Posted on | February 26, 2011 |
Some 70 soldiers are now proud home owners after the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in the province turned over the keys to their new houses yesterday at Camp Leon Kilat, Tanjay City.
The keys, along with certificates of ownership, were awarded to the soldiers under AFP’s “Kalinga sa Kawal Housing Project” (KKHP).
The housing units are erected on a 7,500 sq. m. lot within Camp Leon Kilat situated in Brgy. Sta. Cruz Viejo in Tanjay City, which is one of 16 housing sites for soldiers nationwide.
According to Maj. Sonny Gonzalez, public information officer of the 302nd Infantry Brigade based in Tanjay City, each housing unit costs P65,000 of which the Armed Forces and Police Savings and Loan Association, Inc. (AFPSLAI) will subsidize P25,000.
“The remaining P40,000 will either be directly paid by the soldier or can be availed through a loan,” he said.
The housing project ws conceived by the Department of National Defense (DND) after it inked a memorandum of agreement with Gawad Kalinga and AFPSLAI on July 16, 2005 as part of the department’s corporate social responsibility.
Col. Manuel Luis Ochotorena, commander of the 302nd Infantry Brigade of the Philippine Army (PA), said the project aims to provide a better quality of life, comfort and security to PA personnel and their families. (RMN/JCT/PIA-7 Negros Oriental)
