The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has announced that the government is planning to stop the construction of temporary shelters in areas ravaged by super typhoon and instead will give construction materials to the survivors.

The DPWH will provide P30,000 worth of construction materials to survivors of Super Typhoon Yolanda whose houses were totally damaged and P10,000 for partially damaged, instead of pushing through with the construction of bunkhouses, Secretary Rogelio Singson said.
