relocated in Muzon, Bulacan last February 28. The relocation was facilitated by
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD), Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC)
and National Housing Authority (NHA).

The 59 families were provided with houses that have space for
a loft in Barangay Muzon, San Jose del Monte City, Bulacan Province. This is a 45
kilometers away from Manila. As of February 5, the relocation site has 3,560
families’ occupants. The site is a 30-hectare resettlement and every house have
an average floor area of 22 square meters and a 40 square meters lot area. The
developer is Lak-K Builders Co. The Muzon resettlement site was allocated for
families living along waterways.
Venus Grecia, an Estero de San Miguel-Legarda settler said,
“We are thankful to UPA and our people’s organization, NML since they assisted
us in our transfer in Muzon. We are very happy that finally we have a place we
can call home.”
