LAOAG CITY- Vice President Jejomar Binay said the Aquino administration will start providing housing units exclusively for the Aeta communities in Central Luzon. | |||
Binay said the National Housing Authority has approved the P14 million housing project, which will generate 350 housing units for the indigenous peoples in Pampanga. | |||
Considered the first housing project for Indigenous People (IPs), the program will benefit the Tribung Ayta ng Nabuklod from Floridablanca town in Pampanga. | |||
“The ‘pabahay’ program has long been focused on informal settlers and the poorest sector but has not included the IPs who are likewise poor,” he said. | |||
He said talks on providing housing support to IPs cropped up during his earlier consultations around the country. | |||
He said the government will also provide housing units to other IPs around the country like the Lumads, Mangyans and Dumagats. | |||
“We must remember that IPs are also Filipinos and basically poor,” he added. | |||
The vice president also led the ceremonial awarding of 57 transfer certificate of titles to beneficiaries of Pagibig or Home Development Mutual Fund’s FVR-Palaris housing project and NHA’s housing units in Paoay town in Ilocos Norte and Candon City in Ilocos Sur. | |||
Binay, also chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, was in Laoag on Tuesday for the eight leg of the Pabahay Caravan. | |||
He has gone to the cities of Cebu, Baguio, Tagaytay, Davao, Pampanga, Zamboanga and Tacloban. | |||
