Meanwhile, the Quezon City Council has passed a resolution requesting the QC Housing, Community Development and Resettlement Department to conduct a census of informal settlers residing in Hilltop Novaliches subdivision’s open spaces and also in Barangay Greater Lagro.
City Resolution 7458-2018 introduced by Councilor Godofredo Liban III said that for three decades, the intended purposes of the open spaces in Hilltop Novaliches subdivision and in Road 1 cannot be enjoyed by homeowners due to the presence of informal settlers.
The properties are now being occupied by the early occupants, buyers of rights, professional squatters, and tenants.
In January 19, the Board of Hilltop Novaliches Subdivision Homeowners Association, Inc. adopted a Board Resolution No. 00418 series of 2018 entitled, “A Resolution Seeking Favorable Endorsement from the Honorable Councilor Godie Liban in the Conduct of Census of Informal Settlers residing in Hilltop Novaliches Subd. Open Spaces and Road 1 Lot.”
A census of the occupants of the open spaces is necessary to maintain peace and order in Hilltop Subdivision and Road 1.
