OBJECT OF THE INTERVENTION: Provide humanitarian interventions to the IDPs of the
Zamboanga Siege through distribution of relief packs, hygiene kits and school supplies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The affected residents of the siege continues to suffer even the war between the government
security forces and a faction of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) had ended. After
the siege, residents were left homeless and forced to live in the evacuation centers for several
months. Unfortunately, death toll of evacuees has already reached more than 120 in the
evacuation camps, more than 50% are children. More than 64,000 remain displaced in
evacuation centers and temporary sites, most of them staying at the Joaquin Enriquez
Memorial Grandstand.

As part of the Service for Peace program of the Teach Peace Build Peace Movement
(TPBPM), the TPBPM received a donation of five 20 feet-container vans with relief goods such
as food, water, and new clothes, among others from the Junior Chamber International (JCI)
Manila as part of their project Oplan Damayan.

JCI has been conducting the Oplan Dayamayan for years in order to help those who are
in need in times of disasters. As a support to our brothers and sisters living in Zamboanga,
JCI Manila and TPBPM worked together in fulfilling their basic necessities, thus the
BAYANIHAN FOR ZAMBOANGA is formed.

As of June 24, 2014, there are still more than 6000 families living in the Grandstand although
a lot of the IDPs are now staying in the Transitory Sites, there is still a great need for proper
intervention.

BACKGROUND
The Zamboanga Siege erupted on September 9, 2013 when the MNLF faction attempted to raise
the flag on the self-proclaimed Bangsamoro Republic at the Zamboanga City Hall. The Armed
Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police has met an armed incursion that has
lasted for 20 days with the MNLF faction.

The clashes has caused the displacement of more than 100, 000 people, and the deaths of several
civilians, militaries and rebels. It has also caused the slowdown of the economic activity in the city
and the shutdown of the Zamboanga International Airport.

pencils, 10 ball pens, 3 notebooks, crayons, eraser and sharpener.
