MANILA — President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has issued a proclamation reserving a portion of land in Tondo, Manila for ownership and development by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD).
Proclamation No. 610 was issued by the President on June 21 upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
It amends Proclamation No. 96 (s. 2001) by excluding a certain portion of the land, identified as Lot 4-A, Csd-00-003715, located in Tondo, Manila, allowing DHSUD to own it and carry out urban development subject to final ground survey.
The President’s proclamation, signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, authorizes the Environment Secretary to issue the corresponding Special Patent covering the area reserved for DHSUD’s township development projects.
The issuance also creates a Project Inter-Agency Committee (PIAC) chaired by DHSUD, with the DENR and the City Government of Manila as members.
The PIAC shall formulate and issue the Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Proclamation, and identify the beneficiaries of the housing component of the township development. (PND)
