President Duterte To Provide 1,000 Housing Units To Scout Rangers In December 2018
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, in his speech during the
groundbreaking ceremony of the Scout Ranger Ville in San Miguel, Bulacan on
October 11, enumerates the different housing units that he has alloted for law
enforcers.
“So by December hopefully, by the grace of God, we will have
your units ready,” the President said in his speech.
“General Ed Del Rosario, sabi naman ni Housing, he will
deliver the houses to you December 2018. So, 2018 tapos na ‘yung mga bahay,” he
added.
The National Housing Authority project, under the AFP/PNP
Housing Program, will provide 1,000 housing units for the members of the 1st
Scout Ranger Regiment.
The Chief Executive also announced that aside from the
houses, the soldiers will also receive P70,000.
The Manila Banking Corporation (Manilabank), Department of
Budget and Management (DBM), National Housing Authority (NHA), Pag-IBIG Fund,
Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) and the Scout Ranger
Multi-Purpose Cooperative entered into an agreement for the development of the
50-hectare portion of the Manilabank property into a housing site.
A P200 million subsidy fund from the Budget department will
finance the construction of the housing project.
During his speech, President Duterte advised officials to
choose durable materials for the housing units, adding that he is interested in
the improvement of the quality of fixtures.
“What I have noticed actually ‘yung – take note of this,
Housing, ‘yung mga materials sa banyo. ‘Yun ang nagbe-break down kaagad,” he
said.
“But I’d like you to choose the durable ones. Wear and tear
‘yan araw-araw. Pati ‘yung – ang unang nagfa-falter, alam mo? Flush,” he added.
President Duterte also discussed the various housing
projects for government troops in Davao City, Zamboanga City, in Mati, and in
Iligan City.
The President said he prioritized the housing project for
soldiers because their lives are always in danger.
“Ngayon, sabi ko… Bakit ko kayo inuna? Matagal ako sa
gobyerno. Ang tatay ko was once upon a time a JAGO during war,” he said.
“And used to say that he was also governor of Davao. Inuuna
niya dahil ang sundalo pati pulis, on the average – do not be offended – medyo
nasa delikado na sitwasyon everyday sa buhay nila,” President Duterte explained.
