Probe of post-Yolanda rehab programs sought

A congressional inquiry into the multi-billion post-Yolanda repair and rehabilitation programs has been proposed in the House of Representatives.

In proposing the investigation, Rep. Terry Ridon of Kabataan party-list, on Tuesday cited the United Nations Special Rapporteur Chaloka Beyani raising the alarm that victims of the super typhoon remained vulnerable to future disasters two years after Yolanda--the strongest typhoon in history--devastated provinces in the Visayas provinces and left dead around 6,000 people.
