UN praises Zamboanga IDP efforts

ZAMBOANGA CITY: The UN Special Rapporteur for Internally Displaced Persons praised the Zamboanga City government for its continuing efforts in protecting the welfare of IDPs following his recent visit to transitory sites here.

“The protection of IDPs is primarily a government responsibility, and so far, we have seen how the government of the Philippines is living up to this primary national responsibility,” Chaloka Beyani said.
