Baha nanaman?! 🙏🏼 Had an insightful discussion with Dr. Mahar Lagmay of the UP Resilience Institute (formerly Project NOAH). He reminded me of something crucial: investing in thorough feasibility studies and scientific research isn’t just beneficial, it’s absolutely necessary. Our local governments and national leaders need to shift from reactive measures to proactive planning. When we plan ahead, our infrastructure becomes stronger, our flood control projects become smarter, and our communities become safer. It’s not just about saving resources and property... it’s about saving lives. Thank you to Dr. Mahar Lagmay and his amazing team for their dedication and important work. Please keep inspiring change, and hopefully, more people will listen and take action. 🇵🇭
