MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur--The Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) is constructing grouted riprap in two permanent housing sites here to ensure environmental and social safeguards.
SHFC Vice President for Northwestern Mindanao Felman Gilbang reported during the Task Force Bangon Marawi inter-agency meeting on Wednesday that the construction of retaining wall and slope protection at Marawi Shelter Project Phase (MSPP) 1 (Hadiya Village) in Barangay Dulay West is 96.40% completed.
The construction of a riprap/ retaining wall at MSPP 2 (Darussalam Village) in Brgy. Dulay Proper began last December and is now at 27.75% completion.
Gilbang also said that they realized the request of the community association to build a grouted stairway.
“Nagrequest ang community na maglagay ng stairs kasi bumababa sila jan, ginagawang diving board, naliigo at naglalaba din minsan,” he said.
[The community requested to build stairs because they go down there, they use it as diving boards, to take a bath and do laundry sometimes.]
As a member of the Subcommittee of Housing of Task Force Bangon Marawi, SHFC is committed to acquire and develop the land used for the construction of permanent houses using funds from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management – Marawi Recovery, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program (NDRRM-MRRP). They are also tasked to construct community facilities such as water system and roads.
Meanwhile, construction of the 438 permanent housing units in MSPP 3 (Norsalam Village) in Brgy. Patani is also ongoing. This project is implemented by the United Nations Human Settlement Programme using funds from the government of Japan. (LELA/ PIA Lanao del Sur)
