President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. inaugurated a socialized vertical housing project in Sta. Cruz, Manila on Thursday.The President hopes the project, which involves a 20-storey building at Alvarez and Quiricada Streets in Sta. Cruz, could be replicated by other local government units (LGUs).San Lazaro Residences will benefit close to 400 families.“Sa lahat ng aming ginawang housing sa national government, lagi po naming sinasabi hindi sapat na magtatayo ka lang ng bahay o magtatayo ka lang ng bahay o magbibigay ka lang ng unit. Dahil ang buhay ng tao ay hindi pabahay lamang,” President Marcos said in a statement. The President thanked Manila Mayor “Isko&quot; Moreno Domagoso, Vice Mayor Chi Atienza, and the City Council for implementing the urban housing ordinance.“Dahil ang ginawa nila ‘yung Manila Urban Housing Ordinance na ginawang opisyal ang pabahay para sa mga mahihirap na Manila resident at empleyado ng gobyerno na Salary Grade 18 at pababa,” he said.“Pagka nakita ng ibang LGU ito, gagayahin ito, asahan mo dahil napakagandang modelo itong ginawa ninyo.”The President commended the Manila LGU for the speedy construction of housing projects.&quot;Kahit hindi national government project po ito ay gusto kong ipakita sa lahat ng taumbayan na ito ang maaari nating gawin,&quot; said Marcos Jr.&quot;Basta&#x27;t maganda ang ugnayan, basta&#x27;t maganda ang pag-coordinate ng national at saka local government ay marami tayong magagawa.&quot;The P1.9 billion housing project aims to provide safe, adequate, and comfortable shelter as well as facilities for underprivileged Manila residents.It was constructed through a loan from the Land Bank of the Philippines. The building has 382 units, each consisting of two bedrooms, a living and dining area, a kitchen, and a toilet and bath.Other amenities and facilities include the Manila Public Health Laboratory, a primary city-level diagnostics, surveillance, and public health support facility; an administration office on the ground floor; a swimming pool; a function room; an outdoor activity area; parking areas; an elevator; and commercial spaces. The monthly contribution of qualified tenants was set at PhP2,000 for minimum wage earners and government workers with Salary Grade 8 and below, and PhP3,000 for those earning above minimum wage and government workers with SG 9 to 18.Other completed in-city vertical housing projects include the Tondominium 1 and 2 in Tondo; Binondominium 1 in Binondo; Pedro Gil Residences in San Andres; and San Sebastian Residences in Quiapo.The Manila city government is also proposing the construction of Binondominium Projects 2 and 3 and the Bureau of Plant Industry in-city vertical housing, with four towers. <div>  </div>
