BACOLOD CITY — Mayor Alfredo Abelardo “Albee” Benitez is tapping the help of national government agencies to bring down the cost of the 10,000 housing units the city will build for informal settlers.

Councilor Vladimir Gonzalez said on Monday, Nov. 14, that the mayor was finding ways to lengthen the period for amortization payments and to get subsidies to cover part of the interest rates.
