Posted on July 31, 2015

MANILA, July 31 (PNA) — To honor the sacrifices they made in defending the motherland, families of soldiers who have fallen in battle will soon BE getting new homes with the looming implementation of the Killed-In-Action (KIA) Off-Base Housing Program.

Col. Noel Detoyato, Armed Forces of the Philippines public affairs office chief, said that the Presidential Management Staff (PMS) already confirmed with the AFP that the National Housing Authority Board of Directors, per Resolution No. 5914, approved last March 31, the policy on the granting of housing assistance to the families of the AFP/Philippine National Police personnel killed in operations.

In order for the beneficiaries to avail of this, the AFP directed its Major Services to hereby inform all their respective KIA beneficiaries to get in touch with Beth Campanano of the Housing Management Division at Camp Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City for details/processing.

Contact numbers are 911-6001 local 6922/6782 and/or 0917 3909034.

Detoyato said KIA beneficiaries simply have to submit their names, registered mailing address contact numbers and preferred sites among the President Benigno Simeon Aquino III (PBSAIII) Housing sites to the AFP Housing Board for endorsement to the NHA.

AFP chief Gen. Hernando DCA Iriberri expressed his thanks to the national government on behalf of all of AFP soldiers who perished in service of the country and their dependents.

“The AFP considers the program as the government’s way of giving importance and honor to the sacrifices of our fallen soldiers who went beyond their call of duty and paid the ultimate price in service of the country and their fellowmen,” he added. (PNA)
