Residents affected by the PNR Clark Project call for aid in their relocation

Residents who will be affected by the construction of the PNR Clark Project of the Department of Transportation (DOTr) argued that the project will affect more than 100 homes.

For this reason, they are asking to be relocated and be provided with a livelihood.

“That’s what we are asking for. To have a proper relocation so we won’t be loitering on the streets,” said Marilyn Bakasmo, a local resident of Sitio Bukid Marilao.

“We can’t do anything about it because it’s not ours. We want to transfer to a different home, especially since we are just renting. My husband has no work,” said Rosalia Ensilyada, a local resident.

DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade said the agency will coordinate with local government officials so the affected residents will be transferred to other areas.

“Help us carry out the relocation easily. Help us so that affected residents will comply,” said Tugade.

“The sacrifice we have to make is only temporary, while the convenience that the project will bring is lasting,” he added.

Meanwhile, Bulacan Governor Wilhemilo Sy Alvarado vowed to coordinate with the National Housing Authority (NHA) for the relocation of the informal settlers. — Grace Casin | UNTV News & Rescue
