BUNQUIN, JON BENEDIK A.

Journalism 196 Script VIDEO AUDIO FADE IN ROLL VO: In August this year, Metro Manila was devastated by monsoon floodings. Thousands were left homeless and millions worth of properties were lost. Residents of Marikina, one of the cities heavily damaged by the rains, had to endure days in evacuation areas, and rely on relief goods for survival. It felt like Ondoy all over again for Marikenyos. According to the Department of Social Welfare and Development, PWDs are more vulnerable during disasters SOT LIZA MAHINAY (DSWD PWD Specialist): Vulnerable lahat during disasters. Mas vulnerable sila kasi nga meron silang mga limitations. In terms of, halimbawa kung may sunog yan hindi agad sila makakalabas. Lalo na kung wala silang mga assistant, mga personal assistant, walang maggaguide. VO: Candido Senobio, a resident of Tumana, Marikina, experienced difficulties during the evacuation of his wife, Lydia. Lydia has mental and mobility impairment. SOT CANDIDO SENOBIO: Mahirap sa mahirap kasi may kapansanan siya. Maski nga ako na walang kapansanan, kasi sama-sama sa evacuation. Hindi ka makagalaw ng maayos na galaw. VO: According to the disaster response unit of DSWD, PWDs are given third priority during disasters, following children and the elderly. Consultations are held beforehand in preparation for disasters, and in order to address their special needs.

SOT JOEL PANGILINAN (DSWD Disaster Unit Head): In every level ng planning gaya ng ginagawa natin ngayon sa evacuation center, siguro after appropriate time na magkaroon kami ng mga concrete planning na kung saan kailangan ng inputs nila, so thats the time talaga na iinvolve naming sila. They are not being left out, kasi nga sila yung end user nito eh. FADE IN ROLL VO: Some of the special needs cited by PWDs during disasters are Equipment Folding Beds and Special Medicines Accessible facilities Batas Pambansa 344 or the accessibility law states that buildings and establishments should be made accessible for PWDs. However, at present some of the evacuation areas have failed to comply with the standards. This, and lack of available needs make rescue and relief even more stressful and difficult for PWDs In Marikina, the MCDRRMO or the Marikina City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office identified barangay Tumana, barangay Malanday and barangay Nangka as the most vulnerable areas in the city. According to Ed Angelo Tan, head of planning and research, MCDRRMO is still on targeting and organizing aspect of disaster planning. The Office was only established in June this year. SOT ED-ANGELO TAN (Head of Research and Planning - Marikina MCDRRMO): Ina-identify palang natin kung sino yung mga PWDs per barangay, not actually the 16 barangays pero yung three highrisk barangays natin, As of the moment nakapagbaba na tayo ng memo for barangay tumana, malanday at nangka na makapagbigay sila ng information regarding the recognized and registered PWDs nila kasi yung

Yung mga recognized kasi sila yung mga tinutulungan ng mga barangay pero di pa sila nakaregister sa CSWD natin. SIT OF SUYIN JAMORALIN VO: Data banking has always been an issue in disaster management especially when it comes to identifying PWDs. Citizen Disaster Response Center, a nongovernment organization that aids communities before, during and after disasters, stresses the importance of identifying their special needs. SOT SUYIN JAMORALIN (Coordinator CDRC): Actually malaki yung pwedeng gawin kung ideally talaga yung mga relief operation ay kino-consider mo talaga yung ibat ibang needs ng bawat tao. Pero the usual na nangyayari sa atin eh standard. Pareparehas yung binibigay. VO: Standard relief packs contain a kilo of rice, canned goods, instant noodles and biscuits. Special needs are noted through data banking and right now DSWD calls for a stricter implementation from the LGUS.

SOT JOEL PANGILINAN (DSWD Disaster Unit Head): The purpose is to come up a structure. A structured evacuation center. Bale isang malaking area to kung saan naroon na lahat ng facilities from tulugan, mga rooms per family. Nandon na yung ibat ibang lutuan, kitchen set. So kumpleto, mga dining room. Isasama namin yung mga PWD in terms of designing dito, para sa final ano na, ito na yung design, ipapaconsult na sa kanila.
