It’s not easy being displaced, but it helps when others are also looking out for you.
“To ensure the safety of the Typhoon Yolanda survivors who are currently staying in the tent city set up at the Villamor Airbase Elementary School, the Pasay City government is imposing a curfew from 10 pm until 5 am,” reports ABS-CBNNews.com. Aside from the curfew, smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages are also prohibited in the area.
The tent city, which currently serves as temporary housing for Yolanda survivors who have fled the provinces of Leyte and Samar, is equipped with folding beds, kitchen and shower areas, as well as portable toilets (portalets) provided by the Pasay city government. Around 80 to 100 families can be accommodated in the setup.
Displaced residents from typhoon-ravaged Visayas are allowed to stay in the tent city until they’re ready to go back to their homes. While they’re in the tent city, the government and some private organizations will feed them. The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) will also conduct skills training for them.
