We are happy to share this commitment with private sector partners, such as the One Meralco Foundation, because inclusive disaster preparedness, response, and recovery is best achieved when all stakeholders are all hands-on deck,” World Bank Senior Disaster Risk Management Specialist Lesley Y. Cordero said.
