But this problem didn't lead to the downfall of the Philippines and the Filipino people. The problem was resolved thanks to the courage, incredible fortitude, faith, and helpfulness of the countrymen. Rodrigo Duterte, the earlier president of the Philippines, was in charge of this. He dealt with the crumbling of Marawi by requesting the MILF forces to provide support to those still trapped in the city while the issue was still going on. The President, the nation's Department of National Defense, and some assistance from other nations banded together to chase down the one to blame.
The incident highlighted that the Philippines' resilience is higher than most people realize. It is inestimable since the Philippines tried everything to get back on its feet. Because the citizens recovered stronger and more prepared to confront challenges, the nation was able to overcome disappointments and failures. In actuality, resilience is one of the Philippines' best traits, meaning that its people will always manage to endure no matter what calamity strikes.
Additionally, Filipinos have already mastered how to survive natural catastrophes and unforeseen calamities like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and multiple typhoons.
For instance, in order to prepare for typhoons, we strengthen the house's foundation, arrange for basic necessities, and are aware of the approved evacuation zones. In order to know greater detail, we listen to the news. People either stay inside their homes or evacuate during the strongest moments of the typhoon. After the typhoon, they return home, rebuild their houses, and resume their lives.
We also have drills like the Duck, Cover, and Hold drill for earthquake preparedness. This method aims to reduce the number of earthquake-related injuries and the effects they have on resources.
Furthermore, we have precautions in place for volcanic eruptions. After saving necessities, we evacuate and obey to agency regulations. These laws are intended to benefit the populace, which has resulted in efforts to successfully confront the aforementioned disaster.
The previous examples of natural disasters, anthropogenic hazards, and unexpected calamities have only served to strengthen Filipinos' resilience. And as Filipinos, we have consistently maintained a positive outlook and attitude in the face of disasters. Everyone may have become numb as a result of the many difficulties we have faced in the past, but our spirits continue to soar because we have an unshakable belief that we can succeed and overcome all obstacles.
