THE Department of Education (DepEd) lauded President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. and lawmakers following the enactment of the Ligtas Pinoy Centers Act. The new law mandates the establishment of dedicated evacuation centers in every city and municipality across the country.

'Investing in these climate resilient facilities must be the norm for we are not only protecting the people's lives but also capacitating our local government units to respond, to reduce and to manage the risks of disasters,' President Marcos Jr. said.
