Former president and now Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who issued an executive proclamation during her presidency in 2001, led leaders of the Lower House in signing a memorandum of agreement that, in effect, will save the urban poor families from being relocated outside Manila to give way to the Manila Bay rehabilitation project.

Arroyo congratulated Negros Occidental Rep. Alfredo Benitez for taking swift steps in pushing for the immediate implementation of Executive Order No. 108 that ordered the award of a lot owned by the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) in Parola to its actual occupants.

Benitez, chairman of the House Committee on Housing and Urban Development, together with Rep. Manny Lopez (NP, Manila), was also instrumental in getting involved government agencies to agree on implementing the housing project for the informal settlers in Isla Puting Bato.
