SAN MIGUEL, Bulacan<\/strong>\u00a0— President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on Wednesday, October 11, led the groundbreaking ceremony of a housing project here for the Scout Rangers.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo by December hopefully, by the grace of God, we will have your units ready,\u201d the President said in his speech. \u201cGeneral Ed Del Rosario, sabi naman ni Housing, he will deliver the houses to you December 2018. So, 2018\u00a0tapos na \u2018yung mga bahay,<\/em>\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The National Housing Authority project, under the AFP\/PNP Housing Program, will provide 1,000 housing units for the members of the 1st Scout Ranger Regiment. The Chief Executive also announced that aside from the houses, the soldiers will also receive PHP70,000.<\/p>\n

The Manila Banking Corporation (Manilabank), Department of Budget and Management (DBM), National Housing Authority (NHA), Pag-IBIG Fund, Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) and the Scout Ranger Multi-Purpose Cooperative entered into an agreement for the development of the 50-hectare portion of the Manilabank property into a housing site.<\/p>\n

A 200-million subsidy fund from the Budget department will finance the construction of the housing project.<\/p>\n

During his speech, President Duterte advised officials to choose durable materials for the housing units, adding that he is interested in the improvement of the quality of fixtures.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I have noticed actually \u2018yung — take note of this, Housing,\u00a0\u2018yung mga<\/em>\u00a0materials\u00a0sa banyo. \u2018Yun ang nagbe-<\/em>break down\u00a0kaagad,<\/em>\u201d he said. \u201cBut I\u2019d like you to choose the durable ones. Wear and tear\u00a0\u2018yan araw-araw. Pati \u2018yung — ang unang nagfa-falter, alam mo?<\/em>\u00a0Flush,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also discussed the various housing projects for government troops in Davao City, Zamboanga City, in Mati, and in Iligan City. President Duterte said he prioritized the housing project for soldiers because their lives are always in danger. \u201cNgayon, sabi ko… Bakit ko kayo inuna? Matagal ako sa gobyerno. Ang tatay ko was once upon a time a JAGO during war,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd used to say that he was also governor of Davao.\u00a0Inuuna niya dahil ang sundalo pati pulis<\/em>, on the average — do not be offended —\u00a0medyo nasa delikado na sitwasyon<\/em>\u00a0everyday\u00a0sa buhay nila<\/em>,\u201d the President explained.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive also announced that 5,000 units of Kalashnikov rifles from Russia will arrive for the government forces. \u201cAs part of the\u2026\u00a0\u2018Yung dala ko galing<\/em>\u00a0Russia,\u00a0pumunta kami<\/em>\u00a0almost just below 24 hours. We will have the Kalashnikov so it\u2019s just a matter of using the — memory\u00a0lang \u2018yan,<\/em>\u00a05,000,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

He also discussed in his speech the proposal to put on lease properties of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). \u201cDoon na kayo kumuha ng<\/em>\u00a0incremental increase\u00a0ninyo<\/em>, plus the additional — \u2018yung<\/em>\u00a0appropriation\u00a0ng gobyerno sa<\/em>\u00a0budget. Then you have the income from the —\u00a0\u2018yung propedad ninyo, \u2018yun<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
