Rep. Alfred Vargas (5th District, Quezon City) on Monday said the creation of the Disaster Resiliency and Alertness Management (DReAM) Department under House Bill No. 2001 will take care of all disaster-resilience related matters including before, during, and after disasters. It will be headed by a Cabinet Secretary who will be backed and assisted by Undersecretaries. Speaking during a press conference at the House of Representatives, Vargas said there is also need for a department like DReAM to be able to handle and manage international grants, international funds, international donations with accountability and transparency, and quickness. /Caption by Ma.
