Surigao City receives land titles for canals, pathways

By Susil D. Ragas

SURIGAO CITY, Surigao del Norte  (PIA) — The city government of Surigao received 19 land titles covering canals and pathways within the Don Inocencio Cortes Homeowners Association Inc. (DICHAI) in Barangay Taft during a recent ceremony turnover facilitated  by the National Housing Authority (NHA) in Surigao City.

Ten titles were issued for canals and nine for pathways, completing the DICHAI community mortgage program.

With the titles now under the city’s name, the city government of Surigao can ensure proper maintenance and protection of these public assets for the benefit of the residents of DICHAI community.

The city government of Surigao continues to work closely with national government agencies and local partners to support, secure and organize livable communities by giving high regard to road responsibility.

The turnover supported Presidential Decree No. 1216, which mandates that open spaces such as roads, alleys, and similar infrastructure in residential subdivisions be turned over to local governments or to the homeowners’ associations.

The said Presidential Decree, signed by then-President Ferdiinand E. Marcos Sr., was  created to maintain a healthy environment in human settlements by providing open spaces, roads, alleys and sidewalks as may be deemed suitable to enhance the quality of life of the residents therein.
