LIGAN City - The City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWD), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Iligan City Police Office (ICPO) have launched a joint operation against the reported green card scam victimizing the city’s Sendong survivors.

“The home-based Sendong survivors are the usual target victims,” he said even as he cautioned the people not to fall prey into this type of scam.

President Noynoy Aquino describing Cynthia Villar during the proclamation rally of Team PNoy at Plaza Miranda:-“Si Cynthia Villar: ang ating Misis Hanep Buhay; mula Kamara, ihahatid niya sa Senado ang pagbibigay-hanapbuhay sa ating mga kababayan, lalo na sa mga inang nangangailangan. Alay niya ay biyaya sa mga walang-wala, gagawing hanep ni Cynthia ang buhay ng mas marami pa nating kababayan.
