BONGAO, Tawi-Tawi, Philippines – The National Housing Authority (NHA) has allotted about P48 million to develop a 13-hectare lot in the municipality of Panglima Sugala, Tawi-Tawi, where some 600 low-cost housing units will be constructed early next year. | |||
Tawi-Tawi Governor Sadikul Sahali said the NHA Central Office in Manila has allotted the amount that will be used for site development, including fencing and road networks of the 13-hectare lot located in Barangay Batu-Bato, for the implementation of at least 600 low-cost housing units. | |||
“The amount will be used for site development of the lot in Batu-Bato Problacion where the provincial government will undertake the construction of some 600 housing units for our people here,” Sahali said. | |||
He said the housing units will be undertaken by administration in order for the provincial government to maximize the full amount of the fund intended for the housing project here. | |||
Sahali said poor residents living along the shoreline of the municipality, and those who have been deported by the Malaysian government as illegal migrants or entrants will be given priority of having a low-cost housing unit from the NHA. | |||
“Those people from other cities or provinces in the country who were deported by the Malaysian government as illegal migrants or entrants, and they are here today, will also be accommodated, if they signify their intentions to stay in this province,” Sahali said. | |||
The provincial governor said his government is expecting the completion of the 600 units of houses during the second quarter of next year. | |||
“We hope that the construction of the 600 low-cost housing units will be completed before the end of the second quarter next year,” Sahali stressed. | |||
He said the housing units given by NHA “would be of great help to our people here particularly to those who do not have their own home and are just staying along the coast of the municipality.” | |||
He said providing them with their own homes is one way of assisting the poor people here improve their lives in this province. | |||
Panglima Sugala is a 3rd class municipality in the province, and has a population of about 33,315 people in 5,406 households. | |||
The town also hosts 17 barangays (villages) – Balimbing Proper, Batu-Bato (Poblacion), Buan, Dungon, Luuk, Buntal, Parangan, Tabunan, Tungbangkaw, Bauno Garing, Belatan Halu, Karaha, Kulape, Liyaburan, Magsaggaw, Malacca, Sumangday, and Tundon. | |||
