DAR Secretary John Castriciones said a two-hectare land will be the pilot site for the housing project under the “Balai Farmers Housing Program,” a partnership with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and other national government agencies.
The proposed P300,000-worth duplex-type housing unit has a 36-square meter floor area, toilet, electrical, and water facilities, as well as tiled floorings and fully painted interior and exterior walls.
“The Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) will have an opportunity to avail of this quality and affordable housing. Through this project, farmers would be able to have modern and decent houses to boost their morale, which may result to better crop yield, income, and quality of life,” Castriciones said.
