West Visayas regional housing fair '07 up
The Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) will hold the Western Visayas Housing Fair 2007 from October 23-25 at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol Lobby, Bonifacio Drive, Iloilo City, with the theme: "Serbisyong Tapat, abot-Kayang Pabahay Para sa Lahat."
The Fair is also in coordination with other shelter agencies, like the PAG-IBIG Fund (HMDF), National Housing Authority (NHA), National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation (NHMFC), Housing and Land Regulatory Board (HLRB) and other government financial institutions.
The main purpose of the event is the disposition of acquired properties of the key shelter agencies and the government financial institutions at a discounted rate, as well as the newly built housing units of the private developers. The expected target market will include government and private employees and the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW).
Organizers of the Housing Fair are inviting all working sectors, the families of OFWs, barangay officials, teachers and students and LGU representatives, including officers of cooperatives, to visit the event and see the different types and model houses.
Pag-IBIG Fund OIC Branch manager Ma. Lourdes Z. Uy said about 14 private developers will display their program/project packages for sale, and they are expected to present during the technical sessions on the second day.
The Fair will start with a motorcade and opening program on October 23 at the Iloilo Provincial Capitol lobby. (PIA 6)
