Transcript

00:00 The Office of Civil Defense and Next Generation Advocate Foundation PH Inc. or NextGen has reached an agreement

00:08 to make the government's response to disasters and calamities more effective.

00:13 Based on the Memorandum of Agreement, the NextGen will provide support to the government's relief operations

00:20 for those affected by emergencies and calamities.

00:23 Aside from relief goods, the NextGen will also provide logistical support such as vehicles,

00:29 heavy equipment, warehouse and communication equipment.

00:34 Actually, we have to already correct the narrative.

00:38 We have to prepare for the possible big ones.

00:42 It's not just one place in the Philippines that we are preparing for.

00:46 There were also big earthquakes in the north, in Abra, Ilocos, Bohol, Surigao.

00:53 There are many possible places where big earthquakes will hit.

00:58 Preparing is a responsibility not only of the government, national government, and local government.

01:05 Preparing should be done with help and response.

01:09 The government and private sector should help.

01:14 So, because of that, I thank the NextGen group.

01:23 Again, thank you for your willingness.

01:27 Thank you for your willingness to help us all.

01:30 So, after Typhoon Odette, we saw how we can be a bridge between the public and the private sectors.

01:37 So, most of us are coming from the private sector,

01:41 and we saw how we were able to bridge the resources

01:46 and bring it to communities where they need it the most.

01:49 Our main focus is in disaster response.

01:52 So, we are prepared at any time to deploy relief to different communities.

01:58 In terms of manpower, we also have some.

02:01 It's because our group is composed of individuals from different industries in the private sector.

02:08 So, usually manpower is our volunteers.
