Umulan o bumagyo, may bahay kayo: Isko to prioritize housing distribution, hospital opening

Published Oct 30, 2024 04:06 am

Former Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso on Tuesday, October 29, renewed his promise to give homeless Manileños their own place to live in as he vowed to prioritize housing and medical care improvements for residents if he becomes re-elected as the city's local chief executive.

“Ipamimigay ko na yung Pedro Gil Residence, San Lazaro Residence, saka San Sebastian Residence. Tatlong 20-storey yung ating in-city vertical housing program. Gusto ko, kahit papaano, umulan o bumagyo, magkaroon man ng delubyo, may mauuwian ang bawat pamilyang Manileño na walang sariling bahay. ‘Yun talaga ang unang-una kong gagawin (I will donate the Pedro Gil Residence, San Lazaro Residence, and San Sebastian Residence. Our in-city vertical housing program consists of these three 20-storey buildings. I want to make sure that despite of rains, typhoons, or any other calamity, each Manileño family has a place to go home to. This is my number one priority)," Domagoso said in an interview.

During his tenure as the city's mayor, Domagoso led the construction of six in-city vertical housing projects: the Tondominiums 1 & 2, Binondominium, San Sebastian Residences, San Lazaro Residences, and Pedro Gil Residences.

Before the end of his term, units in Tondominium 1, Tondominium 2, and Binondominium were already distributed to qualified Manileños.

Domagoso had also completed the Basecommunity project, a 229-unit in-city horizontal public housing development in Baseco, Port Area, providing homes for 229 families.

Hospital for everyone

Apart from his housing initiatives, Domagoso also said that he will prioritize healthcare improvements in the city, first by opening the former Pres. Corazon Aquino Hospital and now Pres. Corazon Aquino General Hospital located in Baseco.

"Parati ko pong sinusulong ang aksyon sa pagtugon ng basic needs ng ating mga kababayan. Noong ipinatayo natin ang Basecommunity, naisipan din nating gumawa ng isang pasilidad na kukumpleto sa mga pangangailangan ng mga residente nito (I have long been promoting urgent action on the basic needs of our countrymen. When we built Basecommunity, we decided to create another facility that will complete the basic needs of its residents)," Domagoso said.

"Ito ang pagpapatayo ng President Corazon C. Aquino General Hospital sa loob mismo ng Baseco Compound. Three years ago po ay ating sinimulan ang construction nito upang maging katuwang ng lungsod sa pagbibigay ng serbisyong medikal sa mga taga-Baseco (This led to the construction of the President Corazon C. Aquino General Hospital located inside Baseco Compound. We have started the hospital's construction three years ago on October 18, 2021, with the sole purpose of providing quality healthcare to those living in Baseco)," he added.
