Local officials in Zamboanga City said it will take two years for the full recovery of Zamboanga City after the 2013 siege.
There are still over 1,000 unfinished housing for the victims. Local officials said there was difficulty in getting land which delayed construction.
According to Rodrigo Pagotaisidro, Officer-in-charge, Housing and Land Management Division, full recovery in Zamboanga city would take two more years.
“In the next two years it has to be completed not only the housing construction but also the power, water, the sewer, and the footbridges,” he said.
Among the unfinished projects under the Zamboanga City Road Map include the reconstruction and recovery of the bridge in Barangay Rio Hondo.
“All wooden footbridges needing immediate repair has been recommended for repair or rehabilitation by converting to more permanent and concrete footbridges,” Pagotaisidro adds.
Based on the data of the city government there are 6,341 fully constructed housing, 5,112 were already turned over to the beneficiaries while 1,229 are still under construction.—(with reports from Dante Amento)
