One popular belief is that the #SierraMadre is some sort of a force field dome that protects humans from bad weather. That's a myth.

#Typhoons are getting stronger, the mountain range & communities are under threat from destructive activities & #Indigenous peoples are becoming more #vulnerable to #ClimateChange.

‘ANG BUHAY NG SIERRA MADRE AY BUHAY NATING LAHAT’ ⛰

Ngayong Save Sierra Madre Day, makiisa sa pagsulong ng pagprotekta ng kabundukang ito.

Tinatawag na "backbone of Luzon" ang Sierra Madre na tumutulong sa pagpapahina ng mga bagyo mula sa Pacific Ocean bago pa ito manalasa sa ibang lugar sa Pilipinas.
