Imelda and I have finalized the plans for the Tondo rehabilitation.
Tomorrow we hear mass at the public mass to be celebrated by our chaplain; Father Bautista then inaugurate the first two buildings of the temporary houses on the Customs land across the street from Don Bosco.
I sign the orders creating the committees and setting aside one-half of the extension of Roxas Blvd. for the demonstration houses as well as the Nawasa [National Water and Sewerage Authority] and Public Works areas. We might also use the reclaimed area.
We will not force anyone to adopt this method but those who want to can use the temporary houses and sign the agreements.
In the meantime, the Congress should approve the new law on resettlement of the Tondo fire victims.
Saturday has been a restful and happy day as Imelda and I slept late and planned for our future.
The girls leave for London on Wednesday. Bongbong leaves later.
Imelda may go with the girls.
