SEN. Bong Go stressed the urgent need for a more robust approach to disaster resilience and preparedness as the Philippines has once again been recognized as the most disaster-prone country in Southeast Asia.
'Tragedies caused by typhoons, earthquakes and other calamities are not new to us. As a country in the typhoon belt and Pacific Ring of Fire, we need to strengthen our preparations so that our countrymen can be safer whenever there is a disaster,' Go said.
