BACOLOD CITY, Philippines — After meeting with concerned officials, around 1,000 informal settlers led by the militant Kalipunan ng Damayang Mahihirap (Kadamay),who camped out at a government housing project in this city left on Friday.

Susan Nonato, National Housing Authority (NHA) architect and head of the project implementation team of the Armed Forces of the Philippines-Philippine National Police, stressed that the units Kadamay is targeting have been awarded to uniformed personnel.

Nonato said Kadamay should submit a list of its members and go through the process if they want to avail themselves of housing units.

Kadamay members brought some of their personal belongings and their children when they stormed an NHA project in Barangay Felisa on Thursday.

The P360-million project was completed in 2015. At least 1,498 units were awarded to police and military personnel.

Mayor Evelio Leonardia said the city government would apply for a loan to develop an area in Barangay Vista Alegre to provide housing for informal settlers.
