Lacson: I won't let political squabbling affect Yolanda rehab
  • 5 years ago
Presidential Assistant on Rehabilitation and Recovery Ping Lacson vows he will not let political squabbling get in the way of efforts to rebuild communities hit by super typhoon "Yolanda." In his keynote speech at the Experts' Forum on Rebuilding Communities and Ecosystems After "Yolanda" at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) on Thursday, Lacson said the massive task of rebuilding areas devastated by the typhoon requires joint effort and commitment by both government and the private sector. He said a multi-donor fund has been put up to fast-track rehabilitation efforts, and they are in the process of setting up a map-based website to make sure the funds are well spent.
