Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness

The Philippines is one of the top countries in the world at risk of climate-related disaster. For populations subsisting at poverty line in particular but also the nation as whole, daily lives and well being are routinely challenged. The Philippines government tales disaster risk seriously and has devoted significant resources to build disaster capacity and reduce population exposure and vulnerability, nationally and locally. This paper exposes the institutional mechanisms for disaster risk reduction management and research which have been conducted in the Philippines related to disaster preparedness, management and resilience.

The study draws on direct observation of and conversation with disaster management professionals, in addition to a review of what literature on resilience and disaster preparedness, in the Philippines. Numerous activities in community based resilience and DRR have been identified across the whole disaster continum, yet important gaps in research and practice remain.

The Philippines is a leading actor in disaster risk management. However, a full picture of who is doing what, how, when, and where on resilience and disaster preparedness does not waist.

Reflection: The world's changes when we change our perspective

Well I've learned and discussed so many in first quarter. Blogging. Before, I don't know what blogging is but when we tackled it I've learned so many things and discovered how it works and how to use it properly. But then it wasn't easy as I thought.

I encoutered problems in this blogging. At first I don't know where should I start. But then our teacher is teaching us step by step on how to create our blog. Again it was not easy but that doesn't mean your going to give up easily you should be patient. In our first post we're all amazed that each of our post is were going to write a nonsense comments.

And the following days went well. So now we still creating our blogs and commenting each others blog because its fun. And I will teach the teenagers like me because I want share what I've learned and it makes me happy teaching others. So that's all.

Wika ang pinakamahalagang sangkap sa anumang paraan ng mabisang pakikipagtalastasan at komunikasyon

Tuwing buwan ng agosto ipinagdiriwang natin ang buwan ng wika. Ang paggamit ng wika sa pagtuturo ay malaking bagay upang madaling maintindihan ng mga mag-aaral ang kanilang mga asignatura. Wika ang pinakamagandang regalo ng maykapal sa atin. Ito ang ugnayan natin sa kapwa, sa asosasyon, sa institusyon, at maging ang puong maykapal.

kung wala ang wika, paano kaya magkakaintindihan ang mga tao, paano kaya mapabilis ang pagsulong ng kaunlaran at paano mapapalapait ang tao sa isa't-isa? Sa bawat isang tanong at marami pang kasunod na katanungan, hindi sapat ang pagsenyas, pagguhit, ang ingay o anumang paraang maaring likhain ng tao upang matugunan ang lahat ng mga katanungan . Sa lahat ng ito, kailangan ng tao ang WIKA.

Wika ang pinakamabisang sangkap sa paghahatid ng diwa at kaisipan at sa pagpapanatili sa madali o mahabang panahon ng mga nalikom na tala, pangkasaysayan o pampanitikan, pampolitika at panlipunan at maging sa larangan ng siyensya o iba pang disiplina. Naipadaram ng wika ang damdamin, ang lalim ng lungkot, ang lawak ng pag-iisip, ang halaga ng katwiran, ang nakapaloob na katotohanan sa isang mabuting intensyon at marami pang-iba. Kung kaya't pahalagahan parin natin ang ating wika dahil ito'y mahalaga at importante sa atin dahil ito'y bigay mismo ng puong maykapal
