Dear Team:

This is to inform you that I, Marcelo M. Pedalino, Filipino, a government employee connected

with Philippine Information Agency, will support the stated goals, visions, and missions of the

convening partners forming this Global Resilience Partnership.

I am aware of the challenge facing the vulnerable communities around the world right now,

especially in relation to climate change, its effects and impact. But with a concerted effort I

believe we can discover, invent, or develop solutions to these situations.

Count me in as one with you in this noble endeavor, to foster stronger partnership with like-

I have read and fully agree to this Letter of Commitment and look forward to assisting the
