Evacuees at Cawa Cawa and Grandstand
to move out of the area by end of
month
City Administration Antonio Orendadin
Jrs said there are still at least 4,750 evacuees
left out of the total 23,000 displaced persons at the Joaquin F. Enriquez Memorial Sports Complex.
Orendain Jr. said that the evacuees are
of different categories. Some were already temporarily transferred to the
transitory site at Masepla Barangay Mampang and others to Barangay Sta.
Catalina.
He said that those at Masepla , Mampang will later on be transferred to Mariki where houses on
stils are being built by the government.
Aside, from Mariki the City
Government purchased some 38 hectares of lot along the shores of Mariki
to accommodate the rest of these war victims. The area will meet their livelihood needs and the like.
As this developed, Orendain said
that the government also gave the evacuees some goods worth P30,000 in a form of
materials which they themselves will have to built their houses again and for
those whose house were totally burned at Paniran-Buguk.
The construction of houses of different
types will take about 18 months to
complete and will be financed with money
provided by the national government.
Orendain also said that the
construction at the Transitory sites will continue even though the
evacuees will be transferred to their
respective area later.
What is important, he said, is the
status of the war victims to avoid more deaths from diseases and other
illnesses at the sports complex.
On the other hand the head of
the Temporary Shelter Cluster, Dr. Elmier Apolinario reiterated that the city government will try to remove
the evacuees and war victims from their present sites at the Granstand and the Boulevard
before the month of September.
Aside from the 2,427 familia families
or 12,991 individuals housed at the
grandstand, there are also 560 families of 2,832 individuals at the Boulevard.
The city government is trying its best to
convince these so called internally displaced persons, or evacuees or war
victims to transfer to transitional or temporary sites.
