Prior to the inspection, the beneficiaries attended a pre-move-in orientation seminar to review the guidelines and policies that will be implemented. The seminar took place on the ground floor of Building 1.

“Andam na gyud pag-transfer. Naa lay gagmay nga akoang nakit-an basin atoang iapas ang mga improvements. Usa ni sa paghatag og disenting pinuy-anan sa atoang mga kaigsuunang Mandauehanon,” said Cortes.

Building 1 was funded by the city government with a budget of P160 million, while Building 2 was donated by Cebu Land Masters Inc. in compliance with the Socialized Balance Housing Act.

Both buildings have five floors, with each unit having a floor area of 25 square meters and common areas.

The total number of beneficiaries for the two buildings is 194.

They are scheduled to be transferred in the third week of August.
