ABOUT PDRFEstablished in 2010, the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation (PDRF) is the country's major private sector coordinator for disaster resilience. As an alliance of businesses dedicated to building the disaster risk reduction and management capabilities of the private sector in the country, PDRF aims to contribute to the sustainable development and general welfare of the Filipino people.

With a whole-of-society approach, PDRF bridges partnerships not only with other private sector entities, but also with communities and local governments, the public sector, civil society groups, and local and international humanitarian organizations. Furthermore, it embodies a solidarity that transcends business competition to achieve the common vision of a resilient, disaster-ready Philippines.

MESSAGE FROMTHE CO-CHAIRS

Dear Partners,

Ten years ago, the country was reeling from the destruction of Typhoon Ondoy. From tragedy comes wisdom. President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo asked for a public private sector partnership to help rehabilitate Metro Manila after Ondoy’s floods. That’s how PDRF started.

We have come a long way since we conducted our first rescue and relief operations and laid the framework for a comprehensive flood prevention plan for the city. We responded to the challenges of 2013 that included the Zamboanga siege in September, the Bohol earthquake in October and Super Typhoon Yolanda in November that claimed the lives of from 6,000 to 10,000 people and turned into a Level Three UN emergency. We built infrastructure, created sustainable livelihood opportunities, and rebuilt the lives of the people devastated by Yolanda. We continue to assist the community in the wake of the Marawi siege in 2017.

Without a doubt, 2020 was an extremely difficult year for all of us. We were confronted with a series of disasters: the Taal Volcano eruption, the COVID-19 pandemic, and two devastating typhoons. But rather than hampering our ability to help, these crises only reinforced the importance of the private sector in preparing for, responding to and helping in the recovery after calamities. Among the many projects we implemented were:

• Project Ugnayan – raising approximately $32 million and providing meals for 14 million people in the early days of the pandemic;

• Project Kaagapay - providing PPE and ventilators to our frontliners and hospitals; • Project Pag-Asa, Project K3, iADAPT – building the capacity of LGUs and healthcare workers; • Frontline Stays - providing shelter for healthcare workers; • SIKAP - a one-stop digital hub that small businesses can turn to for loans and online mentoring; • T3 (Test, Trace and Treat) Task Force that is assisting the government in everything from

increasing the number of COVID-19 testing sites to the logistics of distributing the vaccine.

In 2016 at the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul, PDRF was one of the founding members of the Connecting Business initiative (CBI), a 13-country business network; largely based on the example of PDRF. We represent the private sector in the United Nations’ Humanitarian Country Team, the main strategic and operational decision-making and oversight body for humanitarian action. PDRF continues to be recognized internationally as a premier organization in private sector engagement for Disaster Risk and Response Management (DRRM).

In 2018, we built the PDRF Emergency Operations Center (EOC), the first private-sector-led national emergency operations center in the world. It enables us to monitor storms, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions anywhere and helps us prepare for and respond to emergencies.

We are extremely grateful to all our partners and stakeholders for your support to PDRF over the years. Most importantly, kudos to the PDRF team for all your hard work and dedication. Because of your efforts, you have transformed the Philippines from a perennial laggard into the global leader in private sector preparedness and response.

Happy anniversary PDRF, and congratulations on all your accomplishments this year—and on the milestones still to come.

MESSAGE FROMTHE CO-CHAIRS

Fortunately, years of training and drills and technology adoption have enabled us to respond by managing some of the biggest programs we have ever handled. High levels of staff commitment and coordination as well as private-public partnerships have been critical success factors. As a result, we’ve been able to roll out large-scale programs in truly innovative ways.

Some of these innovations can be seen in programs like Project Ugnayan which provided grocery gift certificates and food packs for 2.8 million families in Greater Metro Manila. Project Kaagapay provided Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), ventilators, and test kits for hospitals nationwide. PDRF also provided meals, transport shuttle services, accommodations, and training for hospital staff through different partnerships.

PDRF was instrumental in working together with the private sector in organizing Task Force T3 with the government. T3 focused on Test, Trace, and Treat and was responsible for projects to expand coronavirus testing capacity, set up COVID-19 data analytics and dashboards, and establish quarantine centers and the One Hospital Command.

PDRF has also been active in working through T3 on the nation’s vaccine program. A private sector vaccine consortium has worked closely with the government on its vaccine portfolio, logistics, vaccine administration and supply chain management, data, and communications. The private sector has been supportive of efforts to vaccinate the majority of the population.

None of this would have been possible without the commitment, passion, and dedication of the PDRF management, staff, and project teams. Their tireless work under stressful conditions is one of the reasons why PDRF is held in such high regard and looked upon as a model of public-private partnership and corporate leadership in the humanitarian field in the international community. I wish to thank each of the team for their efforts.

I would also like to thank our domestic and international corporate partners and donors for their support throughout this difficult period. At a time when companies are doubling down on efforts to make adjustments to their businesses and ensure the safety of their employees and associates, we are truly grateful for the resources and support you have given the country through PDRF. Your support has enabled PDRF to perform all its vital functions. More importantly, you have given the country a helping hand. When this crisis is over and people have had a chance to reflect on what happened, I am sure many people will realize what an important role the private sector played in this effort.

For this, I am extremely grateful to all of you.

Sincerely yours,

JAIME AUGUSTO ZOBEL DE AYALACo-ChairmanPDRF

Dear Partners,

When we reorganized PDRF after Supertyphoon Haiyan, we focused on disaster preparedness, prevention, and mitigation against four key risks: typhoons, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and pandemics. Six years later, the unthinkable happened. A global pandemic struck us in early 2020 and our world shifted into a two-disaster setting. Typhoons and other natural disasters occurred alongside a continuing pandemic.

COVID-19 has created new degrees of difficulty for all of us. We have never faced nor handled a pandemic of this scale. It has stretched us to our limits – our healthcare frontliners, our hospitals, our laboratories, and our medical supply chains. It has also pushed our people and the economy to the brink and beyond. A rolling economic lockdown set in place since early last year has taken a toll on workers, entrepreneurs, micro-and-small scale businesses, and the informal sector.

As an organization, PDRF has also been stretched and tested. We have had to respond to a volcano eruption, a pandemic, and strong typhoons throughout the year. And we’ve had to do most of that remotely, working offsite and over digital platforms, with movement and interaction restricted by a coronavirus while still moving relief goods and supplies throughout the country.

Dear PDRF Members, I can vividly recall when Typhoon Ondoy swept through Manila and flooded its streets in September 2009. The country had no Doppler radars then so there were few warnings about the deluge of water that was to engulf the city. Many died in their cars when roads turned into rivers. That event gave birth to PDRF. Over the years, PDRF has evolved to deal with multifaceted challenges in one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. We built the world’s first ever national private sector-run Emergency Operations Center in Clark. We helped establish the Connecting Business Initiative, a UN-backed 13-country global network of private sector groups. We persevered and aided communities through the destruction of Super Typhoon Yolanda, numerous other typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and the sieges of Zamboanga and Marawi. Today, we are assisting the government with its efforts to battle COVID-19. Each time we act, we demonstrate to the country and the world that the private sector has a role to play in preparing for, responding to and helping recover from disasters. Where we lead, others follow. The reality of our country today is that government alone cannot be accountable for everything. That's why PDRF exists in the first place. The pandemic has underscored the importance of the private sector in addressing national and local needs. I realize that for many of us, there may be a sense of exhaustion, even futility, in the unceasing requirements brought on by our times. I can only hope that by working together with both national and local governments, UN agencies, and civil society, we can someday achieve a semblance of normality and safety in our professional and personal lives. Thank you for your support over the years. Sincerely,

RENE S. MEILYPresident

Message from theChief Resilience Officer MESSAGE

FROM THECHIEFRESILIENCEOFFICER

Dear PDRF Partners,

These last two years have been like none we’ve ever experienced nor seen. We started the Year 2020 with a volcano eruption, experienced multiple typhoons and minor earthquakes, and entered a pandemic which we are still working our way out of in the Year 2021. PDRF has now had to activate and operate through all the four major natural disasters we are designed for—typhoons, earthquakes, volcanoes, and pandemics.

When we reorganized to focus on resilience, many wondered how that could be operationalized and measured. Experience now tells us that if ever there was a time to invest in resilience, that time is now. Preparedness and prevention measures have enabled us to minimize loss of life and damage and respond quickly to disasters.

However, if there was one emergency we did not fully anticipate, it was the severity of a pandemic like COVID-19. While we had imagined outbreaks of other diseases like measles and dengue, we were not quite ready for a pandemic of national and global proportions. Fortunately, our network of private sector partners, multilateral institutions, and the government enabled us to form new networks for public health crises to mobilize resources and expertise.

One such network was Task Force T3 (for Test, Trace, and Treat), organized in April 2020 in the middle of an Enhanced Community Quarantine. T3 combined expertise from the National Task Force Against COVID-19, Department of Health (DOH), Asian Development Bank, McKinsey, and the private sector to solve some early problems identified by the government—lack of PCR testing capacity and the short supply of PPE. We harnessed resources to donate equipment to government labs, built private sector labs, and smoothen out the regulatory approval process. From 4,500 tests a day of its first week of operation, the country’s testing capacity is now over 100,000 a day. Similar gains were made in the PPE supply. T3 was also asked to look for solutions to other challenges, including supply chain management for laboratory test supplies, PCR testing kits, pooled testing, serosurveillance, One Hospital Command, and healthcare worker recruitment. T3 then expanded its work into vaccines, providing early research and advise to the government’s Vaccine Cluster through a small task force composed of Ayala Health, Zuellig, Unilab, BCG (Boston Consulting Group), PDRF, Jollibee, and McDonald’s. Leveraging on our resources and contacts, this task force worked with government agencies and local government units on the vaccination portfolio, supply chain management, vaccine rollout, and communications campaign.

This is just an example of our long-term investment in resilience. We are convinced that this pandemic will eventually become endemic and be a part of our lives in the future. But we must not discount the possibility of a future pandemic. We must invest and build stronger public health institutions and expand facilities that can provide rapid testing, better surveillance and contact tracing, protective gear, and perhaps even a capacity to manufacture and store our own vaccines. We learned a lot from this episode—this pandemic. We must reflect on all our lessons and insights and see how we can handle such an emergency in the future. After all, this is what PDRF is all about—resilience, prevention, preparedness, mitigation, and response.

I thank all our partners and donors who have made this possible and enabled us to rise to these challenges to create a stronger, more resilient Philippines. I also thank all our staff who have tirelessly worked under the most unusual and stressful conditions to make things happen. Without them, our vision would remain a dream and not the reality that we see and deliver on the ground. Sincerely yours,

Dear PDRF Members and Partners,

The global pandemic defined 2020 and it will be forever remembered as the year that ushered in a new normal. The world became smaller as the virus spread globally and confined everyone to the four corners of our homes. While the pandemic may have caught us off guard, the years of training and preparing for emergencies helped us navigate through the new normal and operate despite the pervasiveness of the virus and the constant restrictions. PDRF is a testament that challenges breed innovation. We were able to update and improve our protocols, adapt to the ever-changing times, and collaborate with the authorities tasked to mitigate the effects of the pandemic.

I am pleased to present to our dear readers, partners, and stakeholders the PDRF 2020 Annual Report, which showcases the work and achievements of the Foundation in this trying time. We responded to multiple disasters, conducted capacity-building activities for our team and external partners, and developed innovative solutions for the new normal. All of these we were able to accomplish through our continuity strategies: (1) Employee safety and well-being, (2) Innovation, (3) Information, and (4) Streamlining of processes. We want to thank our member companies, partners, and donors for your continued support and trust. Our Operations Center constantly monitors climate conditions, alerts all stakeholders to impending hazards, and helps build the network’s preparedness and response capabilities. And through your support, we were able to carry out our role for the private sector, working with the government’s Task Force T3 in its fight against COVID-19. This year, we received grants from New Zealand Aid, Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, GHD, International Organization for Migration, and Telescoop PLDT Employees Multi-purpose Cooperative. These will be of great help in our mission of providing sustainable, impactful, and innovative programs for our stakeholders. Our multi-sectoral collaboration with the government, UN agencies, civil societies, academe, and business associations remains an essential pillar in PDRF in establishing and operationalizing private sector engagement in disaster risk reduction management and climate change adaptation. We also continue to expand our global partnerships through various platforms such as UN’s Connecting Business Initiative (CBI), Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC), and ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Management (AHA Centre), among others. Lastly, I would like to commend the resilience and teamwork of the PDRF Team. Their dedication, hard work, and creativity carried us through these trying times to uphold our mission. Although we have been accustomed to responding to emergencies, it becomes a different ball game when we, too, are affected. The team’s efforts to ensure physical and mental well-being have been crucial to working in the most challenging circumstances. The fight against the COVID-19 pandemic continues, but we remain steadfast in our commitment to building the disaster resilience of Filipino communities and businesses.

Sincerely,

Project K3

Project K3 is an initiative of PDRF and New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Aid Programme that aims to strengthen the health care capacities of LGUs, health care institutions, and local communities across the country to address COVID-19 immediate and future needs. The project’s three main targets are (1) Training 10,000 local healthcare system stakeholders; (2) Distributing 5,000 sets of PPE to selected healthcare facilities; and (3) Facilitating risk communications and community education through the distribution of 10,000 localized information, education, communication materials.

Project Pag-Asa

To help scale up medical response efforts in the Philippines and build the pandemic response expertise of Filipino healthcare workers, PDRF—together with the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Studies (Watson Institute, Brown University) and international relief organization Project HOPE—held a COVID-19 Training of Trainers (TOT) Program for Philippine Health Workers via online.

The TOT covered topics such as infection prevention and control, contact tracing, and risk communication and public health messaging, which cover areas that are highly essential in helping the country contain the spread of the pandemic. Aside from building the pandemic response capabilities of the participants, the program also sought to quickly build a cadre of competent instructors who can teach other health workers in localities and communities.

In September, OCD-CBTS and PDRF launched the PSCP Guidebook, the country’s first-ever handbook on continuity planning for the public sector. The guidebook serves as a standard reference document for government offices and LGUs, providing a step-by-step guide on developing public service continuity plans that are essential to ensuring that key government services and functions continue before, during, and after disasters.

Since 2017, PDRF has been an active partner of OCD in the formulation and updating of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council's (NDRRMC) continuity plans. Through PDRF’s technical assistance, a standard PSCP format was developed for all government agencies in 2018. That same year, NDRRMC issued the NDRRMC Memorandum No. 33 s. 2018, enjoining all government member agencies of the DRRM councils at all levels and other government departments, offices, bureaus, services, units, and instrumentalities to develop their own PSCP.

PSCP Mentorship program

With the release of the PSCP Guidebook in September, PDRF, in partnership with the OCD and the support of USAID Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) and New Zealand Aid, conducted a mentorship program in October to help government partners in the completion of its public service continuity plan and implementation of its public service continuity management system.

The program, which produced 3 batches of trainees in 2020, aimed to provide an understanding of the overall PSCP process through appreciation of its individual sections and aid in the development and implementation of public service continuity plan that is suitable for the organization.
