Usapang Resiliency: The Myth of Filipino Resiliency amid Catastrophes
🎶 Pumapatak na naman ang ulan sa bubong ng bahay... 🎶
Tag-ulan na naman, tagbaha at tagbagyo. Pero, bakit kahit na taon-taon na nating nararanasan ang dilubyo eh palagi pa rin tayong hindi handa at nacaught off guard? Saan ba ang problema? Do we lack experts? Planning? Laws? Funds? O, sadyang may problema lang tayo sa priorities at implementation? Totoo ba ang resiliency ng Pinoy in front of calamities? Is it a justification na paulit-ulit na lang nating sasapitin ang sakuna? How do we emphatize with people when we ourselves are not directly affected sa bagyo?
Yan ang usapan natin this week dito sa inyong paboritong background noise. Kaya sabay ng patak ng ulan, let our voices hele you to sleep!
