Sendong Victims

Manila Philippines - TO verify reviews that 7,000 Noche Buena packs did not reach victims of Sendong in Iligan City in time for your conventional Christmas Eve dinner, I interviewed Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman over my morning radio plan in DWIZ 882AM each day following Xmas. Based on Sec. Soliman, the initial request from Iligan was for 9,000 Noche Buena packs which was delivered from their workplace in Area 10 on Friday, a day prior to Christmas Eve. It had been also the day they received a request for an additional 7,000 packs. Because the Noche Buena packs which consisted of canned fruit cocktail, spaghetti, luncheon meat or chicken and cheese had to be repacked and transported, providing them in much less than 24 hrs is understandably, a tall order. Sec. Soliman defined that though they didn't attain the victims on Christmas Eve, they were delivered on Christmas Day by itself. Ordinary food packages were sent rather to the victims, Sec. Soliman stated. Based on Sec. Soliman, the number of impacted families has climbed to 16,080 as of Monday morning owing towards the fact that formerly hardto-reach barangays have lately been accessed.

Following the tragedy arrives the tiresome procedure of rebuilding the lives from the victims. Construction of bunk houses will start in early January that will briefly home the victims. While they are becoming produced, plans to transfer them to tents within the grounds from the evacuation centers will also be becoming produced to make way for the opening of courses subsequent Tuesday. I suggested the concept of utilizing empty container vans as feasible makeshift houses for your victims and Sec. Soliman promised to explore this chance.

Last Friday, Cagayan De Oro Mayor Vicente Emano requested that I help clarify how the P50 million in aid towards the victims for rebuilding their houses will probably be correctly handled. When i asked Sec. Soliman, she said that discussions to make use of the funds to purchase house building materials which will be distributed towards the victims have taken location. A complete of 5,801 homes that had been totally damaged by the floods will probably be rebuilt and each from the families will be given P70,000 really worth of creating supplies. The proposed relocation website was surveyed by DENR and upon their clearance, website development will start to pave way for your building of the new houses through which the Sendong victims can rebuild their lives.
