ILIGAN CITY, Lanao del Norte, Jan. 26 (PIA) -- Donation of P500 million for Sendong victims in Iligan by San Miguel Corp. (SMC) provided one of the highlights in what could be described as a very successful public-private-partnership (PPP) enterprise at the “Bayanihan†Village in Sta. Elena, this city, yesterday, Jan. 25.
Witnessed by President Benigno s. Aquino III, a symbolic cheque bearing the amount intended for the construction of 2,500 Gawad Kalinga (GK) houses in the area was received by Vice-President Jejomar C. Binay from Ramon Ang of SMC.
This would be on top of the 1,700 GK houses that the National Housing Authority (NHA) will build in the area, which the President Aquino has asked the NHA General Manager Chito Cruz, to finish by June, this year.
About 2,000 volunteers from all sectors of society, particularly, students, teachers, civil society organizations, local government unit employees and barangay officials came in answer to the call of Mayor Lawrence Ll. Cruz to honor the dead victims of Sendong by helping clean the city and fast tracking the construction of the permanent homes of survivors.
