SANTE FE, Cebu — About 40 percent of the residents of this typhoon-hit town are still living in tents ten months after typhoon "Yolanda" struck the country, a local official said.


Town mayor Jose Esgana said they are still waiting for the shelters to be provided by the national government.


"As of now, we are still awaiting the assistance especially the emergency shelter assistance coming from the [Department of Social Welfare and Development, or] DSWD," Esgana said in a recent interview.


"More than a thousand tents are still in Santa Fe and about 30 to 40 percent of our residents are still living in them," he added.


The fourth class town, one of the three municipalities located in the picturesque Bantayan Island, has a population of about 30,000.


Each tent houses a family with an average of four members. Most of the tents are provided by non-government organizations and private donors.


Esgana said DSWD might provide them the much-awaited shelter assistance before the first anniversary of "Yolanda" on November 8.
