The City Housing Office of the City Government of Puerto Princesa has warned the public anew that they will blacklist individual/s engaged in illegal transactions involving government housing projects.
In its Notice to the Public posted outside the office and also posted in other conspicuous places within the City, it warned the erring individuals that parcel of land or lots covered by the government housing projects are not intended for sale, rental or lease, mortgage, etc.
“Ayon sa RA 7279 na ang lote na ibinigay o ipinagkaloob ng pamahalaan ay para magkaroon ng sariling tahanan ang benepisyaryo kapiling ang mga taong umaasa lamang sa kanya at hindi ito ibinigay upang ipagbili, ipaarkila, isanla o ipahiram sa iba,” it warned.
It further said that those person or persons found violating existing laws will be outrightly blacklisted and can no longer avail of any government housing projects.
“Ang sinumang masusumpungan na lalabag sa patakarang ito ay mapapabilang sa mga blacklisted o mga taong hindi na maaring magkaroon pa ng lupa sa proyekto ng gobyerno,” the Notice read. The City Housing Office further warned that illegal transactions are considered null and void from the start as provided in the City Ordinance No. 850-2017.
“Ang bentahang isinasagawa sa pagitan ng benepisyaryo at ibang tao ay walang bisa mula sa simula alinsunod na rin sa Ordinansa ng Lungsod ng Puerto Princesa Blg. 850-2017,” the City Housing Office warned.
The Republic Act 7279 (Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992) mandates the local government units (LGU), with the support of the national government, to undertake urban development and renewal, paying attention to underprivileged and homeless citizens.
