Garcia distributes 400 housing units to Dinalupihan residents

DINALUPIHAN, Bataan – The municipal government here under Mayor Maria Angela S. Garcia is presently distributing housing units for 400 local residents living near river banks, municipal administrator Rolando “Rolly” Rojas told the local press the other day.

Rojas added that Mayor Garcia is now taking steps this early in anticipation of the coming rainy season when hundreds of local residents are usually affected by swollen rivers. 

“Priority shall be given to those who live near river banks,” Rojas said.

Some 1,500 families perennially affected by floods here were recently surveyed but the municipal government will give priority to those living nearest to the river banks.

The housing units are ready for occupancy and power and water systems will be installed once occupied. 

“This is a low-cost housing project where occupants shall be required to pay minimal cost,” Rojas 1Bataan.com.
