MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Dec. 15 (PIA) -- The provincial government here will acquire a piece of land to be used as a relocation site for families who will be displaced by an upcoming widening project of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in the city.
MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Dec. 16 (PIA) –- The Salvacion Oppus Yñiguez Memorial Provincial Hospital (SOYMPH) – Technical Department gathered the officers of the Community Volunteer Health Workers (CVHW) throughout the province,December 15, at the city’s gumnasium here.
There is an ongoing negotiation with the provincial assessor and the owners of the lot, located in barangay Lib-og, this city, for the purpose.
The officer’s day was participated by more or less 200 participants throughout the province, Alma Malazarte, Barangay Health Workers’ coordinator of SOYMPH-Technical Office disclosed. “At least 10 participants were invited in each municipality,” Malazarte said.
Teopisto Rojas, lawyer and chairman of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP)Committee on Education and Social Welfare, said each relocated family can be assigned at least a 300-square meter lot.
The CVHWs had a raffle draw with at least 25-packed grocery items as its prizes. They were also handed P1,000 each.
More than 60 poor families whose houses lie along the edge of the national road in barangays Mantahan and Mambajao this city will be affected as soon as the DPWH starts implementing its drainage canal project next month which was also a way of widening the city’s streets.
“An accidental insurance from the Philippine National Red Cross-Southern Leyte Chapter worth P100 each was committed by Gov. Mercado to be distributed to the BHWs of the province and Maasin City,” Malazarte quoted Gov. Mercado during his inspirational message.
Bidding for this project which cost about P 4.5 million, is expected to be held today, according to District Engineer Carlos Veloso in previous interviews with the Philippine Information Agency (PIA).
Malazarte said that the officers day also tackled updates on the Community Health Teams, treasurer’s report , among other presentations from the different municipalities. Mayor Samaco also delivered his message, while Provincial Health Officer II Dr. Jose Lito Trumata from SOYMPH welcomed the participants. (RGC-PIA SoLeyte)
Rojas said the informal settlers in the city will not be the only ones to benefit from the planned acquisition of lot by the provincial government, saying that those living in a mangrove area in barangay Ichon, Macrohon, will also be considered to be relocated.
Last year, the provincial government also relocated some 15 families living along the fishpond area in barangay San Roque, Macrohon, to a site bought by the province in barangay Upper Villa Jacinta, also in Macrohon town. (BP/PIA-Southern Leyte)
