Almost four years ago in August 2012, then Pres, Benigno Aquino signed into law Republic 10174 which created the People's Survival Fund (PSF), a P1 billion per year direct access financing window intended to assist local governments in enabling their climate change adaptation actions.
However, the fund remains untapped by local governments who are largely unaware of its existence.
With the assistance of Royal Patron Shubert Ciencia who is a longtime technical adviser of the Philippine delegation to the United Nations Climate Talks, Model Court took the task of introducing the PSF to climate change-vulnerable local governments in Nueva Ecija.
Free technical services in project development are also offered to interested local governments through the expertise and facilitation of the Royal Patron, and Vice-Mayor Emmanuel Antonio Umali of flood-prone Cabanatuan City was the first local government recipient of the Court's PSF promotion effort.
