The DSWD is looking at old isolation facilities as possible housing for homeless people now living in the street. | MAgerINQ
“We’ve realized that unfortunately, a lot of our kababayans are now living in street situation so we wanna make sure that we move them in our care facilities. But given the limited structures namin kasi we only have 76, we’re also working with other government agencies about using the old isolation facilities,” he said when he faced his confirmation hearing in the Senate on Tuesday.
Gatchalian assured that the government has an existing program to ensure that there are economic opportunities for those who are returning to the province. “So what are the alternatives for a person like me who can’t stand those homeless people specially they are staying in our historical sites which are for tourists and they are living there and making their livelihood there. So what will we do?” Villar asked.
