Caloocan City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan led the ceremony of the lot-awarding for 32 families and issuance of deed of sale for 21 families under the Camarin 1 and 2 Project of the Housing and Resettlement Office (HARO) and the National Housing Authority (NHA).
According to HARO, the said beneficiaries are long-term occupants of the lots from Barangay 174, 175, 176 and 177.
The local chief executive expressed his gratitude to NHA and the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP)-National Capital Region for assisting the city government in its projects aiming to provide socialized housing and lots for qualified residents.
“Sa lahat po ng ahensyang katuwang natin sa programang ito upang maisakatuparan ang pangarap ng ating mga kababayan, sa HARO, sa NHA at sa PCUP, maraming salamat po,” Mayor Along said.
HARO Officer-in-charge Engr. Noemi Obina said that the occupants shall settle a minimal amount payable up to 25 years to the city government which helps secure their current homes.
“Mababa lang po ang hulog, depende sa laki ng lote at pwede itong bayaran sa loob ng 25 years para hindi mabigat. Nais nating mapanatag ang ating mga kababayan na sa kanila na maipangalan ang kanilang loteng tinitirhan,” she said.
PCUP-NCR Commissioner-in-charge Reynaldo Galupo also attended the said event and likewise expressed his appreciation to the local government in its commitment to provide accessible shelter to its constituents.
“Ramdam natin na mas pinapalawig ng Caloocan ang mga programa ukol sa murang pabahay at lupa. Kami sa pamahalaang nasyonal ay patuloy na makikipag-ugnayan para makatulong pa sa mas marami nating mga kababayang Pilipino na magkaroon ng sariling tirahan,” the commissioner stated.
