Ang Pilipinas, na matatagpuan sa loob ng Coral Triangle, ay kinikilala bilang isa sa pinakamayamang marine ecosystem sa mundo. Gayunpaman, maraming mga marine species—gaya ng carybdeid box jellyfish na isang uri ng dikya—ay nananatiling hindi naidokumento. Ang taglay nilang potent venom at ecological significance ay nagbibigay-diin sa kahalagahan ng pagsasagawa ng tamang pag-aaral sa taxonomy ng mga box jellyfish.

The Philippines, located within the Coral Triangle, is recognized as one of the world’s richest marine ecosystems. Yet, many marine species—such as carybdeid box jellyfish—remain poorly documented. Their potent venom and ecological significance underline the importance of conducting accurate taxonomic studies on box jellyfish.

Ayon sa International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), nakapagtala ang Pilipinas ng halos 189,000 na bagong kaso ng kanser at higit na 113,000 pagkamatay dahil dito noong 2022. Tinatayang tataas pa sa mahigit 35 milyon ang bagong kaso ng cancer sa buong mundo pagsapit ng 2050. Samantala, naiulat naman sa 2025 Philippine National Cancer Summit na mahigit 180,000 bagong kaso ang naitatala kada taon at tinatayang mahigit 300 Pilipino ang namamatay dahil sa cancer bawat araw. Ipinapakita ng nakababahalang istatistika na ito ang agarang pangangailangan para sa patuloy na pananaliksik at inobasyon sa paggamot sa cancer.

According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the Philippines recorded nearly 189,000 new cancer cases and more than 113,000 cancer-related deaths in 2022. Globally, IARC also projects that the number of new cases will rise to over 35 million by 2050, which is a 77% increase from 2022 figures. Meanwhile, the 2025 Philippine National Cancer Summit reports that more than 180,000 new cases are diagnosed each year and cancer is estimated to cause over 300 Filipino deaths daily. These alarming statistics highlight the urgent need for continued research and innovation in cancer treatment.
