Filipinos Reciliency

         Today, we are frequently visited by disasters.  Some people have the ability to move on just after disasters and some people don’t. The National Disaster Resilience Month covers four thematic areas namely: Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Response and Disaster Rehabilitation and Recovery. Resilience literally means, to become successful again after something bad happens. It means being able to recover.

We now have the National Disaster Resilience Month, to help people in preparing and recovering after a devastating disaster. However, us Filipinos have a very awful habit which we call the “Mañana Habit”. It is when people set asides works that should be done immediately.  “Mamaya na” which means later, is where “Mañana Habit” got its name. This habit should be taken out of our culture so that we can prevent casualties in future disasters. We should aim for a zero-casualty in every disaster that occurs. Though, we can’t really say that we can achieve the zero-casualty atleast we can lessen the increasing casualties in every disasters.

We shouldn’t just be dependent in preventing casualties. We can also prevent very strong disasters. We should always be ready for the disasters that will happen. That’s what Filipinos are. We, Filipinos are resilient as long as we help each other. I remember the poem that we recited in the stage last year, the “Filipino is Resilient”. The poem was about us being resilient in every type of disasters.

 Kapit-Bisig.
