00:00 Many Filipinos are confused when it comes to the permission of flooding.
00:04 It's called "resiliency" but some officials say that it should be limited and should be action-based.
00:11 Mark Salazar is the witness.
00:13 This deep flood in Barangay Sapangbayan, Kalumpit, Bulacan is a picture of a disaster.
00:27 But it depends on the person who is watching and experiencing the situation.
00:32 Level 1 flood, guys.
00:34 There, up to the eyes.
00:37 Level 2 flood.
00:41 Level 3 flood.
00:45 Guys, level 4.
00:49 Level 4 flood.
00:51 Level 5, guys.
00:54 Guys, it's level 5.
01:00 Renz is just buying food but this is how deep the flood water needs to be.
01:05 And despite the danger to his health, he is still able to hold on.
01:10 There's no dry land left in Renz's house, just a swimming pool.
01:17 But he's still happy, even his family is at home.
01:20 We're here in the middle of the sea.
01:23 There are other opportunities in the flood, like these two in Kalumpit, who are ticksite fishing while the weather is still bad.
01:32 For the ticksite fishers, this is okay.
01:35 What we usually call this is "resiliency".
01:39 But what Senator Loren Legarda said in the 35th National Disaster Resilience Month,
01:45 There's a limit to resilience. We really need to implement the law.
01:51 I would like to see a time when there's no time for resilience because we did it right at the first time.
01:57 The Office of Civil Defense and NDRRMC themselves said that
02:02 the implementation of risk reduction and disaster management laws is still not enough.
02:08 They say it's not easy.
02:10 We need to improve the coordination.
02:12 This cannot be done by just one agency.
02:14 Experts in disaster response say that the true definition of resiliency is the ability of the community to learn from the lessons of the disaster,
02:24 to avoid it from happening again.
02:26 The ability to absorb the shock, to resist the effects of the shock,
02:31 and to transform our ways of doing things so that we can proactively respond better.
02:37 According to Dr. Emma Porrio of Ateneo de Manila,
02:41 if we are truly resilient, the evacuation centers and food boxes should no longer be part of the action plan and budget.
02:48 I feel that we have focused on really evacuating and all that stuff,
02:53 but I think we have to build the capacities of everyone.
02:56 I think resilience is everyday action.
02:59 That's the ideal situation.
03:01 We will force all of that to happen.
03:04 It's almost automatic for people to respond.
03:09 They already know what to do when there is a threat of calamity.
03:13 For GMA Integrated News, I am Mark Salazar, your witness.
