Iloilo City intensifies relief effort; puts up trust account and website

In response to the widespread devastation of Typhoon Frank in Iloilo City, the local government has established a website to help spread information about the calamity. Dubbed as “Bangon Iloilo” (http://www.bangoniloilo.com), the website contains updates and news, stories, pictures, and other resources about Typhoon Frank and its aftermath.

Here’s a quote from the website on what “Bangon Iloilo” is about:

“Bangon Iloilo is a comprehensive program designed to help the flood victims recover in terms of housing, access to basic services such as water, health and education, and livelihood and income. The program also desires to optimize rehabilitation efforts to help victims improve their livelihood and realize incomes closer to if not above the poverty threshold level on a sustained basis.

Its goal is the economic and environmental rehabilitation of the at least 241 affected barangays in Iloilo City and Metro Iloilo local governments of Leganes, Oton, Pavia, San Miguel and Santa Barbara through livelihood activities that support the restoration of the environment.

Bangon Iloilo is a social investment promotion campaign to support the rehabilitation efforts of the Metro Iloilo local governments to be managed by the Metro Iloilo-Guimaras Economic Development Council (MIGEDC) and the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) under its Urban Partnership Program funded by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).”

    I just read the paper that 1million donations for Typhoon Frank victims has been missing. Kon indi ako mag-sala nadeposit inang 1 million sa account sang “IBAN” dira sa ibawbaw. That’s what I am thinking about a week ago nga may “milagro” nga matabo. Kon ako imo nga pamangkuton indi ako mag donate pa-agi sa account nga gun post nila diri sa internet. Mas preferable ako nga ipa-agi sa simbahan katoliko sa ciudad kag banwa sang ILOILO. Just saying. Please no offense. Thank You : )
