Vice President Jejomar Binay said Thursday that 80 to 85 percent of
the province of Capiz have been damaged by super typhoon Yolanda.
The vice president was able to talk to Capiz Governor Vic Tanco
Thursday when he visited the province to assess the damage wrought by
the powerful storm and determine the needs of the affected residents.
Binay said that compared to Iloilo province which he also visited, Capiz suffered more damage.
“Kanina nandoon ho kami hanggang sa Passi, nag-ikot ikot ho kami
sa Iloilo. Pero, mas grabe ho dito. Kada bayan namin na dinaanan, I understand mga 80-85 percent dito sa Capiz nasira
[A while ago, we were in Passi, we roamed around Iloilo. But, (the
damage) here is worse. Every town that we passed by, I understand why
80-85 percent in Capiz have been damaged],” Binay said in an interview
in Roxas City.
Debris and fallen electric posts marred roads while many houses were heavily damaged, he shared.
Binay also went around Dumarao, Cuartero, Dao and Roxas City in Capiz.
In Iloilo, he visited Zarraga, Barotac Nuevo, Pototan, Banate, Estancia, Concepcion and Passi City.
As housing czar, Binay assured officials that the national government
will help survivors of the super typhoon rebuild their homes or
resettle to safer locations.
