The city government of Davao is targeting to finish the P25-million land development project for the second phase of Los Amigos Relocation Area located in Tugbok District by the second quarter of the year. Roy Ryan Rigor, officer-in-charge of Housing and Homesite Development-City Planning and Development Office (HHD-CPDO), said the development will be on a seven-hectare area that will be become the city’s next relocation site for informal settlers. “Hopefully, if the land development of Phase II is completed we will be able to set up an additional relocation site in the area,” Rigor said. He said the land development project for the second phase of Los Amigos includes the construction of a drainage system and road networks. Rigor said Phase II of the project will have a total of 511 lots with a minimum of 60 square meters and up to 112 square meter lot area located at corner blocks. He said the second phase of the development project for Los Amigos is small compared with Phase 1 which has a total land area of 13 hectares and 832 lots. The total lot area in the first phase’s more than 650 units are already occupied, including the houses constructed by the National Housing Authority (NHA). “The City Government of Davao with its public and private partners are still eyeing to build 150 units of the 832 lots,” he added. Rigor said for the second of the development plan, the city has already partnered with various stakeholders for the construction of houses. However, the Local Housing Board (LHB) will assess the classification of houses that will be allowed to be constructed in the area. Aside from Los Amigos, there are also relocation sites in barangays Catalunan Grande, Tibungco, Mintal, Marapangi in Toril district, Tigatto, Upper Malagamot, Panacan, and Mahayag in Bunawan district that are being filled up with relocated informal settlers from different parts of the city. edgedavao.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19357:p25-m-relocation-site-done-by-2nd-quarter&catid=68:the-big-news&Itemid=96
