President Benigno Aquino III has formed a task force that will present a comprehensive rehabilitation program for the areas devastated by Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan). The Cabinet is expected to tackle this by Wednesday, November 27. Leading the group is Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla, a former governor of Leyte, one of the hardest-hit provinces.
