TRECE MARTIRES CITY, Cavite - About 50 families affected by the fire that razed down more than 80 houses in Barangay Sta Cruz 1 in the city of Dasmariñas on April 7, 2021, were recently transported to their new community in St. Mary Magdalene Ville in the coastal municipality of Naic.
The coordination between the city government of Dasmariñas thru the City Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Office (CDRRMO), and the City Social Welfare Development Office (CSWDO) and the municipal government of Naic made possible for the family relocatees to get a chance to have their own decent homes.
Dasmariñas City Mayor Jenny Austria-Barzaga personally came to oversee the orderly transfer of her constituents as she handed each family with financial assistance of P15,000 plus essential goods as they start their new life in the new community.
Likewise, Naic Mayor Junio Dualan was present during the activity to welcome the families to the town and assured LGU's support for their needs particularly in terms of livelihood.
Meanwhile, 40 families still remain in the city of Dasmariñas in which 20 of them are temporarily renting while the other 20 are still sheltered in the covered court.
According to Barangay Sta. Cruz 1 Head Kirby Andrada, the transfer of these families will take about two to three months, thus they will continue in supporting them particularly those staying in the covered court.
In an agreement with the National Housing Authority (NHA), the Naic LGU provided relocation sites for displaced families from neighboring cities and towns in the province, and in NCR who are affected by disasters like fire, typhoons and even for right of way on government projects like road construction and widening.
A unit has a floor area of 36-square meters, and lot area of 40-square meters with pre-approved installation for electric power, water supply, and the required understanding with the NHA.
"Mabuti na rin ito kahit malayo kami sa aming dating pinanggalingan. Mahirap, pero kahit paano ay may masasabi kaming sariling amin," a remark of relief from a mother of a family luckily picked out during the raffle of names for the first batch of relocatees.
