The President first launched the Integrated Infrastructure for Housing and Sustainable Community spearheaded by the provincial government of Camarines Sur. Immediately after, he went to Bgy. Balatas in Naga City to break ground for the city’s Legacy Residences Development Project.
The two housing projects were the first in Bicol region under the Marcos administration’s flagship “Pambansang Pabahay” designed to build 1 million housing units every year in the next six years.
The Camarines Sur provincial government’s housing project targets 12, 960 units in a six-hectare land along Panganiban Drive also in Naga City. Based on the presented plan, the area will have five mid to high-rise residential and four commercial buildings.
