00:00 They went through the process of discussing the permission of each country's water.
00:08 But what they call Filipino resiliency, there is a limit and action should be taken according to a senator and agency.
00:19 Mark Salazar was able to point it out.
00:28 This deep flood in Barangay Sapangbayan, Calumpit, Bulacan is a picture of this situation.
00:35 But it depends on the person who is watching and experiencing the situation.
00:39 Because for Renz Rafael Galang, this is a happy content online.
00:44 Level 1 flood, guys.
00:46 There, up to Tuhol.
00:48 Level 2 flood.
00:53 Level 3 flood.
00:57 You can just take a bath there.
00:59 Guys, level 4.
01:01 Level 4 flood.
01:03 Level 5, guys.
01:09 Guys, it's level 5.
01:13 Renz will just buy food, but this is how deep the flood water needs to be swallowed.
01:21 And despite the dangers to his health, he still gets a laugh.
01:26 Level 3.
01:28 There is no dry land left in Renz's house, which is a swimming pool.
01:33 But he is still happy, even his family is at home.
01:36 We are here in the middle of the flood.
01:39 There are other opportunities in the flood, like these two in Calumpit, who did side fishing while the weather is still bad.
01:48 For those who do side fishing, this is okay.
01:50 What we usually call this is resiliency.
01:55 But Senator Loren Legarda said in the 35th National Disaster Resilience Month,
02:01 There is a limit to resilience. We really need to implement the law.
02:07 I would like to see a time when there's no time for resilience because we did it right at the first time.
02:13 The Office of Civil Defense and NDRRMC itself said that the implementation of risk reduction and disaster management laws is still lacking.
02:23 It's not easy.
02:25 We need to improve the coordination. Not just one agency can do this.
02:30 Experts in disaster response said that the true definition of resiliency is the ability of the community to learn from the lessons of the disaster,
02:40 to avoid it from happening again.
02:42 Resilience is everyday action prepared.
02:47 The ability to absorb the shock, to resist the effects of the shock, and to transform our ways of doing things so that we can proactively respond better.
02:58 According to Dr. Emma Porrio of Ateneo de Manila, if we are truly resilient, the evacuation centers and food packs should not be in the action plan and budget.
03:09 I feel that we have focused on really evacuating and all that stuff, but I think we have to build the capacities of everyone.
03:17 I think resilience is everyday action.
03:20 That's the ideal situation. We will force all of that to happen.
03:25 It's almost automatic for people to respond. They already know what to do when there's a threat of calamity.
