The Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) inaugurated today, January 23, its housing and livelihood projects for survivors of Supertyphoon Yolanda (international code name Haiyan) in Alangalang, Leyte, a few kilometers from Tacloban City.
Barely 10 months since the groundbreaking of Sitio New Era, envisioned as a model community nestled on top of a mountain aptly called Barangay Langit, it now has some 500 concrete housing units completed and ready for occupancy.
Another 500 housing units are also set to be built in the area, where livelihood facilities have also been set up for the benefit of the survivors of the strongest typhoon on record in the Philippines.
