Borongan, Eastern Samar – A senior administration congressman yesterday deplored multi-million peso irregularities in the implementation of the shelter project for victims of super-typhoon “Yolanda,” noting that the housing units were built using substandard construction materials.

Hundreds of government-funded housing units for Yolanda victims will have to be inspected after contractors who won the heavily-financed shelter project have reportedly tapped unqualified sub-contractors to do their job, Negros Occidental Rep. Alfredo “Albee” Benitez revealed.

Ben Evardone na tumatayong Chairman ng House Committee on Banks and Financial Intermedia­ries na magkakaroon ng malalimang imbestigasyon sa Yolanda housing projects at lahat ng nagpabaya at nagsamantala para sa personal na interes ay kanilang pananagutin sa batas.

This was uncovered during a two-day inquiry here by the House of Representatives. The probe ended Friday.

Lawmakers learned that projects have been delayed due to hiring of subcontractors, which also resulted in substandard projects.

Totohanang pabahay

Hala bira!

HABANG lumilipas ang panahon, lumulubha ang problema ng bansa sa kakulangan ng pabahay.

Ang datos noong dalawang taon ang nakakaraan, nasa 5 milyon lamang ang housing backlogs pero ngayon, ang updated numbers ay nasa 6.8 million na.

Ibig sabihin, kung hindi talaga haharapin ng estado ang problema ng squatting, mas tataas pa ang bilang nito sa mga susunod na taon.

Sa ilalim ng Pangulong Duterte na matindi ang political will, naniniwala tayo na sakto at napapanahon ang panawagan ni House committee on housing and urban development chairman, Negros Occidental Congressman Albee Benitez na tayuan na lamang ng pabahay ang nakatiwangwang na 3,419 ektarya ng government lots sa Metro Manila.
