Introduced by Senator Manny Villar

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The three typhoons -namely "Ondoy," "Pepeng" and "Quedan," have
ravaged much of Luzon, rendering towns and cities inhabitable for days as they
were inundated in floods and soup mud.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services,
Administration (PAGASA) said that the unexpected flood caused by Typhoons
Ondoy and Pepeng was the worst one ever recorded in history.

The victims of the typhoons and floods have lost almost all of their most
important belongings. Many of them had their cars damaged, important papers
and documents--cettificates, passports, land titles-have either gone missing or
destroyed.

This bill intends to establish One-Stop Action Office which will be tasked to
assist in the reconstitution of official dossiers, papers and other documents
damaged by the typhoons and floods.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this bill is earnestly requested.
