Bill facilitates reconstitution of disaster-damaged papers
updated by Saudi Ali 27.10.2009
A SENATE bill has been filed that seeks to establish a one-stop action office to assist victims of typhoons and floods in the reconstitution of official documents damaged by natural disasters. Under Senate Bill 3500 filed by Senator Manuel B. Villar, Jr., the center will be under the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) that would facilitate the identification of affected communities.
Within 90 days from the approval of the measure, the DILG and the National Disaster Coordinating Council will promulgate the rules and regulations to implement the proposal.
Tropical storm Ondoy (international name: Ketsana) and typhoon Pepeng (international name: Parma) left many documents in Metro Manila and several provinces destroyed or damaged, especially those in banks and government offices, due to the flood. — Saudi Ali
