President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday led the turnover of 333 housing units to informal settlers in Valenzuela City who previously lived along the Tullahan River and other waterways.

The housing units are located across seven low-rise buildings in Disiplina Village in Arkong Bato.

“Isa sa mga problema na kinahaharap natin ngayon ay ang sunod-sunod na pagulan at pagbaha. Sa tuwing may ganitong panganib, tahanan ang una nating inaasahang masisilungan. Dito dapat ligtas ang ating mga anak, dito dapat tayo nakakapagpahinga nang walang pangamba,” the President said.

He went on: “Dito sa Arkong Bato, itinayo ang Disiplina Village. Ito po ay bahagi ng ating relocation program para sa mga ISFs, kabilang ang mga pamilyang nakatira sa mga lugar na madalas bahain.”

According to Valenzuela City mayor Wes Gatchalian, 5,549 individuals are now living in Disiplina Villages. There are still 3,306 informal settler families living along waterways and other danger zones.
