Tagum’s housing efforts impress urban poor czar
Posted on May 03 2011 by City Info Office
The City Government of Tagum’s efforts on urban poor and housing is impressive and worth emulating. This is what the chairman of the Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor Mr. Hernani Panganiban disclosed in his speech before urban poor leaders of Tagum City and some members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod during his visit in the city last April 29, 2011.
 Chairman Panganiban lauded the City Government’s Lingap Pinuy-anan, a brainchild of City Mayor Rey T. Uy, saying that it is a very good framework for other local government units in the Philippines. Lingap Pinuy-anan was launched after Mayor Uy’s inaugural speech last June 30, 2010 when he vowed to uplift the condition of less-fortunate Tagumeños who had unstable housing conditions. “Those who have less in life should have more in government services,” Mayor Uy stressed. Mr. Panganiban later expressed that as long as he is the chairman of PCUP, he will regularly state in his speeches Tagum City’s good practices. “The strong linkage between your executive and legislative departments is unique,” he said, adding that is was his first time to encounter a local government who works hand-in-hand on matters pertinent to the urban poor sector. Mr. Panganiban is visiting cities and municipalities since his appointment by President Benigno Aquino III last January 12, 2011 to see how far and how effective the LGUs are doing in championing the cause of the urban poor. He paid a courtesy call to City Administrator Rafael Abrenica in lieu of Mayor Uy who was in the Island Garden City of Samal attending the National Executive Board Meeting of the League of Cities of the Philippines. City Councilors Nicandro “Nickel” Suaybaguio, who also sits as the Action Officer of Shelter Assistance Program, and Joedel Caasi, also sitting as the Action Officer of Resettlement Anti-Squatting Task Force (RASTAF), shared their inputs on the impact of the program to the constituents of the city who benefited in the program.
