COTABATO CITY – Lamitan City government has started constructing some 23 houses for residents who won in a raffle during the recent Yuletide Season and Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Mayor Roderick Furigay told reporters Friday, February 24, that 17 of the houses and lots were raffled from December 21, 2022, to January 6, 2023.
Three of the 17 raffle winners, Salwa Aukasa, Sikal Ismael, and Sabtila Iting, were grateful to the local government unit for the house and lot they won each in a series of draws during the Yuletide Season.
“This is a gift from Allah that we received through our LGU,” Aukasa said.
Three city government employees, Ella Mae Gafud, Noraida Hakim, and Edgardo Lisama Francisco, shall soon have their fully-built houses too that they won in a raffle during their December yearend thanksgiving gathering hosted by Furigay.
The Lamitan City LGU had earlier constructed 51 houses in Barangays Maganda and Balobo for homeless families and other beneficiaries whose homes were built on lands they do not own.
Last February 14, Hermisa Garcia, Armin Perez, and Jim Abasal of Barangays Malakas, Colonia, and Campo Uno, respectively, each won a house and lot in a Valentine’s Day raffle the office of Furigay facilitated.
“My family is happy with this prize that I won during the Valentine’s Day raffle,” Garcia said. (JOHN UNSON)
