CEBU CITY – Mayor Edgardo Labella said the local government is planning to put up massive medium-rise buildings project to serve as resettlement site for informal settlers.
Labella said he met with Secretary Eduardo del Rosario, chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, to negotiate for the construction of the project. He was accompanied by former City Councilor Jose Daluz III, economic planning expert Roberto Varquez and accredited developers led by Joe Soberano, of Cebu Landmasters.
“Informal settlers dugay na kaayo napasagdan, wa pa gyud solusyon nga nahatag. Under our administration, we will try our best, especially those who are living along the dangerous zones, we will give them a relocation site that is decent enough for their family,” he said.
He said the project is his commitment to giving informal settlers decent homes. “The massive housing project will rise to accommodate the informal settlers of the city and solve the housing problem that we are facing. It is important to note that in our goal for development, the underprivileged should not be left behind,” he said.
Labella said the local government launched a mid-rise socialized housing project in Lorega village that will be replicated in other villages. He also pressed local realty developers to strictly implement the provisions of Republic Act 7279, or the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992 which mandates them to set aside a certain percentage of their commercial housing units intended for socialized housing.
According to the law, land developers are mandated to give a five-percent share to the local government unit to be used for the construction of condominium units and 20 percent for subdivisions. “We are still in the process of coming up with a program, a project strategy,” Labella said.
