Tacloban City - Housing at Sangyaw Village constructed by the National Housing Authority located at Brgy Tagpuro, Tacloban City are deteriorating and remain unoccupied since they were launched in more than three years ago, in April 2013.
The 1,000 housing units were intended for 450 members of the Philippine National Police; another 450 for personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines; Bureau of Correction, 50; and Bureau of Fire Protection, 50.
The housing project was undertaken by Solana Land Development Corporation and Golden Build Corporation.
According to NHA Estate Management Specialist Dorcas T. Secreto, the NHA was waiting for the completion of the project by the land developer even though, usually, the construction of the housing units was not expected to last beyond 18 months.
Last June, a team from NHA National Office conducted an inspection, and they observed some defects.
Each housing unit costs PhP240,000 pesos (P205,000 payable; P35,000 subsidized). The beneficiaries of the low-cost housing of the NHA were to pay P200 a month for 30 years.
"Kung sino ang developer, siya ang mag-aaward (The award to the beneficiaries is to be made by the respective developers)," said Secreto.
Today, at least four families are living in the village even without a certificate of occupancy from the National Housing Authority.
The completion of the housing units was stopped after typhoon Yolanda. The housing project gave priority to families survived the monster storm, but no one has formally transferred there.
According to the security guard in the village who declined to be named, the beneficiary families couldn't move in because there is no running water and no electricity connection.
