Amidst left and right
criticism from different groups President Duterte's administration shocked and
awed many citizens in an announcement that the 1st Mega Rehab Center will be
opened on Saturday which has a capacity of 10,000 beds which was built inside a
military camp in Nueva Ecija northern Luzon.
The shock and awe came
from that these mega project was built in just 100 days of the Presidents
office which started last June 30, 2016. The facility will start
operation on November 2016 and Drug surrenders will be housed and treated
inside the facility where they will be asked to help beautify and improve the
place. Their Family will be allowed to visit them inside the rehab center.
Similar mega rehab
centers will be built in other regions in response to the Presidents commitment
for the filipino people.

Some Netizens decry
what happened to Yolanda Victims Housing under PNoy and administered by Mar
Roxas! Why Duterte can produce a mega rehab in 3 months and PNoy and Roxas
produced Nipa huts in 1 year?

"MANILA, Philippines - Faced with public
frustration over the progress of rebuilding areas ravaged a year ago today by
Super Typhoon Yolanda, President Aquino said yesterday the government is doing
its best to speed up the process and make sure everything is done right.
“Sige, murahin niyo na ako, batikusin niyo na
ako, pero palagay ko ang gawain natin ay dapat tama (OK, curse me, criticize
me, but I believe our job should be done properly),” he told the crowd in
Barangay Cogon in Guiuan, Eastern Samar, the area that he decided to visit
instead of Tacloban City in Leyte, whose mayor belongs to the opposition and is
a relative of former first lady Imelda Marcos.
Tacloban suffered the highest casualty and
heavy destruction last year when Yolanda (international name Haiyan) pounded
Eastern Visayas.
Aquino said his conscience is clear, in
response to criticism that even rehabilitation efforts were fraught with
corruption and politicking.
He stood pat against proposals for the
government to hand out P40,000 cash to each family displaced by the strongest
typhoon to make landfall in recorded history.
Aquino said the proposal would be cheaper to
implement as the government would only have to allocate P58.8 billion for the
1.47 million affected families – as against the P85.5 billion needed to
complete infrastructure and other permanent housing projects in the affected
areas.

The amount is apart from the total P167.8
billion needed for the rehabilitation of all the affected provinces and
municipalities identified in the Yolanda master plan. Only P51.9 billion of the
amount has so far been released.
He said what the government intends to do is
to “build back better” to make sure that every house and structure withstands
another super typhoon.
“Para naman sa mga walang sawang binabatikos
sa ating bawa’t kilos, ipagpapasa-Diyos ko na lang sila. Baka naman po dumating
ang araw pagkalooban sila ng dagdag na kaalaman at kabutihang loob ng Puong
Maykapal na sila naman ay tumino (To those who don’t tire of criticizing our
every move, God will take care of you. Who knows God Almighty might give them
wisdom and good heart so they will straighten up),” Aquino stressed." -
