Now if you’re unfamiliar, the term “Filipino Resiliency” means that Filipinos, especially the victims of these natural disasters, can overcome any hardship and are idolized for doing so. It implies that the victims don’t need any outside help when they have “resiliency” on their side, but this comes at the expense of their trauma. Glorification and romanticization of this term do not alleviate or reward the harsh realities that victims face daily.
