00:00As we continue to talk about the actions and programs of local governments against poverty,

00:06let us know the steps they are taking for those in need.

00:10Here in the National Anti-Poverty Commission Action Against Poverty.

00:15We will now talk live with Atty. Joselito V. Conejero,

00:29the officer-in-charge of the Housing Community Development and Resettlement Department of Quezon City LG

00:35to talk about their programs on housing,

00:39and how the convergence and cooperation between agencies and organizations of Quezon City LG

00:46will benefit them.

00:48Good morning to all of you. Welcome to Rising Central Philippines.

00:51Good morning, sir.

00:52Atty. Jojo, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority,

00:56the poverty incidence of Quezon City was only 0.7% in 2023.

01:03This is already very low compared to the national poverty incidence of 15.5%.

01:08As one of the LGUs that has reached the single-digit poverty incidence,

01:13what are the main programs of Quezon City that are a big part in reducing the poverty rate?

01:21Sir Audrey, the priority of our city, under the leadership of our Mayor, Mayor Joy Belmonte,

01:27are the programs that address poverty,

01:29such as access to education,

01:31providing support to our students and facilities,

01:35and expanding our Quezon City Scholarship Program.

01:39There is also the provision of safety, quality, and affordable housing.

01:45And we also expanded the QC.

01:47And our Mayor will do this because he is the right and upright government.

01:52So these projects are enough to reduce the poverty incidence?

01:57Yes, sir Audrey.

01:58Our Mayor and our city are doing everything to support,

02:02especially those who are marginalized and those who are affected by poverty.

02:09Atty. Jojo, how many people live in Quezon City?

02:13And how many poor families are affected by the 0.7% poverty incidence?

02:19According to the latest data, the population of Quezon City is 3.1 million.

02:25And the 0.7% is the data of 4,000 families.

02:31So it is also there in our informal settler families.

02:36I grew up in Quezon City.

02:38And when I was young, I remember that I also saw a lot of informal settlers.

02:43Part of the solution to address poverty is the issue of housing.

02:49So according to the Quezon City LGU, how many informal settlers are left in the area?

02:56Our data says 214.

03:00So if we multiply this by 5, it's 1 million.

03:04So 30% of the population of Quezon City is in informal settler families.

03:09But that doesn't mean that they are the poor.

03:11They are the only people who are living in poverty.

03:17How will the local government address this?

03:20Quezon City is almost full.

03:23There are no vacancies for people to move in.

03:26What our city is doing now is to build high-density housing.

03:30Mid-rise to high-density housing.

03:32So that more units can be generated.

03:35And more local residents can benefit from this program.

03:41What are the projects of the Quezon City LGU that address the right to adequate housing?

03:47Or the right of Filipinos who are poor to adequate and decent housing?

03:52Because we have a lot of countrymen who are in poverty.

03:56They have no information about this.

03:58They don't know who they will approach.

04:00Are we qualified for this?

04:02Our city now, Quezon City, is implementing a rental housing option.

04:07All of our houses are rentals.

04:09Where there is a minimum value of Php 800 per month.

04:14Where they can help our office, the Housing Community Development and Settlement Department.

04:21So that we can qualify them as beneficiaries of our houses.

04:25And our city is also strengthening our direct sale.

04:28The land acquisition.

04:29Where the private landowners who are willing to sell their property in Quezon City.

04:33Quezon City is buying that land.

04:35And our city is raising funds.

04:37So that our citizens can buy the land that they own.

04:45Okay, Atty. Jojo.

04:46For those who are interested in becoming a beneficiary of this.

04:52Can you describe some of the housing projects in Quezon City?

04:56Including the in-city resettlement programs.

04:59And other housing projects.

05:00For now, we have houses in Barangay Malingasa.

05:04Barangay Baysa.

05:05Barangay Mayatas.

05:06And Barangay Pagpag.

05:07And in our latest development.

05:10We are helping the private sector.

05:13The Quezon City Government bought the Urban Deca Homes Commonwealth.

05:16Where there are 2,669 units.

05:20That were allocated for our citizens and government employees.

05:24So you also have partners, right?

05:26Yes.

05:27So that is what we will talk about today.

05:28How is the convergence of different stakeholders?

05:33Like the National Government.

05:35Urban Poor Organizations.

05:36And the private sector that you mentioned earlier.

05:38In helping to address the housing issues in Quezon City.

05:43Our local housing board was strengthened.

05:46Where the members of our local housing board are the Urban Poor Organizations.

05:51In the 6 districts of our city.

05:54There are also members of the National Government Agencies.

05:56PCUP.

05:57Commission of Human Rights.

05:58Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development.

06:01Are members of our local housing board.

06:03There are also members of non-governmental organizations.

06:05Like Commonwealth Diversity.

06:07Kinos Maralita.

06:08National Real Estate Association.

06:10Subdivision in Housing Association.

06:14How do you monitor this as an LGU?

06:21Is there a standard that you want to give to the beneficiaries?

06:27Our local housing board has regular meetings.

06:31And there are also special meetings.

06:33To discuss with the police.

06:35About the housing program of our city.

06:38That is where we can see.

06:40That is where they give suggestions.

06:43And we follow their suggestions.

06:46One important thing to talk about.

06:48This information drive.

06:50Like what I said earlier.

06:52Sometimes there are beneficiaries who are entitled here.

06:56But they don't know.

06:58So how do you send your constituents to Quezon City.

07:04To let them know.

07:05That they can avail this benefit from the local government units.

07:09Our city has services.

07:12Where our office is also there.

07:14The Housing Community Development and Resettlement Department.

07:17We also help.

07:19Our office is there.

07:20So that they can get the information.

07:22And they can also.

07:24Our office is always open.

07:26So that they can go and inquire.

07:28In the third floor civic center.

07:30Inside Quezon City Hall.

07:32For the knowledge of our countrymen.

07:34Who are interested.

07:36Especially for Filipinos.

07:38To have their own home.

07:40Who are the priorities.

07:43That women can give.

07:45Our first priority.

07:47Is to have a first time homeowner.

07:49Who doesn't have a property here in our city.

07:52And second.

07:53Resident of Quezon City.

07:55Those are our two main requirements.

07:59You are a first time.

08:01And you don't have land or house here in our city.

08:04How about the amount of income that he has.

08:07Because we are implementing rental housing.

08:11What we are doing.

08:13We don't look at the income.

08:15Because it's 800 pesos.

08:17But if you have income.

08:19We are helping.

08:21In the program of Pambansang Pabahay.

08:23For the Filipino family.

08:25Where that is ownership.

08:27We are giving that to the Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development.

08:30For their beneficiaries.

08:32Who need to love their members.

08:34There are news that we are also abusing.

08:39This program of the government.

08:41Some are selling.

08:43Some are renting to others.

08:45They are making a living.

08:47What are you doing.

08:49To avoid.

08:51The use of the poor.

08:55Of our fellow countrymen.

08:57To abuse in this program.

08:59Or project of the government.

09:01Part of our social preparation to them.

09:03And before they enter our house.

09:05They will be signed to the guide of housing.

09:08It is written in our guide.

09:10That it is prohibited to rent.

09:12It is prohibited to sell.

09:14And you need to live by yourself.

09:16Our estate management is also regular.

09:18Where our people in the office.

09:20They are regularly visiting the houses.

09:22And asking.

09:24Who are the residents.

09:26If we see that there is a violation.

09:28We refer this to our city legal department.

09:30To be able to file.

09:32Regarding the complaint.

09:34Against them.

09:36For example.

09:38A resident of Quezon City.

09:40He became qualified for housing.

09:42For example.

09:44How many years.

09:46How many months does he need to wait.

09:48For him to have his own house.

09:50That's why we made an online application.

09:52Where all the applicants.

09:54We put it in our data bank.

09:56It's like in the data bank.

09:58Once we have it.

10:00Once there is an available house.

10:02There are many.

10:04There are many who complain.

10:06Why they are not called.

10:08We do not call them yet.

10:10Because it is not yet available.

10:12But once it is available.

10:14Then we release the information.

10:16That the raffle will start.

10:18For the selection of our beneficiaries.

10:20And that's where we start.

10:22The consultation with them.

10:24Well, Atty. Jojo.

10:26Thank you very much.

10:28And we look forward to your other projects.

10:30For the welfare of our countrymen.

10:32There.

10:34I hope.

10:36We learned.

10:38Do not abuse the projects of our government.
