Wildlife park in QC turns into evacuation center
A nature center named after President Benigno Aquino III's assassinated father was hastily converted into an evacuation center for 200 families who lost their homes to a fire in a squatter colony in Quezon City Tuesday afternoon. Children and elderly citizens crowded the amphitheater and Balintataw building of the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center, according to a report by radio dzBB's Cecilia Villarosa Wednesday. City social workers have been visiting the site since Tuesday night to give food to the displaced families. Bobby Fortuno, head of Vasra village where the fire occurred, appealed for clothes, drinking water and school supplies for the children attending school.
