GMA Kapuso Foundation (GMAKF) once again enshrined its commitment to provide sustainable development projects for the victims of Typhoon Yolanda as it completed the first phase of the Kapuso Village in Tacloban City, Leyte.
 
On July 24, 49  houses were turned over to former residents of Barangay 88 in Tacloban City as part of the 400-unit Kapuso Village Tacloban Project. The Kapuso Village Tacloban Project is in partnership with the City Government of Tacloban and the National Housing Authority (NHA).
 
GMAKF Executive Vice President and COO Ms. Mel C. Tiangco led the ceremonies and assisted by NHA Leyte-Samar Projects OIC, Marilyn C. Lauzon including the local government officials of Tacloban. Representatives from Hanabishi were also present to personally hand their donations to the beneficiaries.
 
“This is only the start of the realization of our solid commitment to help rebuild the lives of the many displaced residents of Leyte,” says Tiangco on the sustainable projects that the Foundation has laid out for Yolanda victims.
 
Aside from the ongoing construction of the remaining units in Tacloban, GMAKF also hopes to instil the importance of education among the young. GMA Kapuso pledged the construction of 24 new classrooms under the Kapuso School Development Project within the village. The site is located on a 3.5-hectare plot of land in Brgy. 106, Sto. Nino, Tacloban City donated by the city government of Tacloban.
 
GMAKF is also simultaneously constructing another Kapuso Village in Sitio Caloogan, Brgy. San Jose, Palo, which includes 200 houses and 10 classrooms. This project is earmarked for residents of Barangay San Joaquin, Barangay Baras, Barangay Guindaponan, and Barangay Arado who were displaced by the typhoon Yolanda.
