Providing affordable
and decent housing to the Misamisnons
The Misamis Occidental Provincial Housing Project is on its way to fulfilling
the promise of providing more opportunities for Misamisnons to avail
of low-cost quality housing units. Located in Barangay Villaflor, Oroquieta
City, with an area of 4.8948 hectares, the project is made possible
through the unprecedented effort of the Provincial Government of Misamis
Occidental, headed by Governor Leo Ocampos.
Within
the three-month-period starting from February, processing of vital papers,
like the Land Conversion Certificate (LCC), the Environmental Compliance
Certificate (ECC), and the Individual Technical Descriptions, has been
fast-tracked. This has been facilitated through the prompt cooperation
of and in coordination with the different national agencies, such as,
the Department of Agrarian Reform 10 (DARIO), Department of Environment
and Natural Resources 10 (DENR 10) and DENR-Land Management Section
(DENRIO-LMS) respectively.
As a result, construction has been continuous and uninterrupted.
To date, road construction is heavily under way. Also at work is ongoing
construction of each of the four model houses 1C, 2C, 3C, and 4C. There
are already two (2) model Socialized Housing duplexes with four (4)
units available for viewing and inspection.
Local
residents have also been given the opportunity to earn additional income
from this project as construction workers. At present, the Provincial
Housing Project Committee is in the process of coordinating with the
Office of the City Register of Deeds for the acquisition of Individual
Land Titling.
There
are 259 housing lots available with the following breakdown:
Socialized Housing Lots - 112
Type 1C - 32
Type 2C - 47
Type 3C - 28
Type 4C - 40
For inquiries, interested parties and applicants are encouraged to go
