 Housing Rules and Regulations in the Philippines

Section 1. Scope. — These rules and standards apply to the development of economic and
social housing projects in urban and rural areas within the meaning of Paragraph 2 of BP Blg.
220. They apply to the development of a house and land or simply a house or plot. These
rules and standards also apply to individual landowners who belong to the category of low-
middle-income persons within the meaning of BP Blg. 220 and who organize the construction
of their houses after the entry into force of these rules. § 12 Establishment of an integrated
admission system. — There is an INTEGRATED PERMIT SYSTEM that applies exclusively
to the assessment and approval of all proposed economic and socialized housing projects,
whether it is a house and land or simply a house or land. After these rules come into effect,
all proposed economic and socialized housing projects must obtain only the INTEGRATED
PERMIT established here, which replaces the permits and permits required by Presidential
Decrees No. 957, 1216, 1096 and 1185 and their implementing regulations. Paragraph 11.

Approval of residential building projects for middle- and low-income individuals. —

Individual landowners who are average and low-income employees within the meaning of BP
220 may construct their individual dwellings in the manner provided for in this Regulation,
provided that: 1. obtain project approval from the Ministry of Housing and Human
Settlements prior to construction; and 2. They use as-built plans approved by the MHS or
submit their proposed construction plans to the ministry for approval. Where applicable, the
procedures and documents required by this rule for other housing projects must also be
followed for individual housing projects. Section 1. It is the policy of the Government to
promote and promote the development of economic and socialized housing projects,
especially by the private sector, in order to provide adequate economic and socialized
housing for middle- and low-income people in urban and rural areas. Section 3, Section 2.
Statement of Principles. – The State undertakes an ongoing program to promote the
development of affordable housing for the lowest income brackets and other beneficiaries for
the common good.

Paragraph 18. Survey and approval of the division plan. — After obtaining the integrated
permit for an economic and socialized housing project, the developer transfers the final plan
of subdivision and the parcel map to the Lands Office for review and approval of the plan of
subdivision. The Bureau then submits its findings to the Commission. In addition to tenants,
landlords and owners of apartments are also protected by the provisions of the Rent Control
Act. If you are a landlord, here are the scenarios in which you can legally terminate a lease
and evict a tenant from the premises. Rents cannot increase by more than seven percent (7%)
per year for housing units costing between 5,000 and 8,999 Philippine pesos per month if the
tenant stays in the same location year after year. Paragraph 7. Design standards and planning
considerations. — The following design standards and planning considerations must be
followed for all projects covered by these rules. A. Water supply 1.

Underdeveloped area The minimum requirement is the supply of community wells. The
water supply must be drinkable and sufficient, at least 43 litres per capita per day. The source
of supply is determined and developed by the developer/owner of the project. Whenever a
water body is to be used for municipal water supply, permits from the National Water
Resources Board (NMRC) must be obtained. The standards set by the Regional Water
Resources Board (RWRC) for the development of water sources must be met. Each well must
be allocated an area of approximately four (4) square metres, which is part of the community
facility area (as defined in By-law II) and does not interfere with a parcel or marketable right
of way. 2. Agglomeration If there is a public water supply system, connection to it is
mandatory by the subdivision. Each plot and/or dwelling must be supplied by a water
connection (regardless of the type of distribution network). The water supply provided by the
local water district is supplemented by other sources if necessary, such as a community well,
which can be strategically located to facilitate water withdrawal for residents while not being
within 300 metres of each other. If no public water system is available, the proponent must
ensure an independent water supply system as part of the division project.

The minimum quantity must be 75 litres per inhabitant per day. Similarly, the necessary
permits from the NWRC must be obtained and the standards of the local water supply
administration must be met. If an underground reservoir is to be built and the area is allocated
for this purpose (part of the allocation for community facilities). The size depends on the
amount of water to be stored. Provide protection against pollution, i.e. a buffer of at least 25
meters from sources of pollution/contamination. In the case of raised tanks, the structural
design shall conform to recognized construction standards. B. Circulation system 1. The
transport system shall be the same for projects carried out in an underdeveloped area as well
as in a developed area, with the exception of the pavement type determined on the basis of
the regional or site-specific characteristics of the project site. TABLE 3 HIERARCHY OF
ROADS Type of right on the road Maximum carriageway Length of road Major 8.00 6.00

secondary road), 75 m. (dead end) Trail 2.00 2.00 100 m. (both ends are connected by a

alley path of more than 2.50 to 15.00 has a main street, a side driveway, a path. on 15:00 to
30:00 has the main road of model B, then the main road to the trail, as shown in Table 3.
(model B of the 957) on 30:00 catchment road, service road, then main road to the model A
footpath, as shown in Table 3. Agenda model A (957) TABLE 5 DESCRIPTION OF
PAVING MATERIALS BY ROAD TYPE Underdeveloped Aggregates of developed trails
(stones, rocks, pebbles, gravel) Aggregates Smallest road aggregates Gravel Main road
gravelly asphalt Note: Road paving materials from models A and B (957) must have the same
paving materials as those listed in this document; that is, asphalt.

2. Traffic planning or management considerations a) respect for the road hierarchy within the
subdivision. (b) consistency with the natural topography. c) Consideration of accessibility
and safety, e.g. reasonable radius, minimum number of roads at intersections, moderate
slope/slope, sufficient visibility, no dead spots, etc. (d) Optimize the number of plots to
reduce road size while improving community interaction. (e) There shall be no duplication of
street names, and such names shall not resemble existing street names in adjacent
subdivisions, unless they are in continuation of existing street names. Street names must be
recognizable and legible.

The developer assumes the cost of purchasing and installing street names and signs that
coincide with the construction of roads and utilities. (f) gangways are not required if the
drainage system passes through open channels; If the drainage channels are covered or
underground, the space above the channels should be used as a walkway. C. Drainage system
A drainage system must be required in all projects. An open channel must be provided on
each side of the transmission network. The canal must have a suitable slope to obtain good
drainage. In addition, the sides of the open channel should be lined with grass or stones to
prevent erosion. See screenshot below. If there is no drainage system in the locality, the
watershed must be planned and developed by the developer/owner in consultation with the
local authorities or private entities concerned to avoid flooding of adjacent properties. In
addition, these catchment areas must be secured and maintained and be part of the park or
playground requirement.
