Construction of 1,250 housing units under the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program (4PH) and the new government center of Victorias City in Negros Occidental is targeted to start in the first quarter of 2024, Mayor Javier Miguel Benitez said on Friday, Dec. 22.
“It will be one of the greenest in the Philippines,” he said.
The first Sidlak Village housing project will be constructed in a “very prime location” beside the city’s government center in Barangay XIII, he said.
The housing project will have 10 five-story buildings targeted to be completed before the end of 2024, he said.
The housing project will also have 32 percent green space for parks and gardens, beyond the 20 percent pushed by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), he said.
It will also have a clubhouse, swimming pool, full size basketball court, tricycle terminal, and parking areas for bikes and cars, he said.
“Our goal is to be the first 4PH housing project to be finished with the last beneficiary inside,” Benitez said.
“All papers are done, we are just finalizing the final design,” he said.
The housing buildings will be close to the government center, a school, clinic, and multi-purpose hall, Benitez said, stressing that it will be a “true, dignified development”.*
