The Marcos administration is working double time to significantly reduce the risks and negative impact of the El Niño phenomenon, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said. ManilaBulletin
The PCO, citing a three-page report submitted by the Department of National Defense to the President, said that the government had reconstituted an "El Niño team" led by the Department of Interior and Local Government with other member agencies.
In his report, Defense Senior Undersecretary Carlito Galvez Jr. said the reconstituted team is in response to President Marcos' directive to implement a "Whole-Of-Government" and a "Whole-Of-Nation" approach to prepare for the possible impact of the extensive dry spell. Galvez suggested that Marcos issued a resolution indicating the adoption of the existing E-RAIN framework and, if needed, create a technical working group.
Galvez emphasized that the reconstituted El Niño team has agreed to update and improve the E-RAIN, specifically the areas of concern such as food security, water security, energy security, health, and public safety. He added that they have agreed to continue the existing structure of the El Niño Task Force.
