Morong’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office initiated a three-day Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (CBDRRM) training to ready barangays on implementing disaster management plans for emergencies, hazards at a community level. Cleotilde A. Garrovillas, DRRMO Admin, said the CBDRRM is a 3-year plan that is carried out by barangays in the event of a disaster or hazard within the community. “Ang CBDRRM ay commonly 3-years plan or three years siya na naima-mandate and then so within those three years, kasi ano ‘yun eh, isang plan na kailangan mong gawin sa isang barangay,” Cleotilde stated. The CBDRRM plan in Morong primarily aims to prepare barangay captains and other barangay officials extending to areas where the DRMMO’s social media cannot reach. “Actually, yung involved talaga diyan is barangay, si punong barangay; si kapitan and then ang kaniyang mga tauhan especially yung mga nasa sitios na hindi sila commonly naaabot ng ating mga social medias.” said Garrovillas. Additionally, Mrs. Cleotilde said the CBDRRM is an executive course that is essential to the municipality, and it is important for its recipients to be aware of in case of unexpected disasters. “Hindi lang siya basta isang activity, but this is an executive course na they need na talagang very essential or needed sa ating Bayan ng Morong,” Cleotilde emphasized.

orong LGU, through local DRRM, reaffirmed capacities on disaster reduction and management by commiting to heighten community preparedness though various trainings and orientation among schools, while being honored awardee again in 2023 Gawad KALASAG Seal National Awarding Ceremonies and securing 2.72% beyond compliant rating last year in reinforcing outstanding contributions.

On a post by Seal of Good Local Governance, aside from Morong, the municipality of Binangonan and Cardona, and the city of Antipolo in Rizal, among 493 LGUs were awarded December 13, 2023 at the Manila Hotel. The Morong LGU was among the country’s 1,715 local government units that have been classified as 135 beyond compliant and 436 fully compliant locales last year in Seal and Special Awards for Excellence in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management and Humanitarian Assistance. Meanwhile, Municipal mayor Sidney B. Soriano, together with the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office director, Mr. Jerome Mateo, accepted the award. “Karangalan talaga ng bayan ng Morong ang mapabilang sa tinatawag na ‘Beyond Compliant’ dahil ito ay nagsisimbolo ng kahandaan ng ating pamayanan para dito sa komunidad na ang pamahalaan ng bayan ng Morong”, Mr. Mateo said. Being recognized as “Beyond Compliant” is an award

that symbolizes the municipality of Morong and its local government’s preparedness and dedication to protecting its citizens. “Ang pagtatayo ng emergency 911 dito sa Morong ay isang malaking hakbang para sa ating lahat kung saan ay sinisiguro ng pamahalaang lokal na 99.9% ay mapapalawak ang ugnayan ng komunidad at pamahalaan sa mga pangangailangan nila pag dating sa kaligtasan,” he added. It takes a year to plan and prepare to achieve beyond compliant status, however Mr. Mateo emphasized that claiming the award was challenging; nevertheless, the support from the government and the community made the process more manageable and easier. Further, Mr. Mateo assures to give Moronguenos proper trainings on disaster risk reduction and reliable support during disasters, acknowledging that disasters are a natural part of society and how an inadequate response can have a severe impact on individuals, properties, and livelihoods.

orong National High School’s Brigada Eskwela Coordinator Thania S. Maribojoc, commended volunteers, local government units (LGUs) and partners for their continuous aid in setting up school facilities for School Year 20232024 as part of Brigada Eskwela’s program, September 22.

Maribojoc remarked on the community’s volunteerism on supporting the school together with the growing number of volunteers participating in Morong National High School’s Brigada Eskwela despite the prohibition of solicitations in compliance with program guidelines. “This school year, hindi pinayagan ni Vice President Duterte na magkaroon ng solicitation for Brigada Eskwela. So, more on talagang spirit of volunteerism at tsaka partnership between the community and the school so more on pakikipag-bayanihan talaga between the LGUs, NGOs, teachers, and also the parents para sa magiging matiwasay at successful na Brigada Eskwela,” she stated. Additionally, Maribojoc said the school continues to receive donations and support from stakeholders, elaborating on Brigada Eskwela’s ongoing year-round program. “It is ongoing, at continuous yung in-kind at in-cash donations ng different stakeholders,” Maribojoc mentioned.

However, Morong National High School faced challenges during its early launch of Brigada Eskwela; coordinators in-charge of the program provided funds as the school received zero donations on its launching week. “So yung ika-3rd day ng launching week, ay sinalo ko po at wala po talagang nagdodonate kasi bawal po ang solicitation letter so more on hugot-bulsa ko po ‘yan,” said Maribojoc. On the other hand, Morong National High School remains open to receive aid from stakeholders and volunteers as part of Brigada Eskwela to provide proper classrooms and facilities available to learners. “School and community partnership talaga siya, ‘di naman pwedeng mga guro lang ang kikilos para sa paaralan, kaya nga we are always seeking the help of other stakeholders at tsaka ang municipality para makipagtulungan para sa mga pangangailangan ng paaralan lalong-lalo na para sa mga bata,” Maribojoc stated.
