Kapamilya, Shower Na

One of the things that I have seen that had become a good treat to all evacuees of the Ondoy victims is the free quickie showers (5-7 minutes) offered by ABS-CBN and DZMM radio station. The project called, "Kapamilya Shower Na"  addresses the hygiene needs of the victims, who have not taken a bath since that fateful September 26 Ondoy wrath. The project further aims to prevent the spread of the disease.

Victims can take a shower at the 20-footer truck with shower cubicles, 12 evacuees at a time. Shower areas are partitioned for both sexes, 6 cubicles for men and 6 for women.  They will be given a  hygiene kit from Unilever containing soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo and deodorant.

It was Anchorman Ted Failon who conceptualized the project. He worked with good friend, Architect Rene Hiray, president of the United Architects of the Philippines. The construction of the improvised shower cubicles took them only 4 and a half days to construct.

Good job!!! Salute to ABS-CBN, DZMM, Anchor Ted Failon and Arch. Rene Hiray. God Bless you and God Bless the Philippines. ........
