The National Housing Authority (NHA) awarded Certificates of Unit Allocation (CUAs) to 10 Navoteño families during the 40th LAB FOR ALL Caravan held at the Navotas City Sports Complex.
NHA General Manager Joeben Tai, together with NCR-North Sector Office Regional Manager Engr. Jovita G. Panopio, led the distribution of CUAs to the beneficiaries.
Of the 10 families, six currently reside along the Malabon-Navotas River in Brgy. San Jose, while the remaining four live along the Manila Bay coastline in Brgy. Sipac-Almacen. These families are among the hundreds set to relocate to Navotaas Homes 3 in Brgy. NBBS, Kaunlaran, Navotas City.
To assist the public, NHA also set up a booth to address inquiries about its housing programs and services.
LAB FOR ALL: Bringing Healthcare Closer to Filipinos
An initiative spearheaded by First Lady Marie Louise Araneta-Marcos, LAB FOR ALL aims to provide essential healthcare services, including free laboratory tests, medical check-ups, dental services, and medication, in support of RA 11223 or the Universal Healthcare Act.
In her speech, the First Lady emphasized the program’s significance in fulfilling one of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s commitments to the Filipino people.
“In my husband’s last SONA, he said, ‘We should bring healthcare services closer to the people and not the other way around.’ That is why we are here—to fulfill his promise,” she stated, adding, “Together, we will rise again for a New Philippines.”
