P-Noy to revisit Bohol on Monday

Posted on February 23, 2014

TAGBILARAN CITY, Feb. 23 (PNA) — President Benigno S. Aquino III is slated to visit Loon town, about 25 kms from here, on Monday (February 24) to inspect and see for himself the progress of rehabilitation efforts in Bohol province.

He is slated to conduct an ocular inspection of the bunkhouses and Loon hospital right after his arrival at the city airport at past one in the afternoon.Bunkhouses with comfort rooms, dirty kitchens and faucets, which are not completed yet, are funded by the government for the benefit of 100 internally-displaced families in Loon town in the aftermath of Oct. 15 earthquake.

During his first visit this year in Bohol, he is expected to meet with local officials led by Mayor Lloyd Lopez and provincial officials led by Gov. Edgar Chatto and preside over the multi-sectoral dialogue at the hospital grounds.

After the huddle here, the president is expected to fly back to Manila in the afternoon.

The provincial government led by Gov. Edgar Chatto, Dept. of Social Welfare & Development (DSWD) and Habitat for Humanity Foundation represented by Charlie Ayco, as executive director, recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to construct some 8,083 houses for thousands of quake victims who still remain in make-shift tents as their temporary shelters since day one after the tremor.

DSWD Sec. Dinky Soliman has recently turned over the check amounting to PhP317.5 million to the Habitat during a program in Sagbayan town, one of the recipients of the fund for rebuilding victims’ houses.

His upcoming visit is the fourth after the earthquake. The first when he breezed into town within that week after the quake. The second was when he slept in Loon town to show solidarity with the Boholanos and the third when he inaugurated Abatan bridge on Nov. 23, 2013. The said bridge is one of the four that had collapsed due to the earthquake. The others are in Moalong, Loon; Tultugan, Calape; and Tagbuane, Alburquerque, all in Bohol. (PNA)
