The massive flooding in Cagayan and Isabela has highlighted the need for the Philippines to have its own disaster czar who will solely keep an eye on the country’s disaster response and mitigation efforts, Bagong Henerasyon partylist Rep. Bernadette Herrera said Sunday.

This recent undated handout photo received from the Philippine Coast Guard on November 14, 2020 shows coast guard personnel evacuating residents from their flooded home in Cagayan province, north of Manila, days after Typhoon Vamco hit parts of the country bringing heavy rain and flooding.

“Kung ayaw pa ipasa ng Senado ‘yung DDR , siguro kailangan magkaroon ng person in-charge of disaster, or disaster czar. Kasi kailangan may tumutok dito, ‘yung nakikita ang implikasyon ,” she told DZBB in an interview. She said the failure of various agencies to be more proactive in their disaster preparedness measures has contributed to the disaster situation in Cagayan Valley.

“’Yung natural calamities hindi natin kayang iwasan, pero ‘yung mitigating factors kaya natin iwasan,” Herrera said.
