we’re seeing now is just temporary. It’s just an illusion, a glimpse of what a better society that we can have,” he added.

Yu said it’s important for people to remember the state of air quality that the Philippines will go back to after the lockdown is lifted unless changes are made at the national and local levels.

Air pollution has long been a problem for the Philippines. In 2018, a study by the World Health Organization said there were 45.3 air pollution-related deaths for every 100,000 people in the Philippines. It was the third-highest in the world, after China’s 81.5 pollution-related deaths and Mongolia’s 48.8 deaths per 100,000 people.

And it appeared to be worsening. Before the lockdown, the Philippines ranked 57th out of 98 countries in IQAir’s “World most polluted countries,” as PM2.5 was recorded at an average of 17.6 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m3) in 2019, an increase from 14.6 μg/m3 in 2018.

Despite this, Yu said Filipinos tend to dismiss the problem of air pollution.

“It’s an issue that is usually ignored,” he said, because Filipinos don’t see its immediate impact.

“In jeepneys we just cover our mouths and faces. Children are exposed. But we just bear it,” Yu said, pointing out that the health impact is often long term and is not directly related to air pollution. “That’s why we say it’s a silent killer.”

In February, Greenpeace came out with a report estimating air pollution-related premature deaths in the Philippines reached 11,000 to 27,000 in 2018 alone. These so-called premature deaths are attributed to cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and lung cancer through exposure to PM2.5 air pollution from fossil fuels and other sources.

Atty. Glynda Bathan-Baterina, Deputy Executive Director of Clean Air Asia, cited the State of Global Air report where the Philippines ranked 10th among countries with the highest mortality burden linked to air pollution.

“They estimated that in 2017, close to 70,000 died prematurely due to ambient air pollution,” Bathan-Baterina said.

Yu said air pollution also has a big impact on the Philippines’ gross domestic product (GDP).

"In terms of economic loss, the impact is huge. So 0.8 percent to 1.9 percent of GDP loss is due to air pollution. That’s because of the health cost and the impact on workers. If you get sick, of course you don’t go to work," he explained.

Wake-up call

But experts say the Philippines can use the lockdown as an opportunity to assess the problem of pollution in Metro Manila and other places.

“Hopefully, people notice the very good air quality we have now and they realize that it is important," Bagtasa said.

He believes that it is still possible to turn the situation around over the long-term, but it will require a lot of investment on the part of the government.

He said cities like Tokyo and Taipei had similar problems before but were able to improve the situation with the help of research and technology.

“I think it’s the role of the environmental groups like us and the government to really change the course of the discussion,” Yu said.

Greenpeace has been pushing for the Philippine government to declare air pollution as a national issue and to strengthen the DENR, he noted.

“Right now they [DENR] are the only agency addressing the air pollution problem,” Yu said. “The LGUs [local government units] should be empowered to monitor air pollution in their cities.

“We have to really think about our choices, our policies and our programs that have a direct or indirect impact to clean air,” Cayetano said.

She said the Philippines should phase out the use of dirty fuel and use only Euro 4 or even Euro 6 emission standards. Euro emission standards are meant to regulate carbon monoxide and other toxic gases being emitted by vehicles. Euro 6, the highest level, allows emissions of 0.5 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer of diesel.

“The DOTr [Department of Transportation] wanted to promote non-motorized transport systems like bike. But we need to prepare the infrastructure,” Cayetano said, explaining the need to ensure the safety of cyclists on roads.

She said the government should designate green spaces and allocate areas for businesses that generate more emissions, such as grill restaurants and crematoriums, making sure they are far from residential areas.

“My last suggestion would be the strict implementation of the Clean Air Act and the Solid Waste Management Act and their provisions against open burning,” she said.

Cayetano also noted that open burning is rooted in Filipino tradition, as it's a way to clear agricultural areas for the next planting season.

“It’s not just localized pollution, it can travel from one place to another,” she pointed out. “Hopefully, we’ll have a next generation (of Filipinos) who are more aware of their harmful impacts.”

Bathan-Baterina said Clean Air Asia will be working closely with the Manila City government as part of their current project. After collecting data from their air sensors around the city, they will craft recommendations to address air pollution.

“Moving forward, we hope that we do not go back to our polluted past,” she said, adding that there are already solutions available that would allow the country to shift towards low-emitting vehicles.

“It is not hard to imagine if there is strong political will in the face of crisis,” she said.

New normal

While there is much talk in the Philippines about the “new normal” — from wearing face masks to physical distancing — as people around the world adjust to the COVID-19 pandemic, the experts said countries should also take this opportunity to promote more environment-friendly practices.

Matthias Gelber, an environmental sustainability consultant, said businesses should seriously consider telecommuting or allowing their employees to work from home now that physical distancing is a must to slow down the spread of the COVID-19 disease.

“We need large companies in the Philippines to change their mindset,” said Gelber, who is based in Laguna, a province south of Metro Manila. “You don’t need your employees in your office all the time and keep an eye on them. You need to keep an eye on their output.”

He said employees coming from their province spend four to five hours a day to travel to their offices in Metro Manila, leaving them little time to spend with their families. By allowing remote work, companies can save their employees from the long commute, help lessen the vehicles on the road, and at the same time prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace.

“The Philippines is the capital of outsourced resources. So we need large Filipino companies to start outsourcing more of the work that is currently being done in offices in Manila to remote working,” he said.

He suggested that more flexible or staggered work shifts can also help reduce traffic and carbon emissions.

Gelber said he has been using public transportation for the last 20 years to reduce his carbon footprint. But because of the lockdown and the suspension of mass transportation vehicles, he realized that he needed a car to get to the nearest supermarket. His family has also asked him to stop riding the bus for fears of being infected by the virus. He said other people may have the same realization and it will result in more vehicles on the road.

“If we are not able to continue the remote working and after lockdown force people to come into the office again, we will have a disaster scenario,” he said.

“We have taken this drastic action to protect people from getting infected with the coronavirus,” Gelber said. “We’ve got to take drastic action to prevent so many people from losing their health [from air pollution].”

Amidst ECQ, GCQ Tugade orders LTO to intensify anti-smoke belching

#PHinfo: Amidst ECQ, GCQ Tugade orders LTO to intensify anti-smoke belching

CALOOCAN CITY, May 7 (PIA)--Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur P. Tugade instructed the Land Transportation Office-Philippines (LTO) to intensify and strictly implement anti-smoke belching initiatives, even as most parts of the country remain under the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), and the General Community Quarantine (GCQ).

Tugade tasked the LTO, together with concerned agencies, to strictly enforce Republic Act No.8749, also known as the Clean Air Act of 1999 and other relevant laws.

In an online meeting with the DOTr Road Sector on May 5, Secretary Tugade directed the LTO to ensure that vehicles on the country’s roads comply with the emission standards of the country.

“Dapat siguruhin natin na ang lahat ng mga sasakyan sa kalye ay sumusunod sa pamantayan,” Tugade said.

According to a recent study released by experts from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Institute of Environmental Science & Meteorology (IESM) at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, and Airtoday.ph, air quality in Metro Manila has improved significantly with the continued implementation of the ECQ. Majority of air pollution in the areas observed in the study come from vehicle emissions.

“Sayang naman ang pagbuti ng air quality, lalo na dito sa Metro Manila ngayong may ECQ, kung babalik lang din sa dati. Look at the aerial landscape now. It is very clean. It is very beautiful. Now, we can see from afar Corregidor and Bataan from Roxas Boulevard because of the very clear horizon,” Tugade said.

“You can see the Sierra Madre Mountain Range as a backdrop of Metro Manila. Our skyline is now smog-free and very beautiful. Napakagandang pagmasdan. Kaya nararapat lamang na maging bahagi ang magandang kalidad ng hangin ng ating ‘new normal,” Tugade pointed out.

For his part, LTO Assistant Secretary Edgar C. Galvante said that the agency will intensify its anti-smoke belching enforcement.

“Magbubuo kami ng mga hakbang upang mapalawig at mapaigting ang implementasyon laban sa smoke-belching, alinsunod sa direktiba ni Secretary Tugade,” the LTO Chief said.

“We will revisit the law and cite relevant provisions to intensify the implementation,” LTO Galvante added.

Health experts say that air pollution is one of the major causes of respiratory problems and other ailments. Persons with existing health problems, and therefore, with weak immune system, have a higher risk of contracting and difficulty in overcoming COVID-19. (DOTr/PIA-NCR)
