Quezon City is thelargest of Metro Manila's citiesin population and land area. At160 square kilometers, it is anurban landscape spread over one-fourth of the Philippines'Metro Manila area. TheQuezon Memorial Circle inDiliman, located at the center of southern Quezon City, iswhere many governmentoffices are located, including

the City Hall. Diliman is alsohome to the main campus of the University of thePhilippines. Far Eastern

University's Institute of Technology (now FEU-FERN College), a 15-hectarecampus is located on the central portion of Diliman Its expansive lands,reasonably priced real estate, strategic location and large consumer marketare immediate plus factors for businesses. Its large consumer markets and manpower pools haveattracted close to 57,000 business establishments to locate in Quezon City. Finding the city a cost-effective location is business process outsourcing (BPOs) companies, who find real estate values verycompetitive and areas available for business very expansive. Among the ICT companies that havechosen to expand in Quezon City are IBM, eTelecare, Convergys, SITEL and Sykes Asia. Most people inQuezon City and nearby cities visit La Mesa Eco Park. La Mesa Eco Park is located within La MesaWater Shed which has an area of 2,700 hectares where you can enjoy fishing, swimming, boating andhaving picnic with your family with a good ambience coming from the trees covering the park. Another site to visit is the Quezon Memorial Circle built in memory of President Manuel L. Quezon, the firstpresident of the Philippines. Like the La Mesa Eco Park, it also has a good place to enjoy with your family where you can enjoy biking, picnic and other recreational activities.

Quezon City is currently being developed to accommodate business establishments offering callcenter jobs. To its people, working on a construction is one way of earning for their families. A very goodexample is the Nicasia Village where most of its residence working as construction workers, masons,carpenters, welders, electricians, plumbers, painters and laborers. Due to high cost of living even mothersgo to work to help their husbands.

SITE DESCRIPTIONNicasia village is right beside the

boundary of La Mesa Water Shed, where the people in MetroManila get their source of drinkingwater. Located on the westernside are the House of Representatives, wherelawmakers create law for thegreater majority.

Most of the families residing in Nicasia Village earn their livingas construction workers, masons, carpenters, welders, electricians,plumbers, painters and laborers. Due to high cost of living evenmothers goes to work to help their husbands. Since working in a

construction firm is not enough most housewives take their parts inearning for their families. One of the bitter realities is that mostteenagers here could not pursue their schooling after they graduate

from high school. One of thereasons is that their parentscould not afford to send themto college to attain a bachelor’s degree course. The other factor is that they need to work in order to help their families.

Residents of Nicasia Village came from a squatter areain Brgy. Culiat, Quezon City. Most of the houses are built onscrap woods, used tarpaulins and other light materials which caneasily get burned. After nearly two decades of residency, theowner, Mr. Regala decided to take back the land from them for

business purpose. It is therefore good news for the people of Nicasia Village to know that ANCOP will help them the ANCOP way in raising this community with love,peace, kindness and dignity with hopes that having low income doesn’t equate to being homeless at all.

The ANCOP Nicasia Village is one secure place to live for each member of our community. Thebeneficiaries here can now sleep well because they have better houses unlike what they had built before.They could feel safe and secure.

INSPIRING STORY “The road to Nicasia Village”

Some roads are plain and straight.

The families living in Nicasia Village came from a squatter area in Brgy. Culiat, Quezon City. They reside in the land of Mr.Jesus Regala. After two decades of using Mr. Regala’s lot as adwelling place, the families decided to vacate the lot. One of thereasons primarily is that Mr. Regala is willing to help the families to

find relocation and provide financial assistance for every family. Before the requested date of evacuationcame, the officers of the association approached various government agencies related to housing andland resettlement to find site as relocation. They approached the Office of the President, Office of theVice President, National Housing Authority, Urban Poor Affair Office, the Mayor of Quezon City and evenone of the City Councilor to at least find help in availing certain relocation program for the 45 families thatare affected. They received nothing but referrals, requirements and promises. Though the road seems toget rough, the Associations trough the effort of officers & members still stand on its feet. They continue to

find relocation for the 45 families; they travel to the far eastern side of Montalban Rizal, BagumbongCaloocan City, San Bartolome and in Bag-bag located in Novaliches, Quezon City. Due to limited budgetthe officers & members share expenses to fund their relocation projects for the logistic and other expenses since financial assistance promised by Mr. Regala will be provided only when the lot is clear.

In October 2006, one month before the day of agreed evacuation, the families must leave the lot.Otherwise all the benefits Mr. Regala promised will be forfeited and might lead to a violent demolition.The benefits includes financial assistant to every beneficiary, expenses use to transfer personalproperties from Brgy. Culiat to a new relocation area and other expenses related to the relocation of members.

The deadline gets nearer and still the families did not have any relocation site. Until they metBrother Louie Gonzales, a member of Couples for Christ and a Cluster head in Novaliches Chapter,Quezon City, a CPA and a license broker (land). Brother Louie helped them find a relocation area inPasong Tamo, the transaction came fast and they found a solution for their problem. The dialogue came

next between the land owner, Mr. David Puzon, UPAO and the Association. They visited the site and theentire members have the same consensus of choosing the land as relocation. The day before theagreement of memorandum signing came; a message was received that someone from the governmentpanel was canceling the transaction. They went home with heavy hearts. It was hard for the officers of the associations to accept the fact that this project had been cancelled with a question of why somebodywould try obstructing it. The officers still supported the logistics of mobilization and recall all the hardshipthey did to finalize this project like walking few kilometers under the sun because they were out of funds.

One week before the deadlines, the officers decided to work aggressively because they knew that this istheir last chance. They went to Doña Nicasia with some of officers and some members. They met Ms. Lourdes ZaraVelasco. They complied with every document necessary for the transactions to materialize, they even meet as often

MOA SIGNING WITH Q.C. MAYOR SONNY BELMONTE COUNCILOR WINNIE CASTELO & JRHOA OFFICER

As necessary. They had secured every legal document just to make sure that there will be no more problemafterward. Finally the Association and Ms. Lourdes Velasco agreed & signed the Memorandum of Agreement,

witnessed by Hon. Mayor Felicaiano Belmonte and Hon. Councilor Winnie Castelo. Thank God for her kindness after all, the benefits that the owner promised were not set aside & it did not result to violentdemolition.

The next thing which happened was history. The 45 families moved to Doña Nicasia but theproblem is always there, while they were moving, the barangay chairman was ordering for the stop of mobilization for some reason. The officers called the secretary of Mayor Taddy Palma of Quezon Cityand he subsequently ordered the barangay officials to assist the45 families in continuance of building their relocation.

The road to Doña Nicasia seems to be rough and has alot of obstacle, but with the determination of its leaders to stand asone and to continue their goal of securing its member with a better relocation were all done for a price of their dream. We thank God,that we were given this opportunity. We met bro. Rhedgy Holeroas a full time worker Volunteer, Bro Ernestito Domingo, Unit headof CFC UP Chapter North B-5, Bro. Alex Cabason and Bro. Ed

Mission. We learn the bayanihan ways of building houses in TreceMartires Cavite & Molave, QC.
