Rappler launches Liveable Cities Desk to cover local governance

Rappler has launched a Liveable Cities Desk to broaden its coverage on liveability and local governance in the Philippines, connecting environmental issues with daily life.

The new desk was inspired by a roadshow in Zamboanga City where residents identified flooding and solid waste management as their primary concerns.

The initiative aims to address systemic failures and government unpreparedness that exacerbate the impact of natural occurrences like floods.

In conjunction with the desk's launch, Rappler released a video titled 'Era de maga Zamboangueño' (Hopes of Zamboangueños), featuring citizens' wishes for their city.

This video serves as an avenue for residents to share their ideas on improving Zamboanga City's liveability and fostering thriving livelihoods.
