NORTH COTABATO – The town of Makilala in North Cotabato province, one of the worst hit by earthquakes in the past, was able to gather some P60 million in donations -and thanks to its leaders who are working hard to stand up again and return the lives of everybody to normalcy.
The donations are now in a trust fund set up by the local government for the victims of the calamity, among other necessities. And Mayor Armando Quibod said they plan to use the donation to purchase a relocation site where the National Housing Authority could build houses for earthquake victims whose homes were destroyed. But this should be part of the local government’s rehabilitation plan.
“There is a process here and we are following the process to we can finally extend assistance to earthquake victims, especially those who are still in temporary shelters, and other projects,” Quibod said.
He said they are also hurrying up the passage of the annual budget and once this has been approved, part of the funds will be used to acquire an area for the proposed municipal hall, and also for the rehabilitation and repair of the public market and a new integrated terminal.
Because of the damage to structures caused by the series of earthquakes late last year, municipal employees are working in temporary offices. (Rhoderick Beñez)
