Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna recently awarded land titles to 184 beneficiaries of the city’s Land for the Landless Programs.
“Nagpapasalamat tayo at pinupuri ang mga residente at neighborhood associations, ang Urban Settlements Office, ang geodetic engineers, at ang heirs ng mga orihinal na landowners. Nangyari ang awarding ng mga titulo dahil sa pakikipagtulungan nilang lahat,” Mayor Honey Lacuna said.
“Housing is a key component of our vision to make Manila livable and whole.”
“We will keep implementing the Land for the Landless Program for as long as the city still has lots to award to waiting beneficiaries because housing is a key component of our vision to make Manila livable and whole,” Lacuna also said.
The awarding of the land titles is the result of years of expropriation proceedings, ordinance approvals, negotiations, lot purchases, and subdivisions.
The biggest batch of land titling involved 133 awardees in Tondo.
The biggest batch of land titling involved 133 awardees of subdivided lots of a 6,619.40 sqm parcel located along Juan Luna Street in Brgy. 158, Zone 14, in Tondo.
The City of Manila bought the property from YK Realty and Development Corporation for P264.776 million.
For the subdivided LICO Estate located at Rizal Avenue Extension in Tondo, a second batch of 24 families received their land titles.
The City of Manila purchased the 2,399.19 sqm parcel LICO estate for about P22.45 million. Land titles for this parcel were awarded to the first batch of 43 beneficiaries.
Some 17 beneficiaries received their land titles for the Fajardo Estate. The lack of a subdivision plan complicated the titling process. The city acquired the parcel way back in 1978.
There were ten more awardees of lots from parcels of four other estates.
