People of Sarangani Province have received free housing
units from Senator Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao.
A total of 97 poor families In Malungon town benefits the
housing from the Senator.
On Tuesday, Malungon Mayor Maria Theresa Constantino said
that beneficiaries comprised selected “homeless” residents will qualify the “MP
Pabahay Project” of Senator Pacquiao.
She also said that they initially turned over an initial 77
housing units to the beneficiaries while the remaining 20 will be awarded by
Pacquiao in another event.
Constantino said the construction of the housing units, with
single and duplex types, was personally funded by the Senator.
She added that the units were built on a 1.5-hectare
subdivided land in Barangay Poblacion which is beside the other one-hectare lot
that was also donated for the new barangay hall compound by Pacquiao.
“Beneficiaries are not allowed to sell or convert their
respective homes into rooming houses for those who do not reside in this town,”
Constantino said.
“Aside from the housing units, a community plaza, playground
and other facilities will be constructed at the site,” the mayor added.
The site was adjacent to the town’s public market, and was
part of the 9-hectare land acquired by Senator Pacqauiao’s family years ago.
The mayor assured that the construction of these houses passed
government standards and evaluation of the local government in coordination
with the recipient barangay.
The said project of Senator Pacquiao shows his “love for
Malungon”, especially the poor, said Constantino.
The selection of the beneficiaries of the housing units was
approved by the Senator himself.
