It will be a dream come true for about 50 indigent families here as the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) started building decent homes for them on Wednesday.

“Cotabato City is lucky as BARMM poured more infrastructure projects in our area,” said Cotabato City Mayor Mohammad Bruce Matabalao after signing an agreement with the Ministry of Human Settlements and Development (MHSD) for the construction of 50 housing units in Barangay Kalanganan 2 here.

Matabalao said the PHP31.8-million housing project will have units complete with a living room, kitchen, comfort room, and two bedrooms. It will also have ready water and electricity connections.

It is funded through the General Appropriation Act of Bangsamoro 2022.

Since his assumption into office on June 30, Matabalao said the BARMM has pledged about PHP900 million worth of infrastructure projects to the city.

MHSD Director-General Esmael Ibrahim said that aside from a new home, the beneficiaries will also get a certificate of land ownership.

“Itong housing units ay parang 3-in-1 instant coffee, may lupa ka na, may titulo ka na, at may bahay ka na for free (It’s like 3-in-1 instant coffee, you have a house, a land and a title on your own for free),” Ebrahim said.

During the ceremony, MHSD also turned over the check amounting to PHP31,785,700 for the project’s implementation. (PNA)
