Resilience despite challenges

 Our country is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire. We are also surrounded of the bodies of water. Because of that, we experience and T we encounter many disasters like strong typhoons and active volcanoes. It is a blessing that we are located in the center but it is also a curse. These had lead to many destructions in our economy including loss of lives. This is a reality that we cannot escape. In fact, every year more stronger typhoons and other more disasters are being felt and experienced by us, Filipinos. But not only natural disasters are felt by us but we faced also things that is done by us and we are the cause of it.


Despite all the challenges, It is now the world that we live. But can we prevent it from getting worse? Yes, there is always a way and we can do it if we have a will. Resilient or in tagalog, matatag. This is just only a word but it is very powerful. When we dig deeper we will truly understand what does it mean. Many challenges, but despite everything we stay strong and resilient. With everything that has happened we are already, slowly getting used to it. And instead of feeling down and giving up we are standing still and trying our very best to be strong, unmovable, brave, and still. That is what I admire in us Filipinos, is that amidst all challenges resilience shines. 



Challenges is what causes resilience. Do you think if we do not have challenges to face are we going to still be resilient? Maybe not but also maybe yes. But as we deal so many circumstances and we can't escape it, resilience is what we have. As the topic says "towards a more resilient Philippines." Only one Filipino, it will help but it is better if all of us are united and helping each other. This will make a big impact towards making Philippines more resilient. As they always say "Two is better than one."
