Enriquez Memorial Sports Complex (JFEMSC) and an elderly in a bunkhouse, according to city health officials.<\/p>\n<p>Around 120,000 people had been displaced when a faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) attacked the Zamboanga City last year, prompting national and local leaders to use Zamboanga sports complex as one of the evacuation centers.<\/p>\n<p>At least 2,000 families are still in the sports complex while around 500 families are staying in tents in Cawa-cawa.<\/p>\n<p>Binay likewise called on government authorities to intensify their monitoring and response efforts, especially in disease prevention to curb the death toll.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe DOH and DSWD should intensify their monitoring and responses to address the illness like pulmonary and gastroenteritis that plague the evacuation centers,\u201d Binay said.<\/p>\n<p>Binay had earlier filed Senate Resolution 566, which seeks to inquire on the status of children in evacuation centers in Zamboanga City.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution has been referred to the Committee on Health and Demography chaired by Sen. Pia Cayetano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013 Sen.
