President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo graced yesterday the formal groundbreaking for a housing project in Valenzuela City intended for victims of typhoon Ondoy through the joint efforts of the government and private sectors in the city.

The housing project dubbed Disiplina Village located in Barangay Ugong will allocate housing units to 900 city residents whose houses located in the banks of Tullahan River were destroyed during the Ondoy floodings which hit the metropolis late last year.

Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian said the 1.9-hectare site was provided by the city government while funding for construction materials will be provided by the private sector through the Dakilang Handog Foundation.

The village site will also have a multi-purpose covered court, a day care center, a health center, and a livelihood training center, he added.
