Urban Slum Areas

[thomasian]

Oh, I remember another lost cost housing project of Atienza also under his "Buhayin ang Maynila" program. The U.N. Gardens.

[KulasKusgan]

there is this urban land reform program here wherein the govt buys a piece of land to be distributed. i do not see anything good for the govt to award sort of certificate of stewardship or land titles to settlers which in return be used as collaterals for loan purposes. a govt program will always bound fail once youd advertise ideas on loan, which most urban poor think as dole-out. also, these lands are faraway that total travelling time consume more than half their lifespan. yes, the idea may be good but the main problem is the implementation. govt is not good in managing business.

let the private sector do the business (with the help from the govt through HDMF). i go for the idea of providing the poor with socialized flats in a place wherein they can work or do business within a 3-5 km radius. Residencias maybe too posh for the urban poor but too cheap for the elite. Why not categorize the poor as to how much they can afford, build clusters of buildings, make them payable in 25 years and to have some fall back, teach them how to fish... make them skilled or entrepreneur for them to be able to pay amortizations.

putting a politician's name in a project would make it somehow look like a dole-out project.

another thing is urban migration, creating urban centers in the provinces will help address this problem as well as good program on population control. i go for 1-2 child policy.

ATIENZA INAUGURATES UN GARDENS HOUSING PROJECT

Manila Mayor Lito Atienza receives from Ms. Zenaida Marquez, president of Empire East Properties, Inc., the symbolic key to the UN Gardens medium rise housing project during its inauguration. The housing project was a joint undertaking by the City of Manila and the property development firms as part of the housing component of Atienza's Buhayin ang Maynila program. There are 360 units with a floor area of 30 square meters each in the housing project. Also present during the inauguration were (from left to right) 4th district Rep. Rudy Bacani, 5th district Councilor Ric Ibay, Robert Ortega, Mitch Cuna, Kim Atienza, Boy Isip and former Councilor Roger Gernale.

Just a heads up that cheap condo's (whether they're bult for the poor or not is another question) do exist. Check out the model units for Cityland Pasig Mansion (or something like that). They have a 13 sq.m. studio selling for 390,000 Php and dig this.. a 3 bedroom 29 sq.m. apartment selling for 900,000 Php. All sold out I believe. Anyway you have to see it to believe it specially shoehorning 3 bedrooms in 29sq.m.

[KulasKusgan]

whew! 13 sq m? looks like a boarding house. 29 sq m 3 BR? i cant imagine. i saw an episode of tahanang pinoy where they featured several projects on condos for the masses. there are some fairly decent ones. but honestly to me, an sikip tingnan. prices range from 400+ to 1M+.

Effective Housing for Filipinos: (not cheap housing)

This is a big problem in the philippines...why because most of our politician only think short term (what would make them smell & look good in their term). Nobody thinks long term and what is for the greater good. Effective Housing cannot be addressed without the supporting factors such as the following:

1. Population control - whats the point of building tons of mass housing if our population growth rate overcomes all this effort. Its like capping 10 bottles with 9 caps....u knw what I mean.

2. Decentralization of Government - this is federalization or implementing a Parliamentary form of government so that each region in the Philippines are independent and manages their own finances and creating oppurtunities within the region. In the end this will curb the exodus to manila coz we have oppurtunity in the provinces. This can also easily pinpoint which federal state is corrupt, doin something, or just sitting it out waiting for a miracle to happen. Those w/c are not progressing obviously are doin something wrong or are corrupt and the national government can focus on this region to be helped and weed out the corrupt officials. This also encourages competition among states, and as we all know competition is good for the economy.

3. Infrastructure - we need a very effective high speed transportation system especially in Luzon and the mindanao island as this are the two big islands. We need a contineuos hidhspeed expressway from tip of north luzon to the bicol provinces ( a real north-south highway) A highway system similar to malaysia's north-south expressway it can take you from singapore to the border of thailand in just 8-10 hours. Mindanao needs 1 too, and the visayas maybe 2nd class dedicated highways for the separate islands and high speed ferry (roll on - roll off ) terminals. Cebu needs a dedicated north-south highway too. To complement this we must also have a high standard high capacity heavy rail system on all the islands. We need a competetive Airline system too (high end and no-frills airlines). So far we are the only SEA country not joining the band wagon of no-frills airlines. And I think all the no-frills airlines in SEA cant come inside philippine air space is coz its being blocked by PAL (Traditional chinese businessman like Lucio Tan cannot thrive in a deregulated business, they only flourish when they are the monopoly).

4. Effective Social Security System - similar to Central Provident Fund (CPF) here in singapore. This really takes care of everything for their citezen, from housing to health care to economic restructuring shares. I would like to address how our SSS and GSIS treats their policy holders. I am so appalled by how they treat someone who applies for a loan, after paying your dues dilligently and u finally decided to take a loan for your housing, they treat you like a rubbish in their offices instead of being entertained coz you are gonna be doin business with them. In singapore ones you decided to take a loan for housing, they treat you like a King and not merely just uutang. They have a very expensive house prices here in singapore compared to the philippines coz of the scarsity of land, but CPF makes it very affordable for them coz their system is carefully studied and very effective.

Theres alot more...but this is what I believe as the few basic pillars to progress, share your ideas and sentiments...hopefully a sane public official actually frequents this site and starts listenin'..... Cheers...

[bustero]

For a poor country like ours it's nice to have all of these but not so easy.

Actually Pag-Ibig in not only like the CPF but patterned after it. This was during Marcos time under the Dept. of Human Settlements, unfortunately during Cory time a lot of agencies and projects got politicized and worse. Right now HDMF(Pag-ibig) is not doing to badly. They're relatively well run, profitable and able to provide anyone house financing as long they are qualified.

[renell]

and... isn't GA connected with the Pag-Ibig?

[thomasian]

It is, I think it is because of Pag-Ibig that units can be paid in installment.

[bustero]

It's actually a Pag-Ibig city which means that there are a certain number of units which must be below their Php2million financing level.

[KulasKusgan]

HDMF's interest rate is much higher than our provident fund.

[bustero]

True but it's lower than the prevailing interest rate locally. Cost of money in Singapore is definitely cheaper. But at least it allows a minimum wage earner to buy a house as long as that person is gainfull employed.

Philippines

THE PHILIPPINE archipelago encompasses a thriving economy, a multitude of vibrant cultures and some of the natural wonders of Asia. Yet, more than four million Filipino families live below the poverty line. Crowded squatter areas proliferate in Metro Manila and other urban centers. The shortage of affordable land and a fast-growing population thwart efforts by government and private-sector housing effort to tackle homelessness and poverty housing. In coastal areas, homes may be raised on stilts, but these are often inadequate to withstand severe weather or seasonal typhoons.

Habitat for Humanity Philippines is one of the largest HFH programs in the region. Habitat began in Metro Manila in 1988, and now works in rural and urban areas. “Building in Stages” (“core” houses) and “Row House” designs are the principal models used by the 29 affiliates and 18 satellite groups. Core houses, which can be added to once initial mortgages have been paid down, measure 30 sq. m. and two-story row houses cover some 40 sq. m.

HFH works with microfinance partners to extend its reach. It pioneered “Save & Upgrade” for families in urban areas who own land, but cannot afford to build or upgrade their homes. In response to escalating urban land costs, Habitat has developed three-story, multi-family residences with grant funding from the European Union. The increasing use of interlocking concrete and compressed earth blocks, both of which can be made on site, provide a cheaper and more attractive alternative to normal hollow cement blocks.

HFH Philippines has a large and active volunteer program. It has hosted dozens of international work teams, as well as mobilizing local church congregations and tens of thousands of local students and youngsters for regular “Build on Faith”, youth and other special events such as “Peace Builds” with Moslems in the troubled south. In 1999, HFH Philippines hosted the Jimmy Carter Work Project. This brought together over 14,000 volunteers from all over the world to build 293 houses in a single week.

HABITAT HIGHLIGHTS

§ Disaster response and community transformation initiative project in a fire stricken part of Manila’s port area involves 1,000 families. First homes under construction in mid-2004.

§ Partnerships with other organizations such as the European Union, Asian Development Bank, Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction, HFH Korea, HFH Netherlands as well as government, commercial and other service-oriented bodies.

§ Sixteen Global Village volunteer teams built 22 houses and “Building on Faith” events added 214 houses in 26 sites in 2003.

§ Over 300,000 volunteers have worked on Habitat sites in the Philippines to date.

Gawad Kalinga (GK) , translated in English means “to give care,” and it is an alternative solution to the blatant problem of poverty not just in the Philippines but the world. Its approach is integrated, holistic and sustainable – a concrete action plan to rebuild this nation by harnessing the best of the Filipino – our faith and our patriotism.

What started barely five years ago in the Philippines as a simple but daring initiative by Couples for Christ has now become a growing multi-sectoral partnership driven by a vision of a new Philippines with NO MORE SLUMS. Together with its partners, Gawad Kalinga is now in the process of transforming poverty-stricken areas, many of them now empowered to further improve their quality of life! And the heart-work of GK volunteers is evident in the beautiful colors of the GK homes that have been built for and with the poorest of the poor Filipino families nationwide.

The transformation is astounding. Slums are disappearing. Rich and poor, Muslims and Christians, government and the private sector are building communities together. The poor are re-discovering their dreams, and are being empowered to build a better future for their families. The stories of how not only the poor but also the donors have been transformed continue to grow.

Gawad Kalinga’s achievements are a reflection of the sharing among different classes in society, and the partnership involving all sectors of society – bridging the gaps that divide us as a people. We are also building International Villages, showing that poverty can be addressed if rich and poor nations learn to share resources to create a better world for all.


The GK Model: Transformed Communities

Environmentally Healthy Community
Where the preservation of the environment is as urgent and important as self-preservation. Community members practice proper segregation and waste management, planting of trees and plants to preserve the natural habitat.


Peace Zone
Where community members adhere to common values and live in harmony despite social, cultural or religious beliefs. Conflicts are settled based on the higher interest for the common good, justice and solidarity. Violence and crime are eradicated because community members are gainfully employed and their basic needs are met.


Tourist Spot
Where decent homes and beautiful surroundings become the standard for others to emulate. Brightly colored houses and landscaped environment are the expressions of hope and the transition from “a survival mentality” to living a full life with dignity.


Productivity Center
Where the human and natural resources of the community are developed and tapped to sustain the growth of the community and lead it towards self sufficiency. The poor are partners in development and eventually become “givers” not just “receivers.”


Faith Community
Where there is mutual respect among community members for each other’s religious beliefs. Each one is free to express one’s faith. The community is bound by their common love for God, expressed concretely through their care and value for each other.

Habitat for Humanity Fact Sheet

What is Habitat for Humanity International?
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action.

Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in need.

Habitat has built more than 175,000 houses around the world, providing more than 750,000 people in more than 3,000 communities with safe, decent, affordable shelter. HFHI was founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda.

How does it work?
Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials, Habitat builds and rehabilitates simple, decent houses with the help of the homeowner (partner) families. Habitat houses are sold to partner families at no profit, financed with affordable, no-interest loans. The homeowners' monthly mortgage payments are used to build still more Habitat houses.

Habitat is not a giveaway program. In addition to a down payment and the monthly mortgage payments, homeowners invest hundreds of hours of their own labor -- sweat equity -- into building their Habitat house and the houses of others.

The last one on the list, the Regalia Park Towers, they already started painting the finished tower with peach (looks very classy) while the u/c twin is almost topped off, only 1 storey left to build before top-off.

[SKYLINEPIGEON]

did u watch pipol featuring that young british millionaire who find his peace of mind in the philippines and help built the homes of the poor squatters in payatas

[bagel]

I wonder if a scheme like they have in NY exists in the Philippines. In NYC, whenever land is rezoned for residential development, a percentage of the space opened up is promised to low to lower middle income families.
