 INTRODUCTION
Hello my dear students and welcome to Disaster Readiness Risk Reduction modular
class! This module will help you develop the knowledge, skills and values that are essential for
disaster mitigation, adaptation, and preparedness. In our country, hydro-meteorological hazards
(exm. Typhoons, flash floods, and storm surge) caused by climate change brought devastations
to human lives and well-being, our economy, society, and environment. It is therefore important
that you, your family, and the whole community know how to anticipate and prepare for the
possible impacts brought by these hazards. However, human-induced disaster like fires can
happen, thus it is also important to be constantly aware and be pro-active to prevent and prepare
to respond to this type of hazard. Being aware also that the governments’ laws, policies, and
programs empowers local government units and its people to contribute in disaster readiness and
risk reduction of its people.

To the Teacher
It is desired that the lessons as well as learning materials that the students will be learning
and creating shall be shared to the greater school community particularly among the vulnerable
groups- children, the sick, pregnant, and lactating women, old people, and persons with disability.
Providing the students, the opportunity to lead in community-based disaster preparedness
education will surely contribute to a more resilient communities from the effects of disasters
whether natural or man-made.

To the Student
At the end of these modules, you will have a better understanding on the important role
you play in disaster prevention and preparedness. The writer will be greatly pleased when you
apply your knowledge and skills to prevent the loss of lives and mitigate the impacts of disasters
to you, your family, and your communities. You may have the courage to face the uncertainties
of the future as our planet and all LIFE forms face the existential threat of climate change and
disasters.

 Lesson DRR-related Laws and
1 Policies

The Republic Act 10121 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations guide disaster risk
reduction policies, programs, projects, and activities of the country. Disaster risk reduction efforts
have been mainstreamed in all branches of the government. This act aims to adopt and
implement a coherent, comprehensive, integrated, efficient and responsive disaster risk reduction
program incorporated in the development plan at various levels of government adhering to the
principles of good governance such as transparency and accountability within the context of
poverty alleviation and environmental protection. The realization of this act will contribute to a
more prepared and resilient communities to the effects of natural and man-made disasters.
However, this act also includes the mechanisms on how the communities through its local
government units can increase their capacity to rehabilitate affected communities, improve its
capacity to respond, cope, resist, adapt, and mitigate the effects of climate change and disasters.

What’s In (Balikan)

Review
In the previous lessons, you learned the importance of having a family disaster plan which
includes the preparation of emergency/survival kits. This plan should be responsive to the kind
of risks that your family is facing. However, you must also have realized that the community
disaster plan which has been formulated through a community participatory approach will
contribute greatly to disaster preparedness, mitigation, prevention, response, and rehabilitation
of affected communities.

What’s New

What are the salient features of the DRRM Act?

1. Coherence with international framework

2. Adherence to universal norms, principles, and standards of humanitarian assistance.

7
 3. Good governance through transparency and accountability.
4. Strengthened institutional mechanism for DRRM.
5. Integrated, coordinated, multi‐sectoral, inter‐agency, and community‐based approach to
disaster risk reduction.
6. Empowerment of local government units (LGUs) and civil society organizations (CSOs)
as key partners in disaster risk reduction
7. Integration of the DRRM into the educational system
8. Establishment of the DRRM Fund (DRRMF) at the national and local levels Providing for
provisions on the declaration of a state of calamity, remedial measures, prohibited acts
and penalties.

What is RA 10121?

Republic Act No. 10121, known as the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management (DRRM) Act of 2010, is an act mandated to strengthen disaster management in the
Philippines, a country prone to natural hazards. Signed on May 27, 2010, it aims to develop a
framework and roll out resources that will enable the national government, the local government
units, and other stakeholders to build communities that can survive disasters.

The DRRM Act adopts and adheres to principles & strategies consistent with the
international standards set by the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA). The HFA is a
comprehensive, action‐oriented response to international concern about the growing impacts of
disasters on individuals, communities & national development. The HFA was formulated and
adopted by 168 governments at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction held in Kobe, Hyogo
Prefecture, Japan in 2005. It is aimed at building the resilience of nations and communities to
disasters and reducing vulnerabilities and risks to hazards. On September 14, 2009, the Philippine
Senate ratified the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response
(AADMER) which is ASEAN’s affirmation of its commitment to the HFA.

What is the difference between the DRRM Fund and the previous Calamity Fund?

A declaration of a state of calamity is no longer necessary to access and utilize the DRRM
Fund. The Local DRRM Fund shall be sourced from not less than 5% of the estimated revenue
from regular sources (Sec. 21 par. 1). The DRRM Fund can be used for DRRM. It can be used
to implement the DRRM Plan. Thirty percent (30%) of the fund shall be set aside as a Quick
Response Fund (QRF) for relief and recovery programs. (Sec. 21 par 1; Sec. 22.a & c)
Unexpended LDRRMF goes to a trust fund which will be used solely for DRRM activities of the
LDRRMC within the next five (5) years.

Who can declare a State of Calamity?

The President can declare a state of calamity upon the recommendation of the NDRRMC.
The local sanggunian may now also declare and lift the state of calamity within their locality. This
is upon the recommendation of the LDRRMC based on the results of the damage assessment
and needs analysis (Sec. 16).

What are remedial measures?

Remedial measures are the mandatory courses of action which shall immediately be
undertaken during the declaration of a state of calamity (Sec. 17).

8
These are as follows:
1. Imposition of a price ceiling on basic necessities and prime commodities
2. Prevention of overpricing/profiteering and hoarding of prime commodities, medicines, and
petroleum products.
3. Programming/reprogramming of funds for the repair and upgrading of public infrastructure.
4. Granting of no‐interest loans by government financing institutions to the most affected
population

How will DRRMCs coordinate during a disaster?

▪ The LDRRMCs take the lead in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from the
effects of any disaster based on the following criteria (Sec. 15):
▪ The Barangay Development Council– One (1) barangay is affected.
▪ The City/Municipal DRRMCs— Two (2) or more barangays are affected.
▪ The Provincial DRRMC ‐ two (2) or more cities/municipalities are affected.
▪ The Regional DRRMC—Two (2) or more provinces are affected.
▪ The NDRRMC— Two (2) or more regions are affected.

What are the prohibitions?

1. Dereliction of duties which leads to destruction, loss of lives, critical damage of facilities
and misuse of funds.
2. Preventing the entry and distribution of relief goods in disaster‐stricken areas, including
appropriate technology, tools, equipment, accessories, disaster teams/experts.

Graft raps ordered filed vs ex-Ecija governor

Elizabeth Marcelo (The Philippine Star) - June 8, 2018 - 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines - The Office of the Ombudsman has ordered the filing of graft charges
against former Nueva Ecija governor Aurelio Umali over the allegedly illegal repacking and
distribution of relief goods from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)
supposedly to advance his and his political party’s agenda in the 2016 elections. In a 15-page
resolution dated March 7 and obtained by The STAR, the Office of the Deputy Ombudsman for
Luzon found probable cause to charge Umali before the Sandiganbayan with violation of Section
3 of Republic Act 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and Section 19 of RA 10121
or the Philippine Disaster Reduction and Management Act. Ordered charged with Umali were
several other former and incumbent officials, including former Cabanatuan City vice mayor
Emmanuel Antonio Umali; former councilor Gabriel Calling; incumbent Councilor Johnero
Mercado; village chairmen Ramon Garcia and Richard Medina of Barangay Barlis and Barangay
Mayapyap in Cabanatuan City, respectively; provincial economist Leoncio Daniel; provincial
administrative officer Emelita Muyot; provincial social welfare officer Fannie Bugayong; provincial
nutrition officer Lutgarda Domingo; social welfare aide Irenea Palma and bookbinder Teresa
Castelo. The other respondents were private individuals Edna Bolisay, Melchor Morales, Caesar
Cipriano, Joel Del Mundo, Fortune Ferdinand Eusebio, Mary Antonette Feliciano and Jovic
Hernandez.The ombudsman’s resolution stemmed from a complaint filed by Josephine Libunao
on June 30, 2016. Ombudsman probers said their investigation showed that Umali, in conspiracy
with the other officials, allegedly repacked the relief goods received from the DSWD in 2016 to
make it appear that they came from his political party.

The ombudsman said the relief goods, which were supposed to be distributed to typhoon
victims, were repacked in white, unlabeled plastic bags and distributed in a gift-giving activity
organized by Umali’s party in various barangays in Nueva Ecija. “By removing the goods from
the DSWD boxes and repacking them in unlabeled plastic bags and placing them in blue sacks
before distributing them so close to the elections and wearing their party shirts, gave the
impression that the goods were from their party and not sourced from the DSWD,” the
ombudsman’s ruling read.

“The respondents presented no evidence that they purchased the goods themselves.
Umali’s denial is without credence. For denial to be believed, it must be buttressed by strong
evidence,” it added. The ombudsman gave weight to the testimonies of DSWD provincial officials,
who said that their personnel did not conduct the repacking and that such act was not authorized
by their office. The ombudsman pointed out that then DSWD secretary Dinky Soliman said
that repacking or division of relief goods without authority from the social welfare department was
illegal. “The respondents gave themselves, their political party and their partymates unwarranted

12
benefits, advantage and preference when they distributed the goods to their constituents, making
it appear that they procured the goods from other sources and were not provided by the DSWD,”
the anti-graft agency said. Nueva Ecija Police Office-Provincial Public Safety Company chief
Ricardo Villanueva, local social welfare officer Aurora Macapagal and provincial home
management technologist Romesita Flores were cleared of the charges for lack of probable
cause. Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales approved the resolution on April 6 based on the
recommendation of Graft Investigation and Prosecution Officer II Rio Rose Santos and Deputy
Ombudsman for Luzon Gerard Mosquera. Umali ran for congressman under the Liberal Party in
the May 2016 elections, but he lost to Rosanna Vergara of the Nationalist People’s
Coalition. Umali was a three-term governor of Nueva Ecija. He was replaced by his wife, former
Nueva Ecija Third District representative Czarina Umali.
