Extra effort to improve the situation!

After the fire, the members of the St. Hannibal Homeowners’ Association, Phase 4 have asked for the assistance of the local government of Pasay City and some agencies of the government in order to resolve the issue. This resulted into a meeting together with all the members of the barangay officials. But it turned out to be a casting of blames. Instead of finding solutions to their problems, the barangay officials instead hailed their protest against the St. Hannibal members. Our leaders were not able to present their plans for the development of the area. Thus, it ended up negatively. Despite this, the St. Hannibal group is one in praying that one day God will show his hands for these adamant people. God is with the oppressed.
