NAGA CITY --- A ground breaking ceremony for the housing projects under the auspices of the Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD) thru the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino program of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will reel off today, March 16, in a 1.2 ha of land inside the Balatas New Development Area (BNDA).

Specifically, the area will be the site of 7 medium-rise housing projects called The Legacy Residences – each to have 12 storeys and will contain160 units – each to have a floor area of 4x6 meters.
