This after Mayor Kristine Vanessa Chiong led the turnover on Friday, September 18, 2020, of new homes that were built at the relocation site in the neighboring Sitio of Tapon. “Families whose houses were either totally damaged or totally buried in the landslide were prioritized for the city-funded relocation,” said Chiong in a mix of English and Cebuano.
“Some opted not to because they were able to rebuild their own house someplace else using the building assistance, which ranges between P100,000 to P150,000 that we provided them right after the tragedy occurred,” she explained.
