House Bill No.

Introduced by Honorable Joseph Gilbert F. Violago

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The right to a decent housing of every Filipino is enshrined in our Constitution, Section 9 of
Article Xill states that “the State shall, by law, and for the common good, undertake, in cooperation
with the private sector, a continuing program of urban land reform and housing which will make
available at affordable cost decent housing and basic services to underprivileged and homeless
citizens in urban centers and resettlement areas.” This is one basic need that every Filipino family
hopes to achieve - a decent home they could call their own. While there are many government
programs being implemented to address this problem, still, it is not enough to cope with the
increasing demand for housing units. Aside from financing, the lack of available land for residential
purposes also poses a big stumbling block to fully implement housing programs.

Hence, this bill to identify and declare all disposable government lands which have
remained idle and suitable for residential purposes, to develop the same into socialized housing
site for low salaried government and private employees and squatters as well.

Approval ofthis Bl is earnestly enjoined.

House BILLNo,_ 2818

Introduced by Honorable Eric Owen G. Singson, Jr.

Explanatory Note

During the last elections, the candidates in unison stressed the need to improve the
government’s housing program in order to make available at affordable prices decent
housing and basic services to poor and homeless families all over the country.

The acute housing problem compounded by indiscriminate squatting in the urban
areas necessitates a forward-looking approach to answer this basic need of the people.

This bill seeks the declaration of all idle public lands that have remained idle and
suitable for residential purposes so that they may be developed into socialized housing
for low-salaried government and private employees and squatters. The National Housing
Authority is proposed to take over the said idle public lands for development into a
residential project to be reserved for the purpose.

Since the objective of providing decent homes for our people is very close to the
hearts of the new administration as well as the opposition, I earnestly hope for the
approval of this bill.

HOUSE BILL NO. _~~ 290?

Introduced by Hon. Winston “Winnie” T. Castelo

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Perhaps, the overarching provisions in the Constitution supportive of this
proposed bill are Section 9 and 10 of Article XIII which states that:

“Sec. 9 The State shall, by law, and for the common good, undertake, in
cooperation with the private sector, a continuing program of urban land reform
and housing which will make available at affordable cost decent housing and
basic services to underprivileged and homeless citizens in urban centers and
resettlement areas. xxx"

This is consistent with the broader social justice and human rights
provisions of the fundamental law.

Against this constitutional backdrop alone, there ought to be a continuing
espousal of legislative measures designed to address the problem of housing for
the underprivileged if not for the homeless whose number-er_population has
swelled through the years making the problem a constant menu inthe country's
development agenda.

Thus, consistent with a rationalized land use plan, housing for the
raat could be set aside from governmi pnt-owned lands for homeless

House Bill No, __ 3049

Introduced by Hon. Rodolfo G. Biazon

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The housing needs of the underprivileged and homeless in our country is
a problem that continuously paints a stark picture for our country onomic
managers, and housing czars.

While the 1987 Constitution provides a mandate that seeks to address this
ever-growing problem, each administration, faced with the perennial problem of
budget deficit that in turn threatens the provision and administration of social
benefits to its citizens, is beset with the dilemma of how to allocate its meager
resources for this purpose, especially for those who need it most.

Article 13, Section 9 partly reads, “The State shall, by law, and for the
common good, undertake, in cooperation with the private sector, a continuing
program of urban land reform and housing which will make available at
affordable cost decent housing and basic services to underprivileged and
homeless citizens in urban centers and resettlement areas.”

The State, in its desire to pursue the development of our country, has
embarked on an unprecedented program of developing certain areas for priority
development. This involves the identification of certain areas as “growth
centers” for industrial, commercial and similar forms of development. The
program includes the alienation of govermment-owned lands in favor of private
individuals and entities for purposes of developing such lands into industrial or
commercial centers.

Our country is fast running out of available residential land for its huge
and ever-increasing population. The government has to pursue a rational land


use plan that will entail the rational allocation of the government’s scarce land
resources to include housing for the underprivileged.

This bill seeks to require the setting aside of a portion of government-
owned lands that are to be disposed of for purposes of developing “growth
centers” in the country for the development of socialized housing projects for
the benefit of the underprivileged and homeless Filipinos.

In view of the foregoing, early passage of this bill is earnestly urged.
