MALABON City Mayor Jeannie Sandoval vowed to provide more and improved housing projects for the security and safety of more Malabuenos as the city government completed almost 50 percent of its first socialized housing project Barangay Tinajeros last 2024.

“Ang mga proyekto pong ito na sisiguruhin nating maipatutupad ngayong taon ay bahagi ng ating layunin na lahat ng Malabueno ay mayroong mga tahanang malinis at may dignidad.,” the Mayor said.

The City Engineering Department said that it made significant progress on the construction of the 11-storey Libertad 1 mid-rise housing project (Building B) on Sisa Ext., Barangay Tinajeros. The project will soon provide about 88 housing units to Malabuenos.

It said that as of Dec. 26, 2024, it completed bored pile works and the project is now in its steelwork phase where the installation of steel columns on the first eight floors is ongoing and the installation of other equipment and other materials on-site and cabling are currently being conducted in the area.

In October last year, the City Housing and Urban Development Department (CHUDD) launched the city’s Socialized Housing Application where over 18,000 Malabueños pre-registered online signifying their interest to apply. As of Dec. 31, the CHUDD received 911 applications with supporting documents.

A help desk that assists Malabuenos regarding the documents required for their application was also placed in the lobby of city hall.

Meanwhile, City Administrator and City Housing and Urban Development Department (CHUDD) concurrent head Dr. Alexander Rosete shared that since the creation of the CHUDD in 2023, it has actively identified, monitored, and inspected lands owned by the city government for more housing and lot allocation programs.

“Sa pagpasok ng taong 2025, mas pagbubutihin pa natin ang ating nasimulan tungo sa layunin ng ating butihing Mayor Jeannie Sandoval na ang mga Malabueno ay mas maayos na tirahan para sa mas magandang kinabukasan para sa lahat,” Dr. Rosete said.
