The Bacolod Housing Authority (BHA) recently qualified 400 applicants for lots at the city’s relocation site in Barangay Vista Alegre. BHA head Ma. Victoria Parrenas said the qualified applicants were those who have been impacted by the ongoing clearing operations.
She noted, there were 1,800 who applied for relocation after their homes were demolished following President Rodrigo Duterte’s order for all roads to be cleared of obstructions.
The BHA official said they have 100 available lots after previous ownership was canceled due to non-compliance.
Meanwhile, Parrenas said the city is about to develop another 1,600 lots in order to accommodate the additional beneficiaries./DGB, WDJ
