'''Southern Leyte bans outbound lumber transport'''<br>
'''112K DSWD food packs sent to ‘Odette’ victims in E. Visayas'''<br>
TACLOBAN CITY – The Southern Leyte provincial government has banned the transport of lumber outside the province to expedite rebuilding activities after the devastation by Typhoon Odette last December. Governor Damian Mercado issued an executive order on Monday, prohibiting anyone to transport lumber for use outside Southern Leyte. “The massive volume of fallen trees can be utilized by the local government units of Southern Leyte in making it into lumber to be distributed to families with totally and partially damaged houses so that rebuilding of houses can commence,” Mercado said in his directive.
TACLOBAN CITY – About 112,784 family food packs (FFPs) have been distributed to cities and towns affected by Typhoon Odette in Eastern Visayas in the past three weeks, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) reported on Wednesday. The number of FFPs delivered to local governments represents 106 percent of the projected population of about 106,705 in badly-hit communities, according to the DSWD. “Although we have already covered all the target population, the DSWD will continue to release food packs based on (the) request for augmentation from local governments,” DSWD 8 (Eastern Visayas) information officer Abelardo Bibat said.
