“There is a blueprint for this kind of emergency. We just need to dust it off and brush it up, so it will be attuned to the unique characteristics of the 2023 version of El Niño,” Recto said. “Scarcity in water leads to scarcity in food. This is not an alarmist statement. It is a fact, because without water, you cannot grow food,” he added.
It also negatively impacts livestock and poultry as high temperatures can cause heat stress on animals, Recto warned. To address the 2015-2016 El Niño episode, the Aquino administration crafted RAIN, which focused on ensuring food security, health, energy security, safety in 67 affected provinces and Metro Manila.
