Marcos taps modular shelter units for Davao Oriental quake victims
The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) is preparing to send 150 modular shelter units to Davao Oriental for residents displaced by recent earthquakes.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ordered the deployment of these shelters during a situation briefing in Tarragona, Davao Oriental, opting for modular units over tent cities for greater comfort and durability.
The DHSUD has committed to beginning the assembly of these units on Friday, with the goal of having them occupied by displaced residents by Monday next week.
These modular shelters will be established within "Bayanihan Villages" as temporary accommodations, a concept ordered by President Marcos Jr. to expedite aid to earthquake victims.
