00:00Preparation of the community and technology in times of disaster.

00:05The center of discussion on the 4th and last day of the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.

00:13Benji Durango in Central Numbalita Live.

00:20Angelique, 22 town hall discussions will be held on the 4th day of the disaster convention that is taking place here in PICC.

00:29Now is the last day and later in the afternoon, it is expected that this conference will be officially closed.

00:35But in the discussions repeated by UNDRR,

00:39that the Philippines is playing a big role when it comes to disaster risk reduction in the Asia-Pacific region.

00:50I would really say that Philippines is a guiding light.

00:54This has been an extremely gratifying experience and such an honor to be able to host such a broad range as well as a deep range of knowledge.

01:05United Nations Office of Disaster Risk Reduction is happy because a large part of the Philippines

01:10at the end of the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction.

01:15We were called by UNDRR as a guiding light in the planning and implementation of the Sendai Framework in the Asia-Pacific region.

01:22Five important directions were formed in this 4-day disaster conference,

01:26including disaster financing, participation of the LGU, cooperation of private sectors,

01:31inclusivity of marginalized sectors, balancing of the disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation.

01:38This happened because of the good opening on the first day of the conference.

01:42I have to say that all of this was very nicely prefaced by the Honorable President's address on day one.

01:51That really set the stage and that really encouraged us to raise the ambition

01:58and think about disaster risk reduction in newer, bolder ways.

02:03This kind of help is a big thing because the access of the Philippines to disaster response is expanding because of the help of other countries.

02:10There is no doubt that we can benefit from greater knowledge exchange, greater technical assistance.

02:17There is a need for us to also refine and develop our skills in terms of preparing projects so that they, in fact, are impactful.

02:28At the same time, they will receive the kind of strategic support we have from international partners.

02:33Today, we will focus on four topics of discussions.

02:36But this will be focused on the preparedness of the community and technology.

02:40Each topic will have its own discussion.

02:43The delegates started at 9 a.m. and will finish at 5 p.m.

02:48to prepare for the official opening of the four-day convention of 3,000 delegates from different countries and sectors of society.

02:57It is expected that DNR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Luisaga and UNDRR Head Kamal Kishore will finish the entire program.

03:07Angelique, this is the first regional platform made by UNDRR and made here in our country, in the Philippines.

03:16That's why this happened after the adoption of the political declaration of the Sunday Framework Midterm Review.

03:23That's why we can say that this kind of help is very fortunate to be made here in our country.

03:30Yes, Benji, have the mechanisms and funding for the Philippines been discussed?

03:41Many times, Angelique, we have discussed the financing of disaster risk reduction.

03:47This is one of the many challenges not only of the Philippines but also of the member states of the Asia-Pacific

03:55on how to finance disaster risk reduction.

03:58What we have discussed here, Angelique, is that before and after the disaster,

04:04every country should have an action plan.

04:08And financing that is a challenge that many of us can solve.

04:15For example, the Asian Development Bank has a loan or grant that is given to the countries.

04:22The same goes for the institutions like the big businesses that are collaborating with our country

04:31to have funding for the necessary items and activities that we need to fund.

04:38Aside from the funds that the government has allocated for these things.

04:45All right, thank you very much, Benji Dorango.
