Resilience of Filipino on Disaster

   
         


                   The Philippines, is a leading regional actor in disaster risk management. However, a full picture of who is doing what, how, where and when on resilience and disaster preparedness does not exist. Consequently there is no single study that compares the impacts and results that different preparedness measures are having in the Philippines. We recommend further research focused on mapping the network of actors, understanding community perceptions of disaster risk preparedness and resilience, and investigation into the socio-ecological systems of different communities.

                   The government of the Philippines and numerous relief organizations work together to move beyond the immediate response to the disaster-stricken areas and embark on the longer-term recovery process, the challenge will be how well they can realize the vision of' "building back better" in order to have communities in a stronger position to withstand the unforgiving nature of these disasters. This approach to humanitarian assistance has grown as best practices have been captured during other disaster relief operations, from carrying out reconstruction that properly accounts for future hazards and addressing the urgent need to restore livelihoods. Being situated in the "Pacific Ring of Fire" and expecting future natural calamities, the approach of managing disaster risk reduction has been embraced from national authorities down to many local government units.

                   This paper assessed the extant research and practice of resilience and disaster preparedness in the Philippines, which serves as a good model on how to strengthen resilience and promote disaster risk reduction at the local level. Research and inventions are already identifying examples of best practice in disaster preparedness, response and recovery; however, important underlying drivers of disaster risk, such as a degrading environment and inequality, still remain over looked. With the frequency and intensity of disaster set to increase, communities are going to have to prepare more for worse events. This poses the question of how much longer we can react to disasters rather than mitigating them in the first place. The urgency with which we must address the research gaps across the disaster cycle, and in particular in preventing and mitigating disaster risk alongside preparedness, is mounting. Research findings must then be translated in policy decisions with committed implementation. A greater prioritization of mitigation, prevention and preparedness is not only economically advantageous, but from a humanitarian point of view, reduces the human costs, and aligns with initiatives on sustainable development.

Filipino: Wika ng saliksik

                          

                          Ang wikang pilipino ay wika na ginagamit nating mga pilipino. ito'y napaka halaga sapagkat ginagamit natin ito sa pakikipag usap napakahalaga rin nito sapagkat ito ang ating sariling wika. wikang ating ginagisnan at wikang dapat nating ingatan at pahalagahan.

                                                                          Wika ang pinakamagandang regalo ng Maykapal sa kanyang mga nilalang. Ito ang tanging kasangkapan ng tao sa pakikipag-ugnayan niya sa kapwa, sa asosasyon, sa institusyon at maging sa dakilang Bathala. Malaki ang nagagawa ng wika sa pagkakaroon ng magandang unawaan, ugnayan at mabuting pagsasamahan. Kung wala ang wika, paano kaya magkakaintindihan ang mamamayan, paano kaya mapabibilis ang pagsulong ng kaunlaran at paano kaya mapalalapit ang tao sa isa’t isa? Sa bawat isang tanong at marami pang kasunod na katanungan, hindi sapat ang senyas, drowing, ang kulay, ang krokis, ang ingay o anumang paraang maaaring likhain ng tao upang matugunan ang lahat ng mga katanungan. Sa lahat ng ito, kailangan ng tao ang wika.Kahit na anumang anyo , pasulat o pasalita, hiram o orihinal, banyaga o katutubo, wika ang pinakamabisang sangkap sa paghahatid ng diwa at kaisipan at sa pagpapanatili sa madali o mahabang panahon ng mga naliko na tala, pangkasaysayan o pampanitikan, pampolitika at panlipunan, pansimbahan o pangkabuhayan at maging sa larangan ng siyensya o ng iba pang displina. Maging ang kultura ng isang panahon, pook o bansa ay muling naipahayag sa pamamagitan ng wika.

                          Naipadarama ng wika ang sidhi ng damdamin, ang lalim ng lungkot, ang lawak ng galak, ang kahalagahan ng katwiran, ang kabutihan ng layunin, ang nakapaloob na katotohanan sa isang intension, ang kaibuturan ng pasasalamat at paghanga at ng iba pang nais na iparating ng sinuman. Wika pa rin ang pinakamahalagang sangkap sa anumang paraan ng mabisang pakikipagtalastasan at komunikasyon.

State of the Nation Address (SONA) 2018

                      

               The State of the Nation Address (SONA) shows the status of the country within the previous one. It is currently the state of the Philippines. The administration shows the present state of the country, recent problems and how the new President will deal with it. Country Status Talk is an annual event in the Republic of the Philippines, where the President reports the state of affairs, usually in the opening of a joint session of Congress.

                    "Let me begin by putting it bluntly. The war from illegal drugs is far from over and will not be sidelined, instead, it will be as relentless and chilling."Rodrigo Duterte opened his speech vowing to continue pursuing his controversial campaign against illegal drugs saying that he is "for human lives" criticizing human rights activists opposing the campaign. President Rodrigo Duterte spent speaking about his unrelenting war on drugs, he did not mention anything concerning rehabilitation. Instead, he focused the spotlight on the "billions-worth" of illegal drugs the police and anti-drug agents have seized. He also mentioned the Philippines partnership with Malaysia and Indonesia against piracy in their shared maritime borders as well as the country's cooperation with China against illegal drugs. Duterte added that the cooperation of the country with China doesn't mean the Philippines will stop pursuing its national interest in relation to the South China Sea dispute. Human rights to me means giving Filipinos, especially those at the society’s fringes, a decent and dignified future through the social and physical infrastructures necessary to better their lives. The lives and freedoms and the hard-earned property of every Filipino whose condition we wish to improve shall be protected from criminals, terrorists, corrupt officials, and traffickers contrabands.

                       Thousands of protesters and militant groups rallied near the Batasan to condemn rampant killings being linked to Duterte's war against illegal drugs; as well as the tax reform law, raising duties on fuel, cars, and sugar-sweetened drinks. Analysts added that Dutertenomics performance after his two years in power is fair to poor citing the impact of the TRAIN law.  The inflation rate (rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising and, consequently, the purchasing power of currency is falling) also increased versus last year (4.9 vs. 3.2). Some also reacted with the proposed federalism, that would decentralize the system of the government. Others said creation of new states or regional governments will just create another bureaucratic layer with the installation of state governors on top of provincial governors, municipal, and city mayors. Meanwhile, the President was not able to sign the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) in time for the SONA as it was not ratified before the adjournment of today's session of the House of Representatives. 

                       On the other hand, latest Pulse Asia survey revealed that majority of Filipinos consider the war on the drugs as the Duterte administration's most important achievement. The report also include good feedback for the fight against crime, salary increase for police and soldiers, fight against graft and corruption and free tuition in public universities and colleges.

"Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na Nutrisyon Aanihin"

                "Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distraction, the gates of the soul open." According to the National Nutritional Council (NNC), the theme for this year's celebration is "Ugaliing Magtanim, Sapat na nutrisyon aanihin!" Why do we need to plant vegetables? That's the question we need to answer.


                 It is important to take care of our Health in order for us to maximize our skills and talents. Taking care of our health starts by creating a Healthy diet plan and proper mindset.It all starts with making goals about having a vegetable gardening and sticking to it. Plant a exact nutrition with your heart for more crops, So that we can eat more nutrition foods and we can also save our earth to plant a trees to prevent flood in certain area. You must better to plant with care to get a great nutrion foods so that we can eat also clean and neat nutrional foods. I think the main purpose of the theme this year is to invest on something healthy so you can live longer and healthier. If we are strict on consuming a “balanced diet” food everyday, it can really help us protect our self from any viruses. Our immune system will become healthier than the usual. Remember that exercising also has a big impact in our body. It can help lower cholesterol, and it’s good for the heart.


                 Nutrition month is not restricting us to eat, it’s just reminding us to moderately consume unhealthy food (or better keep away from it), and helping us enjoy life with a healthy body. This campaign should be for all, not just for students, and this should be implemented every July, it should be everyday. Have a healthy lifestyle and live a better life.
