Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada has proposed the creation of a nationwide network of food banks and stockpiles, aimed at expediting the delivery of relief goods during crises and natural disasters.
To speed up the delivery of relief goods and supplies during disasters and crises, Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada proposed the creation of a nationwide network of food banks and stockpiles for non-perishable food, potable water, medicines, and essential supplies for immediate deployment to affected areas.
Disaster preparedness must ensure readiness, even during normal times, in a disaster-prone country such as the Philippines, where accessibility issues often delay relief delivery. Estrada’s Senate Bill No. 2860, known as the proposed Disaster Food Bank and Stockpile Act, aims to establish central repositories and supply reserves for food, water, critical medical supplies, and other essential goods, including portable power sources, light sources, first aid kits, clothing, tents, and communication devices. These facilities will be located in every province and highly urbanized city across the country to provide basic and supplementary support during disaster response and recovery operations. The proposed Act mandates a two-year shelf life for supplies and sufficient quantities for all constituents for a minimum of three weeks post-disaster. Priority will be given to island municipalities, hard-to-reach areas, and 4th to 5th class municipalities
