1. INTRODUCTION
The Overseas Filipino worker has been a major contributing
asset to the nation’s economic development. It is known as “the needs of
OFW’s and their families” and “the OFW community” since it can be
transformed to various necessary for employment generation for foreign
exchanges earnings. Each components has a different working of the Filipino
may from the Australia (1.4%), North and South America (5.6%), Europe
(6.6%), Africa (1.4%), Asia (85.0%) and Nearly Saudi Arabia (23.8%), Middle
East has an extremely valuable market, offering wide range to the Filipino
families their basic needs. It has 1/3 of the country’s working or about 70% of
Filipino workers are legal and the other 30% are undocumented illegal
1
workers.
The Overseas Workers Welfare Administration asserted that the OFW’s

developments and generation contributed to the significant increase of
existing work contract by 97.5% higher than the previous rear whereas the
country’s revenue is predicted upsurge from 90-94% in the next two years
due to the growing popularity of the Overseas Filipino Worker’s.
The PHILIPPINE STATISTICS AUTHORITY (PSA) released a report with
the female OFW’s comprising 53.6 percent of the total OFW’s. Female OFW’s
were generally younger than male OFW’s, with about 2/3 (67.8%) of the
female OFWs, belonging to the age group 25 to 39 years. In comparison,

In Naga City their well be having a 10,817 Filipino workers as released by
OWWA agencies.
As Naga City fast growing population, housing development is in need.
This time absolutely OFW seeker buyers have had a difficulty in searching
housing property and townhouses. In reality, most house and lot subdivision
packages in the city proper is already full due to the population congestion

that is focused in the capital, specifically this year 2019, a right

time of economic booming in Metro Naga. These factors give
land developers to develop subdivision in the neighboring cities and towns of
Naga City. It is necessary to study and asses these areas to help the
developers develop a livable, peaceful and sustainable housing development
that may help lessen the population congestion that is focused in the province
of Camarines Sur.
The Overseas Filipino Workers aims to provide the manage concern with the
support of Philippines Embassy when it comes to deport our OFW’s. The
benefits of the OFW’s and the program of OWWA with the support of CDPO
of Naga City and CDC the PAMANA: OFW HOUSING for the OFW’s, to
further to help the family without a home.
The target market of the Government is directly related to the plan and
development of the area. By adjusting to the first-class needs of the market,
as designers, we should be able to design spaces wherein security and
exclusivity is at utmost priority. The rich people are very willing to spend large
amounts of money particular on good investments. Thus, creating a
subdivision with the best of the best in amenities is likely to be profitable in
terms of selling to a certain group of people.
Investing in expensive materials and developments ensure a large return
in profit due to the quality that the high-end working class family is inclined to
invest in. The high end clientele is ultimately hard to impress, but quality is a
key element in development in order to gratify them.
1.1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Philippines is a major source of labor migrants for many countries
across the globe. The sectors of seafaring, In the 1970s, men composed
the majority of Overseas Contract Workers (OCW) who left the
Philippines to work on oil rigs and construction sites in the Middle East.
Many will still be able to recall the popularity of the phrase “Katas ng
Saudi” [fruit of Saudi] to refer to material possessions or a better life as a
result of working in Saudi Arabia.
In the 80s and 90s, the service sector boomed and women began
leaving to fill domestic and caregiving vacancies in the developed
countries and around Asia.
. Today, the Philippines domestic work and nursing are largely
dominated by Filipinos and temporary labor migration has become a
way of life for many Filipino families.
PAMANA: OFW HOUSING
The various government administrations have taken

different positions on migration as a development strategy,
but have not been able to deny the economy's reliance on the
consistency of OFW remittances.
Rapple traces the history of labor migration in the Philippines,
starting from the Galleon Trade where Filipino seafarers emerge as our
pioneer migrants3.
“Housing has been present in the Philippines since 1975’s.

“Eventually on October 15, 1975, President Ferdinand E. Marcos
promulgated Presidential Decree NO. 757-Creating the National
Housing Authority as the sole housing Agency. NHA, a government
owned and controlled corporation, took over and integrated the
functions and resources of the PHHC and six other housing related
agencies which were then abolish. Three years later, the Ministry of
Human Settlement (MHS) was created to further bolster the housing
effort and forge new plans and directions for accelerated housing
development on a national scale”
“In the 1970’s the Philippine population rose to 40 million with the
biggest concentration of people in Metro Manila. With the shortage in
housing units and limited space available for housing, real estate
prices soared beyond the reach of the ordinary Filipino. The National
Government responded to the housing problem through institutional
reorganization. Existing shelter agencies were dissolved and the NHA
was created in 1975.”
After the President Ferdinand E. Marcos, EDSA people power and

then after that we declared as new President. President Corazon C.
Aquino, one of the project is the “Housing and Urban Development
Coordinating Council (HUDCC) was created by the President by
virtue of Executive Order No. 90 dated December 17, 1986. The
EO, which also abolished the Ministry of Human Settlements,
placed HUDCC under direct supervision of the President to serve

as the highest policy making body for housing and

coordinate the activities of the key housing agencies.”
(HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT COORDINATING

COUNCIL, 2008)
“On May 25, 1989 and May 28, 2001, Executive Order No.
357 and Executive Order No. 20 were issued respectively, to
strengthen HUDCC into department level organization by conferring
it with the power to exercise overall administrative over the key
housing sector; review the organization, programs and projects of
the key housing agencies; decentralized its operations and enlist
the assistance of the Department of Budget and Management in
securing continuing funding support to the National Center
Program.” (HUDCC, 2008)
“In 1992, the Urban Development and Housing Act (RA 7279)
mandated the HUDCC to direct the formulation of a National Urban
Development and Housing Frameworks in coordination with the
Local Government Units and other public and private sector
agencies; design of a system for the registration qualified socialized
housing beneficiaries and inventory of land suitable for socialized
housing; and provide, through its attached housing agencies, the
LGUs with support for the preparation of town and land use plans,
and assistance in obtaining funds and other resources for housing
development.”
From 1986 to present, these legal and legislative flats

assigned duties and responsibilities to HUDCC that are related to
its original mandate as the agency in housing and urban
development.
Current Philippine housing trends follows the exemplars of housing

design in the U.S. and Europe. These designs, though attractive, are
incompatible with the Philippines’ hot-humid tropical climate resulting in
high energy consumption and operation cost. The innovation of the
proposed PAMANA: OFW HOUSING a socialized subdivision is a
contemporary tropical design that conforms to the design features of a
sustainable community development, providing natural air and light
ventilation helping the reduction of the consumption of non-renewable
PAMANA: OFW HOUSING
energy. Considering the function, the researchers aim to

design the houses and other facilities within the
villa/subdivision to be transparent and open as to provide interaction
between the interior spaces and exterior spaces that will most likely result
to a boundless space within the vicinity but not risking the privacy of each
homeowners.
And again, Naga City aims to promote a Housing development. For

the Overseas Filipino Workers, this proposed “PAMANA: OFW
HOUSING” a Housing development for OFW's. This will encourage the
OFWs for socialized housing that can afford a house and also give an
interesting in backyard farming. And also to promote the new technology
at home to minimize the space and waste management.
1.2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Naga City, is a second class independent component City in
the Bicol Region, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has
a population of 196,003 people. Ironically, there are agricultural
land to develop into a housing in the city proper to cater the needs
of the people. This, however, has given land developers the chance
to develop lands into Residential in the neighboring towns and
cities of Naga City. As higher demands of housing property, so do
the need for OWWA and Government is to design and develop
these socialized housing subdivisions. There are multiple issues to
be considered and these are the following questions the proponent
want to address:
1. How can the Government and OWWA help make the
OFW’s comfortable to live in?
2. How can the Government and OWWA be able to
design a development that would surely benefit its
users and its client?
3. Where in the neighboring towns and cities of Naga
City is most suitable place to develop the said high-
end subdivision?
4. How can this development help the City where it is
located?
The study also aims to address problems on the ecological
waste and environmental friendly facilities. Wastes or garbage are
PAMANA: OFW HOUSING
common problem in any place. The lack of practice on

how to conserve the nature is one of the reasons why
there is pollution that can affect human and environment.
Aside from waste, every structure are necessary to provide
or introduce environmental friendly facility. The facilities should
have harmony with natural features and resources surrounding the
site.
1.3. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The study mainly aims to arrive at an architectural design solution
for the development of a socialized housing integrating the laws and
requirements needed for the said development. Efficient planning should
be done in order for the land to be used at its maximum capacity. The
development must not only be efficiently located, but must also be
sufficient to cater the OFW’s needs. Specifically, the study aims to:
 To find a site that is strategically located.
 To determine the laws governing the planning of the said
development.
 To determine the different facilities and amenities needed in
the development.
 To find an effective design and planning solution that
incorporates all space requirement of the said development.
 To Create an Agriculture portion along the area of housing
Facility to provide a Sustainable in terms of livelihood.
 To Provide an MRF-waste management to produce
environment friendly facility with regards to safety.
1.4. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The proposed project aims to develop a place to accommodate the
OFW’s families that can’t afford a house. It will be benefited for the OFW.
Enthusiast to have a place to settle area where they will not be ashamed
to live in such a house. Another idea is to put a backyard farming inside a
housing unit. Agriculture as one of the primary business the Bicol region
which helps the socio-economic in the city. And it’s especially of the
waste management, MRF.
The needs to provide solution to the issue is deemed important to
the following:
a. To the OFW’s
PAMANA: OFW HOUSING
The study will cater to the community to satisfy

wellbeing and comfortable.
b. To the City
To reduce and organized more proper zoning and provide a
placed to develop the housing.
c. To the Environment

development of the study. However, this will` cover the areas that
need an extensive specialization such as comprehensive electrical
and plumbing layout, structural and technical analysis and design,
detailed budget estimate of construction cost and project utilities,
construction time table and the like.
1.6. CRITERIA FOR SITE SELECTION AND SWOT ANALYSIS

 Site Selection
PAMANA: OFW HOUSING
Understanding the site is the first step

towards designing or substantially improving its
location that will minimize its impact on the environment,
minimize the use of resource and be comfortable and
healthier to fit in.
In selecting a good site for the proposed study, we
should consider the safety of the general public welfare. The
site shall be located within suitable site for housing and
outside potential hazard prone and protection areas.
Furthermore, the selected site must provide the needs of the
occupants and the activities that will cater which are:
 Site Infrastructure
Sources of electricity, water and
sewer are important for the ease of the
users and management. A good site
should have a good-quality.
 Safety
This is the first to be considered
in selecting the location for any
development of structures. It should be
adjacent to barangay road and sloped
site.
 Location
The location should be
compatible with current and probable
future zoning regulations, has safe
walking area and favorable to wind and
natural light.
 Environment
The site should be free from air,
water and soil pollution, and provides
aesthetic view for the environment
 Accessibility
The site location may not be as
easily reached by the broader
community; however tourist tried to
PAMANA: OFW HOUSING
pursue despite of the

distance with the use of
public transportation. It should have
existing pedestrian infrastructures such
as paved-walks.
 Public services
The site should accessible to
public transportation and trash and
garbage disposal.
 Utility
The site should accessible to
source of water, electricity, gas and
sewer.

2. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
1.1. RESEARCH DESIGN

Research design can be used as a plan that explains how research
is to be carried out or can serve as a guideline with procedures on how the
research carried out.
A descriptive design research was used. The proponent used to
collect original data for describing the annual visitor’s arrival average and
the socio-economic profile of Naga City. Descriptive research design is
selected because it provides an accurate description or account of the
characteristics, this design was chosen to meet the objectives of the
study, namely to determine the information, opportunities, contribution and
the economic impact of the development.
Make a plan to know if the study is progressing through time. The
course of action taken by the proponents will be divided into three major
stages: data preparation, analysis, and conclusion.
 Data Preparation
It is setting up procedures for taking information and keeping
track of it until the proponent is ready to comprehensive analysis.
a. Identification of Problem. This step involves the recognition
of the problem and the determination of issues to be solved
prior to the established needs and requirements of the
study.
b. Identification of goals, objectives, and targets. Once the
problem has been identified, the need for clear and
attainable objectives is to follow.
c. Data gathering. With the problem and goals being laid
down, in this step of action, the proponent will now start to
collect needed information that will help in the progress of
the study. There are two ways acknowledged by the
proponent to gather needed information.
 Data Research
This includes the library works and net surfing. The
proponent recognized the used of printed materials for references
as well as the use of advanced technology in getting hold of
information.
CHAPTER 2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 6

PAMANA: OFW HOUSING
 Data Sourcing
In this type of data gathering the information obtained by
conducting interviews to key persons and other resource person.
As soon as data is received the proponent should check it

for the accuracy and combined the gathered data, primarily use in
analysis.
 Analysis
The purpose of analysing data is to gain usable and useful
information. It comes up at the end of the data are collected. The
proponent will interpret the information to bring it in order.
a. Treatment of Data. The data collected from the previous
steps will be examined and disclosed to provide a more
useful and coherent set of information. Also, data not really
needed or very little impact to the study will be analysed to
see if it may have any significant contribution to the study.
b. Synthesis. In this process, related data will be mixed or
combined to come with more compact information.
 Conclusion
The proponent will include recommendations or action plan.
This helps ensure that the results are used. Then, evaluate
findings to see if the research meets the objectives of the study.
a. Action / Design Development. After the identification of
problem and collection of data, the proponent will now start
to present solution to the problem. Design development
includes doing rough draft plans.
b. Evaluation. By this time, the proponent will look back to its
objectives to see if the proposed action attains original
target to accomplish.

Naga is fast growing city both in terms of population and urban

development. Its number of people has already possibly exceeded its 174,
931 (2010 census record).
Demographic data of 2000-2010- showed that the city’s population

is growing by 2.02% (average growth rate from 1980-2007) means that it
could be double its number in about 30 years. The farmlands in Naga City
are diminishing because of rapid growth of population and land
conversion.

Based on the 2000 and 2010 census of the Philippine Statistics

Authority (PSA), the table below presents Naga’s household population,
average family size and occupied housing units. By deducting the
occupied housing units from the number of households, the housing
backlog for the survey year is derived. For 2010, it is placed at 719
housing units.

To determine the projected housing needs, the projected housing

population by 2030 is computed for each of the three growth scenarios.
These are shown in the following table. Together with the housing backlog
of 719, Naga’s total projected housing needs would range between a low
of 18,458 units to a high of 27,820 units.

To determine the land area that will meet the city’s projected
housing requirements, a high residential density of 300 persons per
hectare is assumed, consistent with the thrust towards densification.
Based on this assumption, the household density of 62.04 households per
hectare can be computed (300 divided by 4.84, the average family size as
of 2010). This translates to an average lot size of 161.18 square meters.
