BRP Bacolod City to transport another set of Tacloban evacuees
The Philippine Navy (PN) on Sunday announced that the BRP
Bacolod City
(LC-550), which is now unloading relief supplies in Tacloban
City, will transport
"Yolanda" evacuees to Cebu once her
relief mission is over.
Unloading operations as of this posting is 60 percent done.
Lt. Cmdr. Gregory Fabic, Navy spokesperson, declined to comment on the exact
figure but said they will ferry as many people as they can.
"That's her next mission, to ferry evacuees from Tacloban to
Cebu. As long as the ship can accommodate them, the
BRP Bacolod
City will do her best to
help them," he added.
Earlier, BRP Bacolod
City's sister-ship, the BRP Dagupan City (LC-551), carried 2,493 evacuees to Cebu City
where they will be sheltered in government-operated evacuation centers.
