On its milestone 30th year in the Philippines, the Tzu Chi Foundation unveiled the Tzu Chi Palo Great Love Village, a 1.4-hectare permanent housing project built for families affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013. Led by Tzu Chi Philippines CEO Henry Yuñez and attended by key personalities that included Leyte Governor Carlos Jericho “Icot” Petilla, Palo Mayor Remedios “Matin” Petilla, Palo Vice Mayor Jonathan P. Chiquillo, Sangguniang Barangay members of Palo, and Angelo King Foundation, Inc. representatives led by President Teddy Kingsu, the event saw the turnover of keys and housewarming gifts to 53 beneficiary families.

Fifty-three homeowners received the keys to their new home last July 11 at the Tzu Chi Palo Great Love Village, in Barangay San Jose, Palo, Leyte. This village will now be a permanent residence to families who survived Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013. Following the loss of their homes to Yolanda, these families lived in temporary housing provided by Tzu Chi.

A total of 5,444 beneficiaries received medical assistance with six medical departments.
