The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has affirmed that it is expediting the construction of relocation sites in Naic, Cavite, designated for families affected by the construction of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) project.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) said 12 of the 82 three-storey buildings are expected to be completed by December this year.
It added that the 12 buildings can provide housing for 360 families affected by the project.
The funds to be spent for the 82 three-story buildings under the Social Housing Finance Corp. will come from the DOTr.
DOTr Assistant Secretary for Right-of-Way and Site Acquisition IC Calaguas and Naic City Administrator Rodolfo Uy III visited the relocation site and assured that it is complete with facilities.
They also ensured that the site has a school, day care centers, rural health centers, and covered courts.
The DOTr is also set to visit a relocation site for residents affected by the NSCR project in Angeles City, Pampanga, this week.
The 190-kilometer NSCR project from Clark, Pampanga to Calamba, Laguna, is set to be finished by 2032.
