ICYMI: If elected, presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo and her running mate, Sen. Francis Pangilinan, would push for a yearly P50-billion fund for socialized housing projects.
The P50-billion yearly funding would only address immediate needs, the two officials pointed out, saying. “The funds needed for the housing of 1.8 million informal settler families is P225 billion a year for six years.”
“But the P50 billion every year for six years will provide for the immediate needs and ready projects,” the added. Meanwhile, Robredo and Pangilinan committed to ensuring that funds for socialized housing projects would be properly used and free of corruption.The tandem also wants to alleviate the burden faced by urban poor families transferred to far resettlement sites.
“They suffer because of the lack of services like water and electricity, street drainage, schools, and health services,” they said. These families, they added, would still be affected by calamities, aggravated by the effects of climate change.“To alleviate this suffering, we will make the NHA [National Housing Authority] resettlement sites free so that they could give them a chance to focus on earning a living,” they added.They would also seek to suspend demolition and evictions while housing projects in resettlement sites are still not ready.
