Iloilo oil spill evacuees now housed in hotels
Excerpt
From cramped and spartan rooms in evacuation centers, more than a thousand evacuees from areas affected by the oil spill in this city were transferred to air-conditioned hotel rooms starting Thursday evening. About 336 families, or 1,240 individuals, from five evacuation centers were transferred to three hotels located in Mandurriao District here, namely, the District 21, the Diversion 21 and the Courtyard by Marriott Iloilo, according to Gabino Ramon Mejia, head of plant operations of AC Energy Philippines, which owned the power barge that caused the spill. “We will provide them with air-conditioned rooms with toilets and television sets. We will also shoulder their food until they can return to their homes,” Mejia told the Inquirer.
