CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City government is planning to build medium-rise buildings in Barangay Lorega as the pilot area for the city’s social housing program.
Daluz said these informal settlers will be the first recipients of Gasa sa Paglaum, occupying a 2,000 square meter building with five floors complete with basic social services such as a health center, a skills training center, and a day care center at the first floor. The units will be rent-free for the first five years, as the city government will subsidize the rent during this period. Afterwards, the family will begin to pay rent, the amount of which is still to be determined, or find better accommodation else as they are presumed to be financially capable by then, according to Daluz.
