"This is one of the best things in life and this is not for free," Iloilo Gov. Arthur D. Defensor, Sr., reminds press people.
The groundbreaking, held March 14, at the site, Brgy. San Jose, San Miguel, was followed by an inaugural ceremony at the Hotel Del Rio.
San Miguel town is 15 kilometers northwest of this central Philippine City.
IPC interim president Rommel Ynion donated a hectare to the IPC where he will erect uniform housing structures that in turn will be turned over to beneficiaries, only those who have no houses of their own.

The donor, Ynion, 40, appears uncomfortable with platitudes heaped by colleagues on him, jokingly dismissing them as "eulogies". He said: "You got it all wrong. The message I want to deliver is not about Rommel Ynion and his generosity: i'ts about hope and helplessness."

"Now I want to spread the message of hope" that we can live up to our obligation of informing our people as we try to overcome poverty.
