All residents in no-build zone prioritized for relocation

The Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office-Davao de Oro clarified claims that non-victims of the Masara landslide were prioritized in providing a relocation site.Edward Macapili, PDDRMO executive assistant on Information and Communications, explained that even though only Zone 1 was affected by the landslide, people from Zone 2 and other adjacent areas belonging to the no-build zone were also prioritized.

Dako na kaayo na nga tulubagon,” Macapili said in an interview with dxDC RMN Davao earlier this week..Thousands of families affected by the landslide in the barangay have since relocated to different evacuation centers, such as the G-Works Kampo Uno site near the Immaculate Conception Quasi-Parish in Barangay Elizalde.To recall, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau has declared Masara a “No Build Zone” since 2008, but the area was still inhabited.
