The "Yolanda Pabahay Housing Project" units are located in safer areas away from the dangers of coastal calamities such as storm surge, as happened eight years ago.

The program was presided over by Mayor Alfred Romualdez, former Mayor Cristina Romualdez, and City Councilor Aimee Grafil, Chair of the Committee on Urban Poor, Housing, and Human Resettlement.

Raymund Romualdez, President of the Hiraya Foundation and a candidate for the vice-mayoralty in the 2022 National Elections, was also present.

The 'pabahay' beneficiaries can now live in peace in their housing units without fear of being evicted by the government. —Tacloban News Update (Source: Tacloban-CIO)
