I. INTRODUCTION
In the vibrant city of Manila, Philippines, mid-rise vertical housing has emerged as a prominent solution to
the pressing challenges of urbanization and population growth. With a limited land area and a burgeoning populace,
the traditional low-rise sprawl is making way for mid-rise structures that offer an innovative approach to urban living.
These buildings, typically ranging from 5 to 12 stories in height, signify a critical shift in housing trends, driven by the
necessity for sustainable, space-efficient, and community-oriented urban development. This research endeavors to
explore the multifaceted dimensions of mid-rise vertical housing in the Manila context, unraveling its architectural,
socio-economic, and environmental implications, and elucidating its role in creating more livable and sustainable
urban environments, all within the unique urban fabric of the Philippines' capital city.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to Apple Barretto (2023), “The growing population in the Philippines has led to a significant
increase in housing demands, which poses numerous challenges to the environment. The construction of more
houses not only requires occupying additional land but also contributes to increased traffic congestion. While new
urbanism offers a sustainable approach to urban development, another solution that has gained momentum is
vertical housing” This is the reason why vertical social housing is built. Vertical social housing prevents the spread of
informal settlers and preserves more green spaces. These benefits improve not only the user's experience but also
the surrounding environment because of less horizontal development resulting in more greenspaces, possible
neighboring structures and urban development in the future.
Vertical social housing is a type of residential development tailored to meet the housing needs of low-
income individuals, families, and vulnerable populations within urban environments. These housing complexes are
distinguished by their multistory design, which optimizes land use in densely populated urban areas, making efficient
use of available space. They offer a range of housing unit types, including studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and
occasionally three-bedroom apartments, accommodating diverse resident requirements. Accessibility is a
fundamental aspect, with features such as ramps, elevators, and wide hallways to ensure easy access for individuals
with disabilities.

II. PROJECT RATIONALE
The rationale for developing Mid-rise vertical social housing projects for residential use can be multifaceted
and is typically driven by several key considerations and goals. Below are some common reasons for implementing
such a project:
Affordable Housing - According to Barretto (2023), the primary goal of vertical housing is to provide affordable and
decent housing options for individuals and families who may not be able to afford market-rate housing. Mid-rise
buildings are an efficient way to accommodate a larger number of housing units within a limited land area, making
them cost-effective for delivering affordable housing.
Reducing Homelessness - Social housing helps reduce informal settlers by providing stable housing to individuals
and families who might otherwise be living on the streets (Caguingin, 2015).
Safety & Security - it helps settlers feel safe and improve security than low-rise options, which can be important for
vulnerable populations. (Caguingin, 2015).
Urban Density - In many urban areas, space is limited and expensive. Mid-rise social housing buildings allow for
higher population density while preserving green spaces and limiting urban sprawl. This can lead to more sustainable
and walkable communities (Lehmann, 2019)
Transit-Oriented Development - Placing social housing in mid-rise buildings near public transportation can improve
access to job opportunities, education, and services for low-income residents. It also promotes sustainable
transportation options. (Wikipedia contributors, n.d.)
The intention for establishing mid-rise vertical social housing is to develop strategies and solutions that will
support low-cost housing to provide shelter for low income or lower class families, and decrease informal settlements
in the country. According to Lauer et al. (2021) Metro Manila is considered one of the regions with vast areas of
informal settlements, slum dwellers and homeless families with an estimated population of three million individuals.
Many slum areas are occasionally situated in danger zones such as areas with high vulnerability to flood, adjacent to
riverbanks and waterways.
According to a study by Usamah (2014), informal settlements can be highly dangerous as people living in
these areas may be exposed to threats of natural hazard. These illegal settlements often ignore building codes and
other necessary codes, leading to unsustainable land use, ineffective urban planning, and lack of land administration.
Moreover, the result of rapid urbanization has also caused the need for establishment of mid-rise vertical social
housing. The rapid growth of urban population was due to the resettling of the people from rural areas to urban areas
to look for other sources of income because of the slowing productivity of farms in provinces (Ooi and Phua, 2007).

III. RELEVANT LAWS AND GUIDELINES
Social housing is a critical element of any society's efforts to address housing inequalities and provide
affordable and secure shelter for vulnerable and low-income individuals. To achieve these goals, various laws and
guidelines are in place to regulate the creation, maintenance, and accessibility of social housing. These regulations
outline the criteria for eligibility, affordability measures, quality standards, and tenant rights, aiming to ensure that
everyone has access to safe and decent housing, regardless of their economic circumstances. Social housing laws
play a pivotal role in building equitable communities, reducing homelessness, and fostering inclusivity in housing
markets. A few of these laws and regulations that are to be consider is provided below:
1. HUDCC (Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council) – created through Executive Order
No. 90, is the highest policy making and coordinating office on shelter. It is an umbrella organization
which consists of heads of four housing agencies.
2. NHA (National Housing Authority) – is a government-owned and controlled corporation operating under
the policy and administrative supervision of the HUDCC. The NHA is the sole government agency to
engage in shelter production, focusing its efforts to provide to homeless, low-income Filipino families.
3. PAG-IBIG Fund (Pagtutulungan sa Kinabukasan Ikaw, Bangko, Industriya at Gobyerno) - to provide its
member with adequate housing through an effective savings scheme, Pag IBIG Fund harnesses these
four sectors of Philippine society: financial institutions, the industrial sector, the government, and the
Filipino people. The Find was created to address two of the nation’s basic concerns: (a) the generation
of savings and (b) providing shelter for Filipino workers.
4. HLURB (Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board) – is a national government agency tasked as the
planning, regulatory and quasi-judicial body for land use development and real estate and housing
regulation. These roles are done via a triad of strategies namely, policy development, planning and
regulation.
5. PGC (Philippine Guarantee Corporation) – is the government-owned-controlled-corporation (GOCC)
mandated by law (Republic Act 8763) to promote sustainable home ownership by providing risk
coverage or Guarantees and tax/fiscal incentives to banks and financial institutions/investors granting
housing development loans/ credits, and home financing. As HGC focuses on promoting home
ownership to middle and low-income families
6. NHMFC (National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation) – mandate of increasing the availability of
affordable housing loans to finance the Filipino homebuyer acquisition of housing units through the
development and operation of a secondary market for mortgages.
7. SHFC (Social Housing Finance Corporation) – mandated: (a) to undertake social housing programs
that will acter to the formal and informal sectors in the low-income bracket; and (b)to take charge of
7
developing administering social housing programs, particularly the Community Mortgage Program
(CMP) and the Abot-Kaya Pabahay Fund (AKPF) Program.
IV. PROJECT DEFINITION:
Socialized Housing - in which, are projects that are undertaken by the government or possibly by a private sector. As
such, these projects will revolve around housing covering the homeless and/or underprivileged where both the
established lot and shelter are owned by others. Rizzlemay (2021) posits that qualifications to receive shelter under
socialized housing projects require to have a local citizenship and must not own any property in terms of legal and/or
recognized by the government. Function, spaces, and users of Mid-rise vertical social housing will be identified (but
not limited to) as the following:
Function of Mid-rise socialized housing development
As certain people are only eligible to receive shelter such as socialized housing, the primary function of this
projects that aims to only cover a specific category of people are affordability, profitability, and sustainability can also
be considered as these identified variables that promotes socialize housing aims for the betterment of the quality of
living for each individual and/or underprivileged families. Affordability of socialized housing, mainly pertaining to mid-
rise promotes lesser land use consumption, and/or land development, in which promotes for other project
development within the vicinity. These can include development of landscape planning, commercialized spaces for
profitability, or other residential establishments as well.
Profitability for socialized housing developments involve economic rise for government or the private sector
who funded the project, where as long as the affordability of each housing remains the same for the targeted people
such as that these housing will help establish a stabilized long-term opportunity for the people such as improvements
in education, health, and economic security (Arcilla, 2019). In cases such as sustainability, the integration of using
sustainable materials, or at least to market them allows for the development of socialized housing to incorporate long
term impact of these developments to its environmental effects, as well as to help participate the people or families
that lives under the development to develop characteristics of appreciating and maintaining a healthy environment.
Spaces identified for Mid-rise socialized housing development.
Under the categorized functions of a Mid-rise socialized housing development that are identified, the spaces
shall include (but not limited to) areas and/or spaces that allows for residential zoning, allowing access to commercial
zoning, and open parks or green spaces as well. Residential zoning developments include the identification of areas
8
where the primary purpose of a project is subjected to in a property - whether it will be centralized, or it will be
situated to other places, depending on the planning of the project in relation to its vicinity.
According to the rules and regulations for economic and socialized housing with regards to the
implementation of Batas Pambansa BLG. 220, zoning of these developments must also coordinate with proper
planning in terms of location, particularly to avoid any hazard prone and/or protected areas. Additional planning
considerations are required for the easements, allocation of spaces, circulation, and so on.
Users identified for Mid-rise socialized housing development.
Socialized housing beneficiaries covers those users who are of local citizenship and underprivileged. As
such, further identification of the said eligible users must also not be part of squatting syndicates, and must not have
any existent property (Rizzlemay, 2021). Furthermore, incentives for the participation of the private sector include
simplification of financial procedures, project-related income taxes, capital gains tax on the raw usage of land area,
and so on.
V. PROJECT OVERVIEW
Amidst the urban challenges of housing affordability and community well-being, our study will navigate the
intricate journey of identifying and evaluating suitable locations for these housing developments. We will explore the
versatile criteria and decision-making factors involved in site selection, such as accessibility, environmental impact,
regulatory compliance, and proximity to essential amenities.
VI. SITE SELECTION
According to Samonte (2021), Quezon City is an ideal location for socialized housing due to its high
population density, accessibility, and economic opportunities. As one of the most populous cities in the Philippines, it
has a significant demand for affordable housing, and its central location within the National Capital Region ensures
easy access to employment opportunities, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. The city's relatively better
infrastructure, government support, and provision of community services further enhance the appeal of socialized
housing projects. Additionally, its diverse communities, cultural and recreational amenities, and proximity to
government institutions contribute to the overall quality of life for residents. Careful planning and collaboration among
local government, developers, and the community are essential to ensure the sustainability and success of such
projects in Quezon City.

CONCLUSION:
The most significant drawback of this site is its limited access, with only one adjacent road that is notably
narrow, potentially leading to congestion issues for those trying to reach the site. Additionally, the presence of a
densely populated barangay nearby could contribute to increased noise levels and further exacerbate congestion on
the nearby road. While the site features ample green space, its surroundings, characterized by existing structures,
may impede potential future development opportunities.
C. SITE SELECTION RATIONALE:
22
Site A is a strong candidate due to its proximity to essential amenities, potential for future development, and
excellent accessibility with multiple adjacent roads. Site B, while presenting various advantages, faces challenges
with a notable topographic anomaly. However, it offers open spaces and greenery for potential use. Site C, on the
other hand, is hindered by limited access and a narrow adjacent road, potentially causing congestion. The nearby
densely populated barangay and surrounding structures could further impact its usability and future development
prospects.
