People are camping in public plazas, sports arenas and by the side of the national highway. A few bags of cement to repair kitchens and toilets, a few sheets of GI roofing for cover, wood panels and nails to erect some privacy and protection, a coat of paint for color and dignity, a faucet and pipes to restore water ..these do not cost more than a few thousand pesos per household but will go a very long way in getting people back on their feet.
