VP Awards 215 Land Titles to QC Settlers

Vice President and Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) Chairperson Jejomar C. Binay today awarded 215 land titles to qualified beneficiaries of the National Government Center (NGC)–West Side Housing Project located at Brgy. Commonwealth, Quezon City.

This is the sixth batch of awardees of the NGC–West Side Housing Project where a total of 315 titles have already been released this year.

“I encourage all the beneficiaries of this project with existing contracts to sell to update your accounts and religiously pay your monthly dues,” Binay said.

“Siguro naman ay malinaw na bago mapasainyo ang mga titulong ito, may mga alituntunin at patakaran na dapat gawin at sundin. Kasama riyan ang pagsunod sa re-blocking ayon sa naaprubahang subdivision plan, at ang actual occupancy o tunay na pagtira sa loteng naigawad o nailaan sa inyo,” he added.

Vice President Binay also announced that 85 titles are ready to be awarded this year and that the NHA–NGC West Management Office are waiting for the would-be recipients to submit their complete documentary requirements. He added that they are expecting five hundred (500) land titles to be distributed next year.

“Sa mga gusto pang humabol na makuha ang kanilang mga titulo sa taong ito, pwedeng-pwede pa po. Basta magawa lang ninyo ang mga kinakailangan,” he said.

“Kami naman ay laging nasa likod ninyo, nakaalalay. At tulad ninyo ay naniniwala na ang pagkakaroon ng sariling bahay ang simula ng magandang buhay,” Binay added.

The NGC–West Side Housing Project was created by virtue of Presidential Proclamation 137 issued by then President Corazon C. Aquino in 1987.

This housing project was placed under the administration and supervision of the National Housing Authority and the implementation of the project started in 1994 after a census-survey of potential beneficiaries was conducted.

Its purpose was to secure the land tenure of the urban poor and allocating lands located in the NGC, Quezon City to be utilized for housing, socioeconomic, civic, educational, religious and other purposes.

“Inuulit ko po, napakahalaga ng inyong kooperasyon at pagtupad sa obligasyon bilang mga nakikinabang sa pabahay na ito. Kasama na rito ang pagbabayad sa buwanang hulog nang nasa tamang oras,” Binay said.

“Huwag magdalawang-isip: kaya ninyong gawin ito. Tandaan lang na ang pangangalaga sa proyektong ito ay nakasalalay hindi lang sa gobyerno kundi sa inyo rin na nakatira rito,” he added.
