CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, October 11 (PIA) –- Vice-president Jejomar C. Binay led national and local government officials here in the launching of the “Cluster Approach to Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs) Preparation and Updating” for Region 4B (MIMAROPA) during the Pabahay Caravan in this city last October 7. | |||
The “cluster approach” is a program of the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) of which Binay is chairman of the board. | |||
Particularly in MIMAROPA (Mindoro-Marinduque-Romblon-Palawan) Region, Binay stated the lack of land use plan as of this time makes hard for the concerned LGUs in the area to fully develop and utilize their natural resources. That is why the national government, through the different housing and related agencies under the Office of the Vice-President continuously implementing the cluster approach program, the vice-president added. | |||
Binay explained the cluster approach aims to fast-track the preparation of updating of CLUP and zoning ordinances (ZO) by the different LGUs, including the identification of land for socialized housing, as prescribed in Republic Act 7279, or the Urban Development and Housing Act. Accordingly, the CLUP provides a rational approach of allocating equitably available resources among competing uses. | |||
“We cannot undermine the importance of CLUPs and ZOs in the implementation of the housing program as well as the economic development of local government units. The cluster approach is our way of fast-tracking the provision of technical assistance to LGUs in the formulation or updating of their respective CLUPs and ZOs. We are glad to finally launch the program in the MIMAROPA Region,” Binay said. | |||
Under the eight-month program, a cluster of LGUs will undergo four planning modules administered by the HLRUB. | |||
The Pabahay (Housing) Caravan was organized by the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) to build a stronger partnership with LGUs in addressing the country’s housing gap. | |||
Meanwhile, Binay congratulated Oriental Mindoro First District Congressman Rodolfo G. Valencia for developing Neo-Calapan, a middle class to high-end type of subdivision in this capital city of Oriental Mindoro, noting the said subdivision as a “model development housing program in the whole country.” | |||
The vice-president also awarded checks representing the housing loan proceeds and transfer certificates of title (TCT) to Pag-IBIG housing loan borrowers under the Housing Loan Program for End-Users. Four other titles were awarded to beneficiaries of the ‘Nagkakaisang Mamamayang Naninirahan sa Dulong Ilaya’ in this city who have completed payment of their loan obligations under the Community Mortgage Program of the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC), another agency chaired by Binay.
