The City Housing and Urban Development Department (CHUDD) here admitted that several people visited its office and provided information pertaining to alleged anomalies in the city's housing program.
The reports and information received pushed CHUDD to organize a special team to conduct an investigation to address the matter, said Lawyer Samuel Rollo, CHUDD acting department head, in a phone interview with Manila Bulletin on Sunday, March 12.
“Naa pud silay nahibaw-an nga ang nagpapuyo kay opisyal sa ilang homeowners association. Naa silay nahibaw-an nga ang nagpapuyo kay opisyal sa barangay; ug naa pud silay nahibaw-an nga ang nagpapuyo kay sa amo taga opisina also knew that the person who allowed to [illegally] occupy the unit is an official of their HOA. They also knew that a barangay official had allowed it; and they also knew that the person who was allowed to occupy the unit was an employee from our office),” said Rollo.
Rollo said there are 75 housing subdivisions in the city, although the exact number of housing units is not available. However, based on CHUDD’s official website, the city already has 12,463 housing beneficiaries. Cabanlas said he studied the above-mentioned ordinance and he found out there was a lack of teeth as the CHUDD established divisions with no specific functions.During their regular session on Monday, March 6, Cabanlas said he intentionally made a special report on the alleged anomalies in CHUDD to get the support of the city council and obtain the official capacity to invite the concerned officials.
On the other hand, Councilor Jose Pepe Abbu, Jr. also pushed the conduct of inventory on the housing units to determine the number of unoccupied slots, adding that some of the units were already damaged and in bad shape.
