Typhoon Frank remains top story of 2008
THE multi-billion peso worth of devastation caused by Typhoon Frank last June 21-22, 2008 and its aftermath, including government’s rehabilitation efforts, remain the top story in Iloilo province for 2008.
Other year-ender stories were about efforts to rehabilitate Panay Island provinces, prop up the local economy, and resuscitate the business climate reeling from the effects of the super typhoon that hit the island and the rest of Western Visayas.
On the other hand, despite the crisis caused by the global economic meltdown, Iloilo appears to be sustaining its development in 2009.
Iloilo Mayor Jerry P. Treñas and Governor Niel D. Tupas Sr. agree that the interests of the city and province should come first before political skirmishes. The two are at the forefront of rehabilitation efforts.
