DHSUD breaks ground for Bacoor in-city gov’t housing project

The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) has touted a Bacoor City housing project as an ideal in-city government housing strategically located in the city center.

DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar commended Bacoor City Mayor Strike Revilla and the entire local government unit for allotting a lot in Barangay Zapote 1 for the project under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program.

“Napakaganda ng lokasyon, katapat lamang ang barangay hall, malapit sa eskwelahan, sa ospital, palengke, at higit sa lahat nasa labasan lamang ang commercial area. Ito po ang konsepto ng in-city, township development sa ilalim ng Pambansang Pabahay–walang madi-displace sa malayo,” Secretary Acuzar said.

“Asahan po ninyo ang buong suporta ng DHSUD upang maging matagumpay ang proyektong ito para sa ating mga kababayang Bacooreno,” he added.

Dubbed “Strike Towers,” the housing project aims to construct nine, 15-storey buildings composed of 1,890 condominium-type units complete with open spaces, parks and other amenities.

Secretary Acuzar and Mayor Revilla led the groundbreaking of the Strike Towers last week – – signalling the start of the development of the project which has the support of Pag-IBIG Fund.

“Umpisa pa lamang po ito, sigurado ako na may mga hamon pa tayong kakaharapin. Ngunit tiwala ako na basta’t tayo ay sama-sama at tulung-tulong ay kakayanin natin matupad ang pangarap ng ating Pangulong Bongbong Marcos Jr. na walang Pilipinong walang bahay sa sariling bayan, “Secretary Acuzar said.

So far, about 20 housing projects under the flagship Pambansang Pabahay are in various stages of development and construction throughout the country.

In Bacolod City, at least 288 condominium-type housing units are scheduled to be delivered next month.
