Disclaimer: Hindi ako dilawan. Pro Philippines po ako. At, Pro Filipino. Ang paglalahad ng mga accomplishments ng ilang miyembro ng gabinete ni Digong ay nagawa ko na noong Oktubre. Binigyan ko ngayon ng pagkakataon si Leni. Mahigit tatlong oras akong nagbasa at nagsulat at nagtype. Hindi ako bayad dito. Pero para sa bayan, gagawin ko.
Ang saliksik kong ito ay isang malaking pabor ng konsensya ko sa sarili ko para sa mga misinformed, uninformed, nagsusunud sunuran, hindi nagbabasa, mga kulto, mga trolls, mga naka free FB, mga hindi naabot ng edukasyon, mga hindi gumawa ng assignments, mga hindi sineryoso ang thesis at mga nagdudunung dunungan o sabihin na lang nating walang oras magfact check. Mamili ka kung ano ka diyan.
Ilalahad ko ang lahat at kinuha ko ang mga report at datos sa 20 internet references at sources (simula July 1 hanggang sa kasalukuyan) na may kredibilidad. Halos lahat ay nasa wikang Ingles. I suggest, click on all the articles on the links provided below and digest all of them. You'll see. Please share so that we can educate others.
After reading, raise your points and I'll try to answer and tag people who can give insights and excellent inputs.

1. She is finding new partners from the Private Sector in Providing New Classrooms for poor students in far flung areas
RESULT: The Aklat, Gabay at Aruga Tungo sa Pag-angat at Pag-asa (AGAPP) foundation, whose members included graduates from the Ateneo de Manila High School expressed interest in building the proposed 2 storey school building in Punta Tarawal, Calabanga (the smallest, farthest and poorest barangay in CamSur). Also, DILG has allocated 9 M for water facilities for 4 villages, including Calabanga for the intention of providing potable water to the residents. [1]
2. She was cited by Thailand Government as 'Honorary Outstanding Woman in 2016' for her dedication to women in her country, to improve wome's rights and gender equality, including overcoming barriers to be a successful ASEAN woman leader last August 1.[1]
She was also named as the Most Influential Filipina of the World by a non government organization Filipina Women?s Network (FWN) received during the 13th Filipina Leadership Global Summit in Cebu honoring Filipino women whose words, actions and activism inspire others to act and revolutionize society?s way of understanding traditional beliefs and customs, thus leaving behind a Filipino global imprint. [20]
3. She targets to hasten the processing of socialized housing documents from 2 years to just 15 to 30 days. Leni has witnessed a Memorandum of Agreement being signed by SHFC (Social Housing Finance Corporation) and HLURB (Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board) to facilitate government to government transactions to make housing application process faster and more efficient. She also conducted a dialogue with beneficiaries of the Community Mortgage Program (CMP) of the SHCP, a program that is in its 28th year now. Also, she distributed 12 land titles to beneficiaries by visiting Sitio Kalinao, Barangay Luz in Cebu City [2]
4. She pushes for the creation of a Housing Department through an Executive Order by the President.
The Housing Department will aim to address the institutional dilemma of HUDCC since it is just a coordinating council, not a department. In fact, The HUDCC facilitates policies, plans and programs for the housing sectors. It sets the strategies but implementation is in the hands of key shelter agencies under it such as the National Housing Authority (NHA), National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation (NHMFC), Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC), Home Guaranty Corporation (HGC) and Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB). [3]
5. She visited Cagayan, especially the hardest hit, Penablanca Town, and met with LGU leaders to inquire about the damage of Typhoon Lawin. [4]
She also visited Batanes hit by Typhoon Ferdie and offered housing aid [13] and sought emergency meeting with key shelter agencies to discuss how to help rebuild [14].
Visited in Eastern Samar and Leyte [18]
Visited housing sites in Quezon City and San Juan City which were considered as best practices that can be a model to be replicated at a national level. [19]
6. Guest Speaker at the signing of memorandum of agreement for the ?Moving Urban Poor Communities Towards Resilience? Project, a partnership between a consortium of international organizations. She urged local government units to include disaster preparedness and efforts for resilience in crafting their development plans. [5]
7. Visited Agutaya, Palawan, one of the LGUs who took part in #AngatBuhay: Partnership Against Poverty Summit. Due to distance, transportation difficulties, weather conditions and a high poverty incidence, the community is considered as a geographically isolated and disadvantaged area (GIDA). Through #AngatBuhay, they received several pledges from generous organizations to collaborate in addressing education, health & nutrition, and rural development & livelihood. [6]
8. She committed 24 M for Kidapawan City?s indigent housing project. It will assist to support the city government?s initiated housing projects. The initial groundwork is underway for the establishment of LGU Pabahay Program 4 and now ongoing. [7]
9. She called for the suspension of City Resettlement Programs
According to her Leni Robredo, the number of informal settler families climbed to 2.2 million in 2015 from 1.5 million in 2011. From 2011 to 2015, housing backlog reached 5.7 million that poses a challenge to the new administration to build 2,602 homes a day for the next six years.
Most of the national government?s efforts up to this point have focused on off-city housing that has been found out to be ineffective or less than successful. The Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC)?s 2015 accomplishment report indicated 85.54 percent (73,723 housing units) were constructed ?off-site,? while only 14.46 percent (12,464 units) were built in-city or near-city. Because the off-site houses were too far from current places of work or from any employment or livelihood opportunities, many informal settler families refused to occupy them, while others returned to Metro Manila to even less substantial housing opportunities.
The off-city resettlement projects done by NHA mostly are finished dwellings with no access to basic needs like electricity, potable water, schools, and health facilities. As those resettled do not vote in the resettlement sites, the LGUs sometimes are unwilling to provide them with these services as no additional funding are given the host LGUs. Many of these resettlement sites are far from the ISFs source of livelihood and employment opportunities thus many of them re-enter the cities again as ISFs. [8]
10. Transferring office just to save at least 200,000 per month; holding a lot of advocacy meetings [9] opening the office for consultations.
11. Identifying the need to expedite housing projects for victims of Yolanda, calling for an audit and coordinating with the President to set a meeting with concerned agencies.
FACT: 205,00 houses are targeted to be built, 25,000 houses were completed but only 2,500 were occupied. Robredo also recommended several names for the appointment of heads of some key shelter agencies. [10]
As of Sept. 30, the agency said 29,661 houses were finished, 20,287 were partially completed and only 4,278 have been occupied. Sen. Loren Legarda said the government had not released P20.7 billion allocated for housing assistance as of June this year by the Aquino Administration. [11]
12. With more than 1.5 million informal settler families (ISFs) and 108,000 families in Yolanda-stricken areas still in need of socialized housing, Vice President and Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council Chairperson signs a tripartite deal with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the National Housing Authority (NHA) aimed to fast track the processes in building more permanent houses for the survivors Thursday morning.
The signed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA)?s objectives are to prioritize and expedite the processing and issuance of the Certificate of Tax Exemption for transfers of raw land to NHA intended for socialized housing projects.
Under the Agreement, the BIR commits to eliminate unnecessary documentary requirements needed for it to issue a Certificate of Tax Exemption. [12]
13. Developing a housing program for Indigenous Peoples in the North during her visit in the Mountain Province including budgeting. The visit was her way to gauge the people?s pulse on prevailing issues and her advocacies such as the war against poverty and housing shortage [15]
14. She visited housing for military in Bulacan where she identified that 80% of 4000 units are unoccupied. She conducted consultation with the families and found out that lack of available jobs and poor utilities are main causes why many are not occupying the settlement. [16]
15. Leading and convening thousand of delegates attended by local government officials and civil society representatives; business leaders and urban poor leaders including a Sumilao farmer; and representatives from local foundations and international aid agencies. The summit meeting was billed as Angat Buhay: Partnerships Against Poverty Summit 2016. The goal is to establish an effective and collaborative framework and network aimed at poverty alleviation.
