00:00As discussed in the second day of the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction,

00:06the importance of having a large fund during a disaster.

00:10According to NEDA, the Philippines can do this with the help of the public and private partnership

00:16of Benji Durango in Detalle.

00:22Resiliency or being strong during a disaster,

00:2411 town hall discussions were held here in the PICC.

00:28In these discussions, the government, foreign delegates, NGOs, and the business sector exchanged information.

00:34They agreed on the idea that everyone should have a program for disaster risk reduction.

00:39For example, the government's obligation to fund disaster response and mitigation.

00:43Like Japan, which is also part of the Asia-Pacific,

00:45their investment in disaster risk reduction is $50 billion within 3 years.

00:50Like in the Philippines, earthquakes, typhoons, and tsunamis

00:53are some of the hazards that they are facing.

00:56According to UNDRR, not all countries can afford a large fund for disaster preparedness.

01:02There are several ways to do this through public-private partnership.

01:06The Asian Development Bank also has a fund that can be accessed by member countries.

01:11In the Philippines, this has been done for a long time according to DNR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga.

01:16Aside from the country's fund in DRR,

01:18private sectors and MSMEs are also helping in the supply chain

01:22to prepare the community for the effects of calamity.

01:25An integrated approach to disaster risk financing that is both data and context-driven

01:30is needed to streamline risk prevention strategies across sectors

01:35and along different decision-making levels.

01:38NEDA Secretary Arsenio Molina Balisacan also believes

01:42that the country can only rely on grants, loans, and insurance whenever calamity strikes.

01:47Traditional models of disaster risk financing such as grants, loans, and insurance

01:53often fall short in terms of both speed and sufficiency,

01:58underscoring the need for more adaptive and responsive solutions.

02:02Aside from the government's fund,

02:04public-private partnership in disaster mitigation is also a big deal.

02:08On behalf of the business community,

02:10let me state that disaster risk should be incorporated in enterprise risk management

02:16and business continuity practices.

02:20Further, DRR should be embedded in corporate strategy

02:24and the whole capital allocation process.

02:27Another effective way is to listen to the residents of a possible affected area.

02:32Like the fishermen who were taught to farm mangroves,

02:35this is the result of their belief that their boats can't be saved

02:39whenever there is a storm and the waves are strong at sea.

02:41Through mangroves, their boats are saved from possible damage

02:45because the waves are so strong that the mangroves are damaged.

02:48Of the 11 town hall discussions that took place yesterday,

02:51disaster financing and investments were chosen

02:54as one of the challenges facing developing countries like the Philippines.

02:59Benji Durango for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.
