MOPPIYON KAHI DIID PATOY: Sa Bawat Hagupit ng Pagsubok, Ikaw ay di Nalulugmok Kidapawan City was hit by a series of strong earthquakes in late 2019, causing immense damage to property. Although there were no deaths in Kidapawan, the earthquakes highlighted the importance of unity and community resilience. The lyrics of the Kidapawan hymn gained new meaning during this time, emphasizing the strength and determination of the people in overcoming adversity. One lesson learned from the earthquakes was the decline in the quality of construction, as older buildings withstood the tremors while newer structures crumbled. This sparked an interest in understanding the sturdiness of the older buildings and the cultural significance they hold. Efforts have been made to clean up the rivers in the city, as pollution and water scarcity became evident after the earthquakes. The city government also faced challenges in relocating the Monuvu indigenous community from earthquake-vulnerable areas, which highlighted the need for better communication and understanding between different groups. Disaster preparedness played a crucial role in Kidapawan's ability to have zero deaths during the earthquakes. The City Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office implemented drills and ensured readiness in the months leading up to the earthquakes. Mental health support also emerged as an important aspect to address, as the impacts of the earthquakes took a toll on the well-being of individuals. The strength of Kidapawan lies not only in its physical infrastructure, but also in the intangible aspects such as community spirit and cultural heritage. As the threat of future earthquakes looms, it is important for Kidapawan and its neighboring towns to learn from past experiences and continue to prioritize disaster preparedness, communication, and mental health support. The resilience of the city and its people will remain unshaken as long as the intangible infrastructure remains strong.
