True to its name, the Bayanihan GK Village in Trece Martirez City, Cavite is a venue for the bayanihan of partners from different sectors, including top condo developers as part of their Board of Investments (BOI) requirement. The partnership of the BOI and Gawad Kalinga came about in 2011 when the BOI accredited GK as a conduit for the compliance of registered vertical housing developers to develop socialized housing. Through this scheme, developers can accomplish their socialized housing requirement with the BOI by directly contributing resources to GK to build decent homes for poor Filipino families.
Last June 7, 2013 ten homes provided by Cityland, Inc. have been turned over to the beneficiaries. The company also contributed the 11.49 hectare land where the new community is being built. The property is designed to have around 500 families call it home, as well as community facilities such as a playground, multi-purpose hall, livelihood area, youth center and even a public school as a project of the local government. Federal Land and Anchor Land also took action in helping the BOI and GK build communities. Posh Properties Development Corporation and Admiral Realty Company Inc, both under Anchor Land, also gave funds for 30 homes and part of the multi-purpose hall last July 2012. They have added 110 homes to the community last May 2013. The groundbreaking was also held last June 7 together with the turnover of houses from Cityland Inc.
Another partner that came in was Berjaya Philippines, who is already building communities in various locations around the country, including a Muslim-Christian community in Basilan and a community for the survivors of Typhoon Pablo in Cateel, Davao Oriental. Last December 6, 2013, we held the turn-over ceremony of the Berjaya GK Village in Trece Martirez, Cavite, where another 30 families could start their new life.
