“It cost P700,000 to transport MMDA heavy equipment and personnel from Metro Manila to Kalibo, Aklan,” declared Mr. Aldo Mayor, team leader of the MMDA Mercy Mission and contingent that are now clearing Kalibo of thousands and thousands cubic meters of mud typhoon Frank brought to Kalibo. Mr. Aldo Mayor said this when Kapehan Sa Aklan resumed its Saturday tri-media program. According to Mr. Mayor, MMDA will spend another P700,000 when the same heavy equipment and personnel will return to Metro Manila. To do its job in Kalibo, P30,000 is also spent daily.
Mr. Aldo Mayor and his MMDA Mercy Mission arrived in Kalibo on June 25 after a journey from Metro Manila. They immediately made camp and buckled down to work, clearing roads of mud and debris typhoon Frank brought.
Usually, in Mercy Mission they engage such as in Kalibo, they are allowed to remain in such place in 10 days only and then back to Metro Manila. However, in Kalibo, MMDA chairman Bayani Fernando has instructed them to stay beyond 10 days until the job is finished.
