ON Thursday Jan. 23, former senator and former national police chief of chiefs Panfilo Lacson, who is the Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery of the Yolanda-devastated areas, told radio audiences that he knows 10 politicians who benefited from the construction of the overpriced substandard bunkhouses.

On the recommendation of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), the Aquino administration has laid out a P361-billion Reconstruction Assistance on Yolanda (RAY) plan for areas ravaged by the super typhoon.
