PALALAKASIN pa ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang mga programa ng gobyerno na tutugon sa climate change.

Pahayag ito ni Pangulong Marcos sa paggunita sa ika-11 anibersaryo ng bagyong Yolanda.

“Our ongoing crucibles remind us that the powerful lessons brought by the strongest typhoon in history should not be lost with the passage of time,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.

“As the most disaster-prone country in the world, we cannot do otherwise. We do not have the luxury of ignorance, inaction, and complacency. Thus, we must intensify our efforts to mitigate and adapt to the challenges of climate change and urgently abate our vulnerability to disasters,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.

Ayon kay Pangulong Marcos, mahalaga na palakasin din ang komunidad pati na ang local government units (LGUs) para masiguro na madali ang pamimigay ng tulong.

Binigyang diin ng Pangulo ang kahalagahan na maging handa ang komunidad laban sa bagyo.

“And after making sure that the communities brace better against typhoons, that they can build back better after, by making them more resilient than before. Calamities are teaching moments, and every one that came after Yolanda delivered a payload of lessons that instructed us how to improve our response,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos.

“Since then, we have strengthened institutional bulwarks against calamities, which our countrymen have matched with increasing care and compassion for those affected. It is also because of this bayanihan of our race that the pain of victims is assuaged and the rebuilding of homes and livelihoods is accelerated,” dagdag ng Pangulo.

Nagpasalamat si Pangulong Marcos sa international communities at iba pang organisasyon na sumuporta at tumulong sa mga biktima ng bagyong Yolanda .
