November 8, 2013, exactly 6 years ago when the most

devastating weather system smashed the heart of the Philippines the


visayas Region. Six years had passed but the memory is still dear, the
terror is still there and I can’t help to shed a tear just thinking of what
happened that unforgettable day. The day I was given a second life along
with my family.

We watched TV for hourly report of the status of the


typhoon, outside the rain was still falling hard and once in a whole the
wind gust. A report says the typhoon was getting nearer and it may
landfall early the next morning.

After typhoon Yolanda devastated the Philippines, resilient


was a term frequently used by the media, survivors, government officials
and various other stakeholders in the city of on how this term was
articulated and experience during that period. Once by the typhoon and
once more by government policy and the inequitable distribution of
relief goods and services due to the inadequacies of the disaster
response.

I argue that resilience is a complex, overused manipulated


and contested term and that a more transparent understanding of
resilience for disaster relief and rehabilitation is needed. We cannot stop
natural disaster but we can arm ourselves with knowledge so many live
wouldn’t have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness if we
lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.
