In their pursuit to help the survivors of typhoon “Yolanda”,

the Initiatives for Dialogue and Empowerment through Alternative Legal Services(IDEALS) is currently spearheading a mass registration for all typhoon survivors of Samar and Leyte. In Eastern SAmar, eight(8) municipalities which were hardest hit by the super typhoon are targeted to be piloted, Mr. John Cortez of IDEALS, Balangiga Satellite Office said. These are the municipalities of Guiuan, Quinapondan, Hernani, Mercedes, Salcedo, Lawaan, Balangiga and Giporlos. Come Monday morning, April 7, a launching program is set to be held at the Tierra de Milagros Resort, barangay Arado, Palo, Leyte, where local chief executives, local civil registry officers and heads of

line agencies are expected to join. Mr. Cortez said that this is one way of showing the world that they care for the marginalized sectors of society, farmers, fisher folks and now the helpless “Yolanda” survivors, who are financially incapacitated to finance the reconstruction of their lost family documents. “It would be an added burden to families whose houses, including their vital documents were washed out, to be going back and forth their municipal civil registrar ’s office, in order to reconstitute their children’s birth certificates and marriage contracts. Thus, this assistance from IDEALS supported by NSO, DSWD and DILG ”, Mr. Cortez stressed. He explained that the event in Palo is only the launching of the “legal” assistance to survivors, because the registration will be

done in respective target areas. He added, that United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees(UNHCR) supports the program likewise, as they intend to offer further interventions to the survivors. UNICEF a champion for children’s right to a name and nationality also brings forth its support with another humanitarian group_ UNDP. In a separate interview, Ms. Malou Azul, Borongan City Local Registry Officer shared, that copies of records from the NSO national office will be shared to the concerned LCRs for purposes of validation and reconstruction. She added that these records are certainly important for government to be able to determine the kind and number of programs for the poor, i.e. the Conditional Cash Transfer(4Ps).
