The national government’s housing program under the Marcos administration may be bound to fail if ISFs are relocated far away from workplaces, sources of income and basic social services, Sen. Joseph Victor Ejercito warned on Monday.
Conveying his concern during the hearing of the Committee on Housing he acknowledged there is a reason why this was so, saying,. Karamihan sa kanila ay narito sa mga lungsod dahil sa kanilang mga trabaho.
“If houses are built just for compliance and living conditions of potential occupants are not considered,” Ejercito warned “a noble cause to provide shelter is bound to fail.” Ejercito recalled that during his long term as mayor of San Juan City, he pioneered “in-city relocation” with the establishment of the St. Josephville compound, which served as the “blueprint” for various in-city resettlement programs across the country.
