00:00President Ferdinand Armatos Jr. signed the Ligtas Pinoy Centers Act

00:05which establishes strong and safe evacuation centers in every city and municipality in the country.

00:12Its purpose is to provide temporary housing for those affected by calamity.

00:19The President also stated that schools should not be used as evacuation centers

00:24because it affects the students' studies.

00:28The Department of Public Works and Highways, or DPWH, also stipulated

00:32that evacuation centers should follow the National Building Code

00:37and be prepared to face the effects of climate change.

00:40Meanwhile, the government also imposed a student loan payment

00:46in areas under the State of Calamity.

00:49This is in accordance with the Student Loan Payment Moratorium Act

00:53to reduce the burden of families.

00:58We need to ensure that the evacuation centers sufficiently respond to the needs of our people

01:04affected by calamities and other such emergencies.

01:10Investing in these climate resilient facilities must be the norm

01:14for we are not only protecting the people's lives

01:18but also capacitating our local government units to respond,

01:22to reduce and to manage the risks of disasters.

01:26Schools are supposed to be sanctuaries for learning, creativity and growth.

01:32They should not also bear the burden of being makeshift shelters.

01:37With the enactment of this law, we heed that appeal

01:42and commit to only using our schools for the promotion of our students' welfare

01:47and development of the education system.
