Victorias City in Negros Occidental on Monday, April 1, unveiled the model unit for the soon-to-rise Sidlak Residential Complex under the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program.
“This is the first housing milestone of the city under the 4PH through the joint venture agreement (JVA) signed between the city government, represented by Mayor Javier Miguel Benitez and developer Scheirman Construction Consolidated Inc. (SCCI),” the city government said in a statement.
The model unit opened by the City Human Settlements and Urban Development Office to the public is patterned from the actual measurements of an individual unit, which is 24 square meters.
It features the recommended layout of the area, which enhances its appearance and efficiently utilizes its spaces, it added.
In his mid-term report last month, Benitez said at least 1,013 employees from the government and private sectors have already applied to own a home in the Sidlak Residential Complex.
“We have entered into an agreement to develop the Sidlak Residential Complex. The settlement will be built near our new development areas,” the mayor said.
The housing project, which will be implemented by the city government in partnership with the Department of Human Settlements ang Urban Development (DHSUD) and the Pag-IBIG Fund, comprises up to 10-five storey mid-rise buildings that will rise inside the Sidlak Village Global City in Barangay XIII.
The city’s JVA with SCCI covers financing, design, construction and development of a mixed-used integrated infrastructure for housing and a sustainable community.
It complies with the memorandum of agreement between the city government, DHSUD and the Pag-IBIG Fund in February last year.
Since last month, the city’s Public Employment Services Office has been assisting SCCI in the hiring of workers for various positions for the development of the Sidlak housing project. ||
