I The Sangguniang Bayan (SB) of Buhi has launched an inquiry into the ₱multi-million National Housing Authority (NHA) project in Barangay De La Fe following reports that many of its units remain unoccupied, unfinished, or lacking basic utilities.

During its September 8 regular session, the council adopted the report of Councilor Marlon Tabalde’s Committee on Housing and Land Utilization, which recommended a joint inspection with NHA officials, the project contractor, and concerned LGU offices.

According to NHA representative Engr. Cristina A. Cabaulan, the project began in 2020 and covers 905 housing units, now at 87% completion. Originally set for a 690-day contract period, construction was delayed due to the pandemic and work suspensions.

At present, only 34 families—mostly flooding victims from Barangay San Buena—are occupying units in the site, despite the absence of power and water supply. The contractor, Granby Trading & Construction, has committed to turning over 100 completed units by the end of September.

Vice Mayor Christian Echipare revealed that electricity was once installed in the site but was cut off due to unpaid bills amounting to ₱200,000.

Municipal Engineer Benjie Arcilla confirmed that while NHA secured all necessary building permits, key documents related to the project were not properly turned over by former Municipal Engineer Herminio Odiada.

Meanwhile, a Good Morning Buhi News site visit found several unoccupied housing units already showing signs of deterioration, raising further concerns about the long-delayed project.

I The Sangguniang Bayan of Buhi has successfully passed the Provincial Local Legislative Award (LLA) assessment after a thorough onsite evaluation conducted by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-Camarines Sur and the Provincial Budget Office. The legislative body garnered a total score of 80.

The assessment measured performance from 2022 to 2025 across seven key categories: Responsiveness of the Legislative Agenda, Availability of Legislative Documents, Effectiveness and Efficiency of Performance, Legislative Citations and Awards, Capacity Development for Legislators and Staff, and Innovation.

According to DILG-Camarines Sur Local Government Operations Officer (LGOO) Jane Crizelle Bobis, Buhi’s Sanggunian met the standards for passing the provincial assessment. However, only the LGU with the highest score in each cluster will advance to the Regional Assessment.

Vice Mayor Christian Echipare warmly welcomed the recognition, noting that it reflects the Sanggunian’s strong commitment to effective legislation, transparency, and innovation. He said the milestone serves as inspiration for the council to continue raising the bar in performance and to deliver better service to the people of Buhi.

Echipare also expressed his gratitude to the Sangguniang Bayan legislative staff, led by Secretary to the Sanggunian Heriberto Moraña, for their hard work and dedication in providing vital support services to the town’s august chamber.
