The invisible ones
The Freeman
|May 22, 2025
Just before the campaign season rose to fever pitch last month, a Cebu City barangay called attention to the plight of a sector that doesn't' show up in the radar of many; the homeless and the street dwellers.
-
San Nicolas Proper Barangay Captain Rey Niñal said that in the past months he has observed a growing number of street dwellers returning to his barangay.
Not only that, many of them are in poor health. In fact, a street dweller died recently and they had trouble processing the burial because she was not registered in Cebu City.
He said efforts to take care of the homeless were actually implemented during the term of former mayor Michael Rama, but after Rama was suspended in May 2024 this initiative seems to have been shelved.
