The Leachon
Administration is on the verge of fulfilling its promise to
provide housing for its employees and relocation for urban
informal settlers.
City Environment and Natural Resources Officer and housing and
relocation point person Wilfredo Landicho revealed that the
topographical survey of the 9-hectare site in Sitio Culo-Culo,
Brgy. Bulusan has been concluded and the site development of the
said area will push through within the first quarter of this
year. Site development includes the establishment of access
roads, creation of electric at water source, identifying open
spaces and construction of other basic facilities needed by a
community. The City Government of Calapan will be handling and
funding the undertaking.
Target beneficiaries of the program include informal settlers on
riverbanks from Brgy. Ibaba up to Brgy. Sta. Isabel, employees of
the City Government of Calapan, members of the Philippine National
Police and employees of other government branches and
institutions. For informal settlers, the City Government enlisted
the help of Gawad Kalinga, a non governmental organization. The
City Government will identify the beneficiaries while Gawad
Kalinga will provide for the materials and funds for the houses.
For City Government employees, PNP personnel and other government
workers, the funding will be coursed through with the Government
Service Insurance System or with Pag-ibig.
If everything will go as planned, full implementation of the
program will commence by July of 2008. |
