Some typhoon victims in Bogo City will soon have new houses and a livelihood.
Bogo City Mayor Celestino Martinez Jr. said there are 15 to 20 beneficiaries of free housing in the Yolanda Village in barangay La Paz who will be awarded on Jan. 15.
He said 500 more houses will be built in the city’s barangays to be paid for by private donors.
Also on Jan. 15, five families in each barangay will receive two piglets. Martinez said there are 500 groups who pledged to help the city. The city is now starting to recover from the devastation caused by supertyphoon Yolanda that hit northern Cebu and the rest of the Visayas islands last Nov. 8.
He said 85 percent of the electricity in the city has been restored by the Cebu Electric Co. (Cebeco).
