As we can see in all the world, weather events are, as has been predicted, getting more extreme,
00:06.5
such as torrential rains that instantly shift to scorching heat waves, or vice versa.
00:12.6
Our country's geographical location makes us highly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
00:19.1
Precisely because of our inherent vulnerability,
00:22.1
we are proactive advocates for heightened climate responsibility and justice on the global stage.
00:28.5
To this end, we have secured a seat on the Board of the Loss and Damage Fund.
00:35.2
And further, the Philippines has also been selected as host country to that fund.
00:44.4
This will require an enabling law from Congress to confer the legal personality and capacity to the Board.
00:52.8
This welcome development shall complement all our other climate adaptation and mitigation measures,
00:57.5
and we will continue to do so.
00:58.5
And give us a strong voice to access the needed financial assistance for climate-related initiatives and impacts.
01:06.6
At the same time, the most important thing is that the whole country is strong and always ready for the coming of the pandemic.
01:15.3
Our DRRM workers are the first to ensure our broad preparation and our readiness at any time.
01:26.3
As the first to prepare,
01:29.0
we are building important infrastructure that will serve as the protection and center of coordination,
01:36.5
especially in the aspect of helping.
01:39.9
Within the past two years, almost a hundred evacuation centers have already been built.
01:46.9
While in January of this year, we started the operations of our Disaster Response Command Center,
01:53.2
which shall serve as a central hub for the government's disaster response efforts.
01:58.5
Now, with the passage of time,
02:13.6
flood control project has been completed and many others are currently being done throughout the country.
02:18.6
One of them is the Flood Risk Management Project in the Cagayan de Oro River,
02:28.5
which will provide long-term protection to more than 600 hectares of land and 60,000 of our fellow countrymen.
02:37.2
Another project is the Pampanga Bay project, which will serve as an additional flood protection for the flood victims.
02:46.6
In January of this year, we launched a clean-up project in the New Philippines,
02:52.5
where we evacuated our barangays to clean up their communities,
02:55.6
and also to clean up the flood-prone areas of the country.
02:57.7
In the last five months,
02:59.7
more than 40,000 tons of garbage were collected by more than 22,000 barangays throughout the country.
03:10.5
I hope that the local governments will continue to support the clean-up of our communities.
