National Housing Authority (NHA) general manager Joeben Tai has recently spearheaded the groundbreaking ceremony for “Navotaas” Homes 5 phase 2 in Barangay Tanza 1, Navotas City.
He said each unit would feature a 24-square meter floor area complete with basic amenities, alongside community facilities, such as a center, a tricycle terminal, and a police station.
The groundbreaking on Nov. 22 marked the beginning of the construction of three low-rise buildings. The shelter project is part of Navotas City’s comprehensive plan to house the 6,500 remaining informal settler families residing in danger areas and waterways.
Tai cited the importance of the event as a continued promise of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to provide homes and sustainable communities to the Filipino people.
NHA assistant general manager Alvin Feliciano and North Sector regional manager Jovita Panopio, along with the representatives of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and local government unit, also graced the event.
In total, 24 low-rise buildings are expected to benefit 1,440 Navoteño families in the Navotaas Homes 5 low-rise building housing project, the NHA said.
