For many of us Filipinos, resiliency, is a familiar word that we have encountered multiple time throughout our lives. It’s not a secret that the Filipino people have always prided themselves on their resilience.
The Philippines ranks among the top three countries in the world for population exposure and vulnerability to hazards. In our situation right now, we are facing the stress of upcoming typhoons and problems all across the country. We can lighten the load on the negative side of the resilience scale by reducing sources of stress for families and program staff like helping
families, meet basic needs like food, shelter, diapers, health care, child care, guiding adults who are out of work through applying for financial assistance, creating and providing children’s activity kits and encouraging parents, program staffs, and co-workers to practice self-care. And with this resilience enables us as individuals, families, communities as nations and as a country, to cope better with the stress of the incoming calamities of nature, especially now that it's a season for storms.
The strategic being a resilient Filipino is to acknowledge current reality, re-connect with the vision and values, communicate touch points for stability including a focus on the future, define what success looks like today and adjust as the future unfolds.
