RATIONALE/STATEMENT OF NEED

Background. Recorded as the seond highest natural disaster in Mindanao with a total death toll placed at

1,249, 84 missing, 4,594 injured, 12,805 houses totally damaged and 29,520 partially damaged (NDRRMC

Report as of December 29, 2011), Typhoon Sendong (Washi) left most of the people in the cities of

Cagayan de Oro and Iligan devastated, homeless, and now faced with the challenge of rebuilding their

lives. The disaster has also been reported to have affected a population of 113,411 families or 720,860

persons in 789 barangays and 8 cities in the 13 provinces of Regions VI, VII, IX, X, and ARMM, two of

these Regions of which are found in Mindanao. Of these figures, Northern Mindanao claims to be the

worst and hardest hit with a death toll of 771 and 45, 035 families affected in Misamis Oriental and

381 and 16,560 families in Lanao del Norte.

The aftermath and the mark of Typhoon Sendong is indeed horrible and undescribable, and painfully

leaves one battled question: How do we rebuild the lives of youth and adults who are left victims of this

“tsunami in reverse.” This question must be addressed and answered by both government and the private

sectors.

The Issues/Problem. Foremost of the social problems left by disaster include the following:

• Thousands of youth and adults have been displaced due to Typhoon Sendong (Washi) leaving

them homeless and without FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER (Immediate)

• Rebulding the victims’ lives require immediate, medium, and long-term and sustainable

interventions and solutions.

The Community Need. The most important need of the victims right at the onset were potable water,

food, clothing and medicines. Thousand of those victims are now congested in the evacuation sites.

THE DAY OF BLESSINGS AND SHARING

A total of 441 packs were

distributed and given last

December 24, 2011. A joined relief

effort was done by PSTD and

MINTVET association. Mintvet

provided 441 fresh products from

Zamboanga and Gensan.

Many have been blessed on that

day as government relief was not

visible at the time. It was the

private sector such PSTD and

Mintvet and other private

individuals who sustained the

victim while Government relief

was still on the way.

From the words of the Victim:

“…nakaka taba puso po sa amin na

sa panahong ito nan diyan kayo

tumutulong sa amin…aming

naramdaman ang pasko “na may

nag mamahal sa amin…”
