Safer and Resilient Philippines

 

The Philippines, led by President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos, is home to me and millions of other Filipinos and Filipinas. The people inside the country have experienced so many traumas and disturbances even way back before. Every year, calamities are one of the reasons why Filipinos worry about their everyday lives. Moreover, we are also dealing with corruption. Some of the people that are seated on the chair are corrupt. These different disturbances have an impact on our everyday lives, so how will we move towards a more resilient Philippines?

         DRRM, also known as Disaster and Risk Reduction Management, aims to institutionalize disaster reduction at all levels of the government. The national council of NDRRMC has a role in coordinating disaster response and recovery. With DRRM, people are warned when and where a calamity will strike, just like typhoons. Furthermore, local governments have been making efforts to give out awareness and help to those in need. In this type of calamity, unity is needed. One's help can make a big difference. With all these efforts, the Philippines will recover from calamities and make progress.

  This is easier said than done, especially since we can encounter different obstacles along the way of committing this progress. People in different places, whether in urban or rural communities, have different natural resources. Cities may have all the resources, such as infrastructure, but still, a lot of places are not ready to combat the continuous destruction of calamities. Change is what we need. Change in what we do in our everyday lives. To get what we needed, we must work for it. For a safer and more resilient Philippines, we need change.
