SENATOR Ramon Bong Revilla Jr. reiterated his call for climate change mitigation and environmental protection to be integrated into school curricula.

“Climate change mitigation and environmental protection concepts should be incorporated into the school curriculum and actively practiced at home and in the community,” Revilla stated.

This statement comes after Typhoon Kristine caused over 120 deaths and extensive damage. During a visit to flood-affected residents in San Pedro and Calamba, Laguna, Revilla proposed that schools teach students how to care for the environment to help prevent climate-related disasters.

Revilla also provided aid to those affected by the typhoon, including individuals who lost homes, property, and loved ones. “Mayroong mga nawalan ng tirahan, may mga nalimas ang kagamitan dahil sa baha, may pumutok na poste ng koryente, at ‘yung iba ay nawalan pa ng mahal sa buhay,” he added.
