Filipino Resiliency

Disaster resilience is the ability of individuals, communities, organizations and states to adapt to, and recover from hazards, shocks or stresses without compromising long-term prospects for development. Resilience is the ability to anticipate risk, limit impact, and bounce back rapidly through survival, adaptability, evolution, and growth in the face of turbulent change. Resilient communities minimize any disaster's disruption to everyday life and their local economies.

Our country is prone to many disasters thus many structures were destroyed and many people were injured and killed because of these disasters. Our country has a difficulty in recovering immediately after these disasters and most of the Filipinos depend and rely their needs on the government and and this is the so called Top Down Approach wherein the government are the only one planning and working on how to recover fast from a disaster. That's why our country is slow and left behind when it comes in recovering from a disaster because many people are depending, relying and waiting on them even if they can stand on their own. This is one of the problem why our country has a difficulty in recovering fast because the people were always relying on the government. What if we'll change our habit and do the Bottom Up Approach wherein we are joining and helping in planning on how we will solve these problems and we can also share some possible solutions. Our country will immediately recover if we Filipino are helping one another, supporting the government and we should not always rely on them if we think that we can do it without their help to lessen their thoughts and problems and that they can give attention and can help on those people who are less fortunate or those who have disabilities and can't support their needs.

Helping and planning together should be possessed to make the country recover immediate from a disaster and can surpass all the challenges that the country is facing.
