Participatory governance encompasses housing initiatives as provided by the Urban Development Housing Act,\u201d said Interior Secretary Ismael Sueno.<\/p>\n<p>The department has also granted eight local government units (LGUs) PHP700 million to build nine micro-medium rise buildings (MMRB), one of which has been turned over to the local government of Pandi, Bulacan last November.<\/p>\n<p>The DILG has approved another 35 People&#8217;s Plans that will benefit 19,491 ISFs, while LGUs are developing eight more micro-medium rise building projects for 2,535 ISFs.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the department channeled PHP350 million to the Social Housing Finance Corp. for the construction of an MMRB for ISFs living in Estero de San Miguel. Sueno noted that the remainder of the fund will be allocated to other People&#8217;s Plans.<\/p>\n<p>The People&#8217;s Plan fund enables LGUs to provide socialized housing sites to ISFs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA \u2013The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) last year transferred 1,393 informal settler families (ISFs) to three &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":85847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,16,95,1],"tags":[13798,13908],"class_list":["post-85845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-news","category-news-ph","category-uncategorized","tag-department-of-the-interior-and-local-government","tag-informal-settler","mauthors-juzel-l-danganan","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
