The ghosts of Tropical Storms Olga and Noel are still haunting the area around San Jose de Ocoa, and can be witnessed by all. There are still communities that are cut off from the main roads, the country roads are still damaged, the main highway is in a precarious condition, and the farmers are suffering the lack of government assistance to replant their harvests. According to Hoy reporter Adalberto de la Rosa, the inhabitants of the province feel that they have been forgotten, since the equipment that was sent to rebuild the highway to the main crossroads was withdrawn after just starting work and has yet to return to the project. Local politicians say that communities like El Pinal, Las Espinas and Los Chivos are still cut off from the rest of the province. According to the reporter, the whole community is feeling the loss of the late Father Luis Quinn, since the priest was able to mobilize both local and international assistance for the development of his province.
