DAVAO CITY – Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. president Arturo Milan called for a review of the four-decade-old Presidential Decree (1096) or the National Building Code of the Philippines to provide stricter regulations and standards on building applications.

– Davao City Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. president Arturo Milan called for a review of the four-decade-old Presidential Decree or the National Building Code of the Philippines to provide stricter regulations and standards on building applications.

He said there should be a new set of standards on structural design and construction methodology, particularly in the construction of houses, as most of those who lost their homes due to the powerful earthquakes last month had their homes built without proper standards. Milan said he saw several houses destroyed in Makilala, North Cotabato during a relief operation of the DCCCII.

As of Tuesday, Milan said the Asia Pacific Alliance for Disaster Management Philippines , a transnational aid alliance, recorded a total of 42,196 families or 260,286 individuals, 22,678 houses totally damaged, and 13,082 houses partially damaged in earthquake-affected areas in Mindanao.
