MARAWI
CITY, Lanao del Sur, Nov. 19 (PIA) --- Forty-eight housing units have been
completed and are ready for occupancy by qualified applicants at the Autonomous
Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Resettlement/Housing Project site located at
Barangay Capiton in Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao.
Regional
Governor Mujiv S. Hataman and Regional Housing and Rural Development Authority
Chair Kanggu M. Umal led the ribbon cutting and open house declaration of the
completed units in a ceremony held at the site on November 18.
The
2.1-hectare resettlement area is designed for the construction of 96 housing
units, exclusively for the rank and file personnel of the ARMM.
“We
will ensure that only the rank and file employees of the ARMM will benefit from
this housing program. This has been previously approved by a Board Resolution,”
Hataman said.
The
44-square meter house structure stands on a 140 square meter lot, which is only
a few meters away from the Capiton highway providing easy access to the
recipient-employees for an eight kilometer drive or ride towards the ARMM
compound in Cotabato City.
Each
housing unit, with an aggregate cost estimate of P700,000 , consists of three
bedrooms, a living room, dining area, kitchen, shared toilet and bath, and a
carport.
Concrete
road network and canals and provision of power and water supply will
complete the amenities afforded for comfortable living.
“This
housing project, aspired by the ARMM workforce for decades now, has been
realized only during the Hataman administration,” Umal said.
The
week-long open house for the completed units has been set as part of the 25th
commemoration of the ARMM Founding Anniversary for ocular visit by interested
tenants.
Also
aligned with the celebration, Hataman said the initial units will be
awarded to two ARMM active personnel with the longest service record rendered
in the autonomous region. (Bureau of Public
