The article assesses the climate change awareness and resilience of farming communities in Northern Negros, Philippines. It employs a descriptive-quantitative approach, guided by the Awareness-to-Action Model and Resilience Theory. From a total population size of 30,653, stratified sampling was used, and 394 respondents were selected to provide the results. Key findings reveal the level of climate change awareness among respondents. Personal experience and family are key sources of this knowledge; however, institutional sources, such as village leaders and NGOs, are a lesser influence. Additionally, traditional knowledge has been essential in adaptation, such as indigenous pest management, drought management through conventional irrigation, and water conservation. In conclusion, traditional knowledge is vital for climate adaptation but is most effective when supported by technology, institutions, and education within a framework of community resilience.
