#LIGTASDITO: Nurturing Safe Space for Filipinos, by and with the Filipinos

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

October is World Mental Health Month. It’s a special time to put mental health in the spotlight and teach people to be more kind and compassionate. It also aims to spread hope by empowering people to take action and be a beacon of change for their community.

Our mental wellbeing is highly dependent on access to supportive communities where we can describe our experiences, express our thoughts and emotions, and seek help when we most need it. Without supportive communities, we are less likely to find or seek support for our mental health, and to care for our overall well-being. Without a sense of belonging to a community, we can feel isolated, and experience loneliness. Without safe communities, we lose avenues to safely express ourselves, and process our experiences.

A mentally healthy community is possible if we, as individuals, are capacitated with the skills to nurture safe spaces, and empowered to maintain them. In this light, #MentalHealthPH, in partnership with the National Center for Mental Health presents #LigtasDito: Nurturing Safe Space for Filipinos, by Filipinos.

#LigtasDito is a one-day, onground program featuring talks and workshops, to nurture safe spaces for Filipinos. Its goals are as follows:

1. To promote the importance and impact of accessible safe spaces

2. To strengthen individual capacity in nurturing and establishing safe spaces;

3. To provide a safe space where mental health volunteers and sector advocates can meet together and collaborate interventions to maintain, nurture, and establish safe spaces.

The event will be held on October 20, 9am-5pm, at the Pag-asa Hall - National Center for Mental Health. Scan the QR code below to register or go to bit.ly/LigtasDito

Roofing Renovation: Exploring Modern Home Shingle Options

Wazzup Pilipinas!?




One of the first considerations when constructing or renovating a home is the material you intend to use for the roof. The materials should be durable and energy-efficient and withstand various weather conditions and other disasters like fires.

Besides all these features, pay attention to the aesthetic value and get one that contributes to your home's beauty and visual appeal. The roof is also the ultimate protection for your home; hence, you should choose the roofing materials carefully.

You can select from various roof shingle options when paying attention to these critical features, needs, and desires. The options include metal, DaVinci, wood, solar, and composite shingles for homes to ensure you achieve all the desired requirements.

Select one by considering its pros and cons to select one with long-term value and more pros than cons, enabling you to limit maintenance, energy, and other costs. Here are some roof shingle options to consider for your home renovations.

Davinci shingles

If you are considering replacing your roof shingles, the Davinci shingles are the best option, as they meet nearly all the features you are looking for. First, they are light and versatile, making them suitable for use in various ecosystems like cold and hot conditions. They are also known for their aesthetic value and beauty to resemble familiar products like cedar, synthetics, and other roofing shingles.

There are various Davinci shingles options you can buy, including Davinci slates, shakes, and siding, which makes it easier to fix them on the roof without much struggle. Unlike other shingles, they are light but more resilient since they can withstand various conditions. According to the manufacturers, these shingles can survive storms of up to speeds of 111mph and have a class A fire rating and class 4 impact rate, making them the best protection in case of disasters.

They are not only aesthetic but also made from sustainable products that can hardly fade when subjected to intense humid and hot conditions. Therefore, you are likely to use them for a lifetime, which is guaranteed by the limited material warranty offered by the company.

If you are interested in something durable and long-lasting, Davinci shingles are the best option, even though you may have to pay a little more than others. Once you spend on the purchase and renovation costs, there are only future worries about repairs or replacement if your house faces severe catastrophes.




Solar Shingles

In the era of sustainability, most homes must embrace cleaner energy by tapping into solar energy to power homes. In response, most homeowners are considering solar roof panels; however, the roof may need to be more stable or significant to accommodate more solar panels. Therefore, for maximum roof space utilization and efficiency, consider solar roof shingles to tap solar energy to power your home.

Despite being a little expensive, they can help you lower other home bills like heating, thereby boosting home value for a lifetime. Besides the shiny surfaces with more visual appeal, they can last longer since they are made of durable materials like those in solar panels to withstand conditions like hail, higher humidity, and heating.

To ensure they last longer and maximize them for energy generation, you should regularly clean the surfaces; however, rainwater can help clean the surfaces in humid regions.




Composite Shingles

As part of boosting product recycling, more companies are currently including composite shingles in their product line. Most of these shingles are manufactured from recycled products like asphalt, wood, plastic, and laminate. The combination helps boost their structural integrity but is likely to be lighter due to the materials used.

With a lifeline of about 50 years, they can serve the perfect roofing purpose, especially if you maintain them by regularly cleaning them. You can buy those of different colors and styles and, for additional safety, get proper warranties for them. Despite the materials used for manufacturing, they resemble traditional roofing materials like wood, asphalt, and asphalt.

 

Wood Shingles

Wood shingles are diminishing due to concerns about their lifeline; however, modern shingles have the capabilities to last longer and only require a little maintenance. They are light, and you can choose the wood shales and shingles to fit your roofing needs. Before usage, the wood is subjected to various treatments and heating protection to make it humidity and heat-resistant, increasing its lifespan.

Most can withstand certain degrees of fires; however, they are not the best option in areas prone to wildfires since it is much easier for them to catch fires. If you live in hot and cold areas, these shingles can significantly help you conserve home energy, saving electrical bills. Wood is a poor heat conductor; hence, it is suitable for heat conservation and maintaining temperatures inside the house.

If not cared for properly, wood shingles can crack, leak, decompose, and allow for the growth of plants on the roof. Despite being aesthetically pleasing, they require frequent maintenance and are expensive in the long run.




Conclusion


When selecting the best roof shingles, consider features that make them durable, withstand a certain degree of disasters, and contribute to the home's aesthetic value. Select those that require limited maintenance and have a warranty in case of any issues with the material. With all the conditions in mind, you can select from Davinci, wooden, solar, composite metal, and other roof shingles.
