The Philippines has met its recent typhoon, "Egay", it was devastating however despite the heavy impact Filipinos quickly recovered from the storm. But before bagyo egay, was an earthquake that caused severe destruction to the Philippines, even after our buildings, infrastructure, famous tourist spots, and our beloved Saint Paul Cathedral are ruined. We somehow managed to improvise, adapt, and overcome the aftermath of that disaster. And even before the earthquake there was the infamous COVID-19 pandemic that created a global quarantine. Even after all of that, the Philippines faces such worldwide threat with silver lining. The Philippines remain standing tall, thanks to our resilience!
Filipinos throughout centuries are natural born survivors. Resilience is our defining characteristics that made us different, we manage to tackle our disappointments and emerge more strong and determine with the odds against us! We survive those circumstances for we are strong fighters in those desperate situations. The resiliency of Filipinos can also be inspired by finding strength through close family ties. We remained mentally resilient thanks to our family, friends, and loved ones to lend a sympathetic ear and a helping hand when times are getting tough.
If we're going to a more resilient Philippines then we must train the latest generation how to improvise, adapt, and overcome the situations that is about to come. Train their minds to be mentally prepared for the unexpected. Feed their knowledge through education and learning. Comfort them if times are getting tough. And most importantly, carry the burden for a resilient Philippines. We have face the storm but together we will all face the world!
