Hon. Mayor Chiquiting Sagarbarria did not miss the launching of the Pabahay Caravan Program held at Blue Hotel in Cebu City last Feb.16, 2011. The program is the initiative of Vice President Jejomar Binay, in coordination with Pag-ibig Fund, along with their advocacy Pabahay, Gaganda Ang Buhay.
If you could remember in one of our tidbits, Mayor Sagarbarria, along with his legal officer and City Administrator went to Makati City for a courtesy call with Vice President Binay regarding the 500 misplaced families in the city of Dumaguete who have been forced to put shanties along the shorelines and in the riverside, and squatting in other people’s properties.
The Mayor’s good intention is that our brothers and sisters in Dumaguete who are deprived of a conventional home, especially those dwelling in cariton (push carts) can enjoy the right to a decent shelter, and uplift their way of existence by owning a lot and a house they can call their own.
Hopefully, the nationwide Pabahay Caravan Program by Vice President Binay would finally address one of the major problems of our City, and eventually, there would be no more squatters and the so-called “misplaced families.”
As expected, Mayor Sagarbarria brought home the bacon!
