PARTICIPITATION
Going back to our topic on grade 10-Araling Panlipunan, one of the main goals of that subject
is for us youth actively participating in the different activities of our community. Participation
allows many opportunities and hopes for the community. In which participation can link the
thematic area of NDRRM to CBDRRM. Nevertheless, first, let us dig deep behind CBDRRM.
Due to its geographical location and physical environment, the Philippines have experienced its
fair share of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tropical cyclones, and floods. The nation is
continuously troubled by these hazards, which have a high occurrence rate, widespread
distribution, and devastating losses. Cost the government a great deal of money.
The government is responsible for taking good care of its people. Back then, the government
used the top-down approach in disaster management. Their basis for making a decision is their
perception. The people of the community are negligible to be a part of decision-making. These
people serve as first responders to natural disasters. The community plays a significant role in
minimizing human and property losses. No matter how minor or major a calamity is, the most
that is being implemented on the community level. According to the RA.10121 "The policy also
facilitated opportunities and invitations for participatory bottom-up approaches, but gaps existed
on structured reporting and appraisal of DRRM budget and spending, and bottom-up
Risk Management Framework. This Republic Act would like to regard the community's people
in decision-making, from the community to the National level. The problem and needs of a
community should be the priority. Then the concerns will go to the municipality, then the
province, until the highest authorities, which will help with the planning. That is why a
community must have a plan for its needs inside the community.
There are processes inside the CBDRRM. First, the people of the community should know the
meaning of DRRM. Furthermore, they should be aware of the following hazards that are active
in their areas. In this way, we can plan and ask for assistance from the higher authorities. These
plans will serve as the basis for the assistance that they will give to help a community.
The CBDRRM and NDRRM serve as a basis for plans and programs to deal with disasters.
Where does participation take place here.? The lack of participation results in failure. The thing
is, the country can only go on its own with it is people. The government should not be just the
one moving. All the people should also participate. Someone once said that there is no such thing
as higher and lower when there is a calamity. That we are all equal and wish to be safe and alive.
Even the wealthiest person in the country will still be in danger, and that money will not buy
their life or safety. The only way to be alive is to participate and be compassionate.
Participation plays a vital role in the four thematic areas. First in Thematic Area: Disaster
Prevention and Mitigation. The agencies OCD, DENR, DOF, and DOST work together and
participate in DRR to serve the people's concerns. On the other hand, these agencies can also
perform community workshops and provide them with knowledge about preventing and
mitigating different calamities. Second Thematic Area: Disaster Preparedness. With the help of
PIA, OCD, and lead by DILG. They can also provide symposiums or seminars to increase the
awareness of the community's people. Third Thematic Area: Disaster Response. These are the
agencies that respond during calamity. With the help of DSWD, DRRMC, DND, and DOH
coming to ensure a healthy and safe community. Fourth Thematic Area: Disaster Rehabilitation
and Recovery. The one that helps a community to rise again and recover from the damages. With
the help of NEDA as their lead agency and OCD, NHA, DPWH, DOH, and DSWD, a
community will fatly recover and be back to their lives. It takes more than one person to make
DRR productive and operational. Moreover, with the community, this agency can function.
A lot can be done in participation and engagement with others to help implement the bottoms-
up approach, which focuses on reducing disaster risk. Furthermore, consider the people of the
community part of the planning, making their experiences the basis of planning. Nevertheless,
to be genuinely effective in preserving those in need's lives and livelihoods, risk-reduction
programs must be community-centered and use tools people can easily comprehend to empower
them to make educated decisions. DRR initiatives must recognize and respect cultural norms and
variety, embrace collaborative action and local knowledge, and foster mutual trust and long-term
With all that being said Participatory ensures shared accountability and transparency in DRR
planning and implementation. It also enables decision-makers to inform communities about the
risks they face while simultaneously informing the people of the community about their own
