Materials of Homeless Sendong Victims Arrived

The 722 houses donated by the Japanese Government for the typhoon Sendong victims will soon be built since the first batch of the materials were recently delivered to the city.

Ramon Fernandez, chairman of the Shelter and Housing Development Multi-Sectoral Task Force of Cagayan de Oro City, says that there are already 19 containers for the first batch of materials on hand.

There are a total of 50 containers of materials that will be sent in order to build the 722 houses.

The project will be realized upon the approval of the City Council on the land purchase of the local government where the houses will be built.

Currently, the materials are temporarily stored in a vacant area of the Boys Town in Barangay Lumbia.(ALR-CIO/PIA10)
