SEN. Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. has proposed intensifying government programs to make the country more climate adaptive and resilient.

Revilla made the proposal in the wake of Typhoon Kristine, which killed over 120 people and caused extensive damage to infrastructure and property.

He suggested integrating climate change mitigation and environmental protection into the school curriculum during his visit to residents affected by flooding in San Pedro and Calamba towns in Laguna.

This would provide young people with adequate knowledge on how to care for the environment and prevent disasters caused by climate change, the senator said.

"Climate change mitigation and environmental protection concepts should be incorporated into the curricula of schools and should be actively practiced both at home and in the community," Revilla said.
