Neg. Or. Still reeling After a little over ten months since the Magnitude 6.9 earthquake rocked many parts of the Visayas and Mindanao on February 6, the province of Negros Oriental is still reeling from the unprecedented massive devastation that claimed the lives of 58 people, and injured 308 others. It also displaced 44,360 families, left 63 others missing that are presumed dead, and damaged hundreds of billions of pesos in government and private infrastructure, agriculture, and non-government and private properties. Rehabilitation efforts continue until now, but at a perceived crawling pace despite efforts of government agencies, non-government organizations, the private sector and external donor agencies, for a number of reasons. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
