ZAMBOANGA CITY - In response to the pressing need of the
internally displaced persons (IDPs) for accurate and timely information
regarding recovery and rehabilitation initiatives, the City Government of
Zamboanga provided some 300 IDPs and
camp leaders updates on the ongoing rehabilitation plan for Zamboanga City.
The information
caravan conducted March 6 at the Joaquin Enriquez Memorial Sports Complex
included brief discussions regarding shelter, livelihood, social and health
services, as well as the status of the Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and
Rehabilitation (Z3R) plan.
The IDPs actively participated in the open forum in which
they aired their concerns and queries.
Sheila Covarrubias, City Information Officer said the
information caravan conducted yesterday was the first out of a series of
planned caravans set for the different evacuation centers and transitory sites.
Present during the caravan were the representatives from the
City Government, the National Housing Authority (NHA), the Department of Public
Works and Highways (DPWH), and the Department of Social Welfare and Development
(DSWD), providing some updates on the ongoing rehabilitation plan for Zamboanga
City.
