Feedback / Comments:  IOM updated on the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) of their proposed alternative evacuation space (AES). Several feedback were given: to consider having consultation with other stakeholders; and most importantly, with the IDPs themselves – both home-based and inside ECs. The decision for approval of this proposal should be discussed in and by the CCCM Cluster. Need also for a timeline as to until when will the displacement be.  Distribution of Ramadan packs in Tibanga EC – exclusively for Iglesia ni Kristo IDPs – was discontinued due to religion barrier. Agreement was to distribute simultaneously with home- based IDPs in Tibanga to avoid commotion.  Distribution in Balo-i ECs: there was also commotion during the distribution for home-based IDPs at the municipal hall because upon an announcement they heard, the inside ECs IDPs immediately went to the municipal hall, hoping to receive the items being distributed. Suggestion was to have the same process of distribution in Tibanga: make distribution simultaneous for inside and outside EC IDPs.
