Marcos to Yolanda victims: Gov’t to fulfill past admin’s unkept pledges
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration has accepted full responsibility for all unfulfilled commitments regarding the rehabilitation of areas affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda.
Marcos acknowledged that many past pledges for Yolanda rehabilitation remain unredeemed and vowed to ensure that the state's obligations to affected individuals and places will be satisfactorily settled.
Super Typhoon Yolanda, which struck 11 years ago, was one of the deadliest typhoons in history, causing thousands of deaths and displacing millions.
A Rappler investigation from 2023 highlighted that a decade after Yolanda, approximately 15% of the target housing sites for survivors were still incomplete, with many units unoccupied and lacking essential utilities like electricity and water.
