The Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPRU) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) recently handed over 200 housing units to Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) communities in Sibuco, Zamboanga del Norte.
This initiative is part of the PAyapa at MAsaganang PamayaNAn–Modified Shelter Assistance Program or PAMANA-MSAP which aims to provide decent housing and sustainable livelihood support to MNLF members.
The PAMANA-MSAP is implemented through a partnership between the OPAPRU and the DSWD.
The program includes a cash-for-work component, enabling beneficiaries to earn while participating in the construction of their homes.
“Zamboanga peninsula, ‘yun talaga ang gusto naming targetin ni Secretary Gatchalian dahil nandyan ang mga IPs, ang ating mga brother na Moros—MILF, MNLF at mga isolated-area,” said Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr.
”Yun ang nakikita nating mas nangangailangan ng tulong ng ating pamahalaan,” he added.
Similar housing units were delivered to MNLF communities in Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.
