TACLOBAN CITY, Dec. 15 (PIA)  - On its second day of redeployment here, the Philippine Information Agency's (PIA) Team One Mindanao composed of Regions 9 and 13 (Caraga) conducted an ocular inspection in the major thoroughfares of the city to generate inputs and strategies to the changes in the situation on the ground.

PIA Region 9 regional director Noemi Edaga and the rest of the team who were able to visit the city for the first time saw the extent of the damages brought about by Typhoon Yolanda.

The team observed that until this time, residents still continue to clean scattered garbages and debris on the streets and outside their houses.

Further, the team witnessed the children along with some adults playing outside their temporary shelter/tents. Some were also scorching under the heat of the sun selling vegetables and other food items, as they continue to survive and cope with life. The team was touched by the optimisim showed by the Taclobanons.

“These people here are so optimistic and courageous that despite the devastation they can still afford to smile, inspire others never to lose hope and continue to live for the love of their family,” expressed Edaga.

Also, while Region 9 crew was conducting the ocular inspection, the rest of the Caraga crew led by One Mindanao Team Leader and Caraga regional director Abner Caga, took charge of the camp operations to include hosting of Power FM’s programs and interviews.

The team then discussed the highlights of its strategies that will be implemented and established for PIA Region 8 Regional Office, as well as the extent of help that the team could provide the Taclobanons.

"We will continue to strenghten our communication support to PIA Region 8, linkage and networking of partners and help the Taclobanons in anyway we can," said Caga. (JPG/PIA-Caraga)
