The general objective of the research was to gain lessons and insights in relocating and rehabilitating families affected by natural calamities. Specifically, the research studied the agencies involved in the relocation of Mt. Pinatubo victims and the coordination among them, the beneficiaries’ satisfaction with services delivered, their values, aspirations as well as resources and opportunities available to them in the relocation sites.
