GENERAL SANTOS CITY (MindaNews/27 January) – The provincial government of Sarangani has finally unveiled its P80-million housing venture in the capital town of Alabel, opening its doors earlier this week to the first 11 local government workers who availed of the initiative. | |||
Sarangani Gov. Miguel Rene Dominguez said they formally turned over the initial 11 of the 180-unit Capitol Residences in Purok Sto. Niño, Poblacion in Alabel town last Tuesday, two years after it was launched as a pioneering Public-Private Partnership (PPP) housing project in the area. | |||
“This is a realization of our previous commitment to provide better shelter through medium grade but affordable housing facility for our employees,” the governor said in a report released by the Sarangani Information Office. | |||
The housing project is a joint initiative of the provincial government, the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF) or Pagibig Fund and property developer Sarangani Land and Development Corporation (SLDC). | |||
The provincial government earlier released P6 million for the purchase of the housing complex site, which were subdivided into 180 lots occupying 210 square meters each. | |||
SLDC is currently developing the site into a formal housing subdivision with complete features and housing units that comprise a floor area of 39.24 square meters. | |||
The housing units were earlier offered to provincial government employees at socialized packages worth P460,000 through Pagibig Fund financing. | |||
Dominguez said the housing project could become a template for other local government units (LGUs) and government agencies to follow “as a progressive, innovative way of developing (resources).” | |||
“This may signal the start of investments and developments that would provide formal, decent and the best housing structures in Sarangani,” he said. | |||
Lawyer Darlene Marie Berberabe, HDMF chief executive officer, said the Capitol Residences is so far the first among a number of proposed PPP housing projects nationwide that was fully implemented. | |||
She cited that the project was even implemented ahead of the housing program for LGUs that is being promoted by Vice President and Pagibig Fund housing program chair Jejomar Binay. | |||
During the simple turnover rites, the provincial government and its partners signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), a portion of which detailed the recoupment of the P6 million that the local government invested for the six-hectare housing site. | |||
It said the provincial government would earn P33,334 per housing unit based on the one peso computation from the proceeds of the loan per take-out. (Allen V. Estabillo / MindaNews) | |||
