Concerns have been raised about the NHA’s abolition if its corporate term were not extended for another 50 years.
At a news conference at the NHA main office in Quezon City, NHA general manager Joeben Tai said that he has paid a courtesy call to leaders at the House of Representatives and discussed about the charter’s renewal. During the agency’s 47th anniversary, Tai said he has met with Speaker Martin Romualdez and presidential son and Senior Deputy Majority Leader Rep. Sandro Marcos on the NHA’s charter.
“I am too happy to break the news to all of you that the two respected House leaders did not hesitate to support the extension of the NHA’s corporate term,” Tai said.The charter’s renewal is significant to enable the agency pursue its programs and projects, and services to provide the poor, especially the informal settler families, with quality and decent low-cost housing units in the next 50 years, he said.
He vowed to continuously collaborate and strengthen partnership with other concerned government agencies, local government units and even the private sector to better serve the marginalized sector of society.
