Recommended long-term education initiatives post #YolandaPH disaster

Now After the Yolanda Tragedy, What should the Government Do Next?

BACKGROUND SCENARIO: FILIPINO PEOPLE is not ACCUSTOMED on DISASTER MANAGEMENT:

1. Most of the Filipino Culture always rely on "BAHALA NA" , "MAMAYA NA" and "BUKAS NA".
2. Most of the Filipinos are NOT AWARE on DISASTER TERMINOLOGIES like "STORM SURGE vs. TSUNAMI , SUPER TYPHOON vs. SIGNAL no. 3 etc.
3. FILIPINO PEOPLE always rely on HELP. THEY ALWAYS CALL FOR HELP. NEVER STAND AND PREPARE FOR WORST.
4. FILIPINO PEOPLE are NOT EQUIP with ADVANCE Warning Systems and Response in Calamity.

I mentioned these things because I want that the Government should look on the causes on why these YOLANDA and other Calamity related incidents causes thousand lives lost despite of perceived preparations and efforts.

They always recommend to prepare evacuation and relief goods but these preparations is not enough to meet the sudden changing dangers of climate change.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Encourage Congressman and Senators to look into revision and make new LAWS in Regarding DISASTER PREPAREDNESS. Make a DISASTER BILL OF PHILIPPINES to address the problem stated above. FILIPINO PEOPLE IS NOT WELL EDUCATED on DISASTER PLANNING and IMPLEMENTATION.

TRAINING WITH COURSE CERTIFICATES for a 3 days to 1 week of training to achieve a Course Disaster Preparedness Achievement or let say A yearly FIRE DRILL is NOT ENOUGH to influence the FILIPINO PEOPLE to become prepared it should START on Level of Preparatory (Elementary-HS, to Undergraduates) to Graduate Level of Education and lastly on Working Professional Fields.

A LAW SHOULD Mandate the Department CHED, PRC, and DOH alike. SHOULD FOCUS ON THE FOLLOWING:

1. QUARANTINE OR INFECTION INCIDENT FEATURES AND PROTOCOL
2. EARTHQUAKE LIKE, VOLCANIC ERUPTION PROTOCOL
3. WAR RELATED and NUCLEAR FALL OUT PROTOCOL
4. TSUNAMIS AND STORM SURGE PROTOCOLS
5. FIRE RELATED PROTOCOLS
6. MAN-MADE VIOLENCE CONFLICT PROTOCOLS
7. EVACUATION PROTOCOL
8. SURVIVAL PROTOCOL AFTER THE EVENT
9. POST TRAUMA DE-BRIEFING PROTOCOLS
10. COMMUNICATION SYSTEM PROTOCOLS
THESE SHOULD BE INTRODUCED ON THE CURRICULUM STARTING ON the PREPARATORY LEVEL, INTERMEDIATE, UNDERGRADUATE, GRADUATE LEVEL INCLUDING PROFESSIONALS AND LGU AS A SUBJECT COURSE.
PREPARATORY LEVEL: Grades 1-7 as PART OF THEIR SUBJECT EVERY SEMESTER
1. Introduction to Disasters and Kinds of Disasters

2. PHASES OF DISASTER AND CYCLE OF DISASTER

NON- PROFESSIONALS AND WORKERS:

2. KINDS OF DISASTER MANGEMENT
3. DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

WHAT HAPPENED ON YOLANDA ALL OF THE PEOPLE OF TACLOBAN BECOME VICTIMS and the only RESORT to SURVIVE was TO CALL FOR HELP.

Summary:

1. The Government should push to a Law and establish a DISASTER BILL
2. Educated and Non Educated People should be not innocent on Disaster Preparedness
3. Every Specialization should move and cooperate during disaster.
4. THE DISASTER IS NOT LIMITED to EARTHQUAKES OR STORM, There can be a man made violence or riots, Infection Outbreaks and possible Nuclear Fall-out.

The Nation Needs Disaster Management Leaders, and do not rely on Appointee or by experience, we should have a course to address these problems.

Leni Robredo has become a sad mechanical puppet and an embarrassment to Filipinos

By -

Guess who has taken over Leila de Lima’s place on the anti-Duterte international speaking circuit? Watch this video that Leni Robredo made for an international NGO event in Vienna tomorrow. Warning: this will REALLY make your blood boil. If you have vertigo, sit down and take a deep breath before watching. You know what’s really sickening about this video? It’s not even the lies and exaggerations that Robredo is saying about what’s going on in the Philippines and how Pinoys feel about it (as if she’s in any position to speak for the Filipino people, who mostly hate her guts). It’s the hollowness and emptiness of the way she mechanically reads from a script that obviously someone else wrote. She’s making huge claims about thousands of people being summarily killed by police, but her eyes and voice are absolutely empty of emotion or conviction. She’s just a puppet playing a role, who doesn’t even understand what she’s doing or saying, she’s just mindlessly following her owner’

Response to Sass Rogando Sasot: Duterte has supporters who are not blind beholden emos

By -

So Sass Rogando Sasot posted a reaction on her FB page to defend Andanar : Regarding the GRP Short article on Andanar being suspected as a “mole.” Ang premise nila eh si Andanar eh walang ginagawa to protect the “international image” of the president. FYI, in order for you to counter the PR of those who would like to bring down Duterte, you need to spend A LOT OF MONEY for international PR. Mahal po ang international PR. Si Duterte po ang ayaw gumastos for international PR. Yup, Duterte is not like PNoy’s admin who spent a filthy amount of tax payer’s money for international PR. I think someone on Get Real Post already pointed out before that Sasot is book-smart but lacks common sense. We see proof of that once again here. Does regularly monitoring and editing Duterte’s Wikipedia page to give foreigners more balanced info cost a lot of money? No, it doesn’t. It’s certainly cheaper than what Andanar is wasting every month printing a useless local monthly tabloid that reaches

Jo Lapira: youth wasted on Joma Sison's bankrupt communist ideology

By -

“Youth is wasted on the young”, they used to say. If you send your daughter or son, to universities, like the University of the Philippines. You send him or her, to learn about the subjects, of the field, he/she is hoping to finish and graduate. Not waste his/her time on bankrupt political ideologies like communism. Jo Lapira, the NPA casualty is a good example. Her parents, may have been slaving to earn money to send her, to college and give her a good education, so that, after graduation, she could have a good job and a good career, to better her life. However, she wasted this opportunity in her life fighting for an ideology she hardly understood. She wasted her life; and now her life ends tragically, in a clash with the AFP. Those who still believe this communist ideology is the panacea of our country’s problems should realise that this communist ideology is a failed ideology. It has been tested, and the communist theory of workers’ utopia, is a Delusion, and a Mirage. What

Jose Rizal never had Tagalog in mind when he encouraged us to love our own language

By -
Image
Posted by a certain Chloe Santiago on the Facebook GRP Community Group : Jose Rizal died in 1896 and Tagalog was declared the official language of the Philippine only in 1937. This can only mean that Rizal wasn't really talking about Tagalog when he made this statement: "He who does not love his own language is worse than an animal and smelly fish." Indeed. Who made the arbitrary directive to make the Tagalog dialect the "National Language" to begin with? Furthermore, why have a "National Language" when Filipinos are already proficient in the global lingua franca of commerce and scientific achievement?
