Resilience: the art of living

   
     “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”- Kahlil Gibran

     Philippines has recently experienced a number of large scale and devastating natural disasters, including catastrophic typhoons, devastating earthquakes, flash floods, volcanic eruptions, landslides and lahar flows. These natural disasters are threat to us. Such events have personal, social economic and environmental impacts that it takes years to dissipate.
   
     Given the increasing regularity and severity of natural disasters, The Philippine Government implemented Executive Order No. 29, that was put into effect last June 28, 2017. This Executive Order originally known as National Disaster Consciousness Month, it was renamed to shift from disaster awareness to building resilience. “The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council is the lead agency tasked to implement all programs under this order.” Marille Medina said.
 
     This year’s National Disaster Resilience Month carries the theme: “Kahandaan sa sakuna’t peligro para sa tunay na pagbabago." The Dep-Ed DRRMS aims to empower personnel offices and learners in ensuring safety and learning community. It also strengthens the resilience of basic education in the content of natural and human induced hazards."

     "History tells us that the Filipinos have captured innumerable foes, natural and not. And shall always strive to champion in all odds. Because innate in the Filipino is the will to survive."-William G. Bacani
