Here’s one good idea from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
“The MMDA is asking billboard operators and outdoor advertising agencies to donate their used tarpaulins to typhoon-ravaged communities in Leyte and Samar so they could be used to build improvised shelters for thousands of families displaced Typhoon Yolanda,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
In the aftermath of Typhoon Pablo last year, the MMDA sent a truckload of confiscated tarpaulins to New Bataan, Compostela Valley and Cateel, Davao Oriental. These were the resettlement sites of the people displaced by the typhoon.
For their post-Yolanda efforts, the MMDA has started to collect all billboard materials and tarpaulins it has confiscated at the height of its Baklas Billboard operations.
