City gov’t, Army engineering brigade to build 50 houses for Zambo siege victims

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 27): City gov’t, Army engineering brigade to build 50 houses for Zambo siege victims

The city government has allocated Php 3 million to construct 50 single-detach temporary shelters for families displaced in the 21-day September 2013 siege.

City Social Welfare and Development Officer Ma. Socorro Rojas told the Philippines News Agency that the temporary shelters will be constructed in Sitio Lupa-Lupa, Barangay Rio Hondo.

Rojas said the houses would be constructed in March by the 2nd Army Engineering Brigade. The houses can accommodate 50 families.

She said the construction would start once a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed by the city government and the engineering brigade.

She said those who would be given the priority to occupy the houses, once completed, were from the vulnerable sector such as the senior citizen, person with disability and pregnant women.

The beneficiaries are among the thousands of people displaced in the 21-day September 2013 siege.

The city government still maintains 12 transitory sites as construction of permanent shelters continue through the Zamboanga City Roadmap to Recovery and Reconstruction (Z3R) project.
