The inept government of the Philippines cannot stop the contractors from making below par temporay homes, so they will entrust the constructing to the victims themselves. Earlier this month, reports emerged that a local politician was colluding with contractors for 30-35% commission from the bunkhouses being built for Yolanda victims. “There was no overpricing in the building of bunkhouses for Yolanda victims,” Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery Panfilo Lacson said at a briefing in Malacañang, “but it was clear some contractors did not follow governments specifications in building the temporary housing. We will just give construction materials to the people who would rather repair transition shelters. Because if they fix their old homes, in effect those are temporary shelters, since they will be relocated too eventually once the housing units are built in the relocation sites.”
