Panfilo Lacson at the Experts Forum on Rebuilding Communities after Yolanda
After hearing Presidential Assistant for Rehab and Recovery (PARR) Secretary Panfilo Lacson this morning at the forum co-hosted by OML Climate Change Center at AIM, I am now a fan.  He said that "Government should not be the only option to bring back Visays to its feet." He is currently rallying big business conglomerates to partner with him  - these are the likes of the Lopez Group, Ayala Corporation, Jollibe/Mang Inasal. Â
As of today, there are 9 development sponsors who have committed to facilitate reconstruction of 16 of the 24 Typhoon-hit areas and 10 sectoral sponsors who have committed to take care of education. The other sectors are health, housing and livelihood.
His office was able to put up a Yolanda-Haiyan Multidonor Fund that will be managed by the private sector. Donations can be coursed through BDO S/A Â 105310463926 (for dollar) and 005310633988 (for peso).
