Urbanization among the developing countries have brought both advantages
and disadvantages since some of the countries were not prepare for the flocking of
people from the rural to the urban. Since then, governments have to create and
carry out program that would answer to the different problems as the effects of
urbanization.
The Philipine government being a developing country for years have been battling
the problems of urbanization. Filipinos from the rural areas migrated to the cities
because of the promise of opportunities that their lives will be better or if not will
open many doors for them to become rich. Due to these views, many of them sold
their lands and some of them abandoned and bought properties in the cities.
However, not all were blessed. Even poor Filipinos took the risk of going to the cities
even though they did not have enough financial support to make their lives
comfortable in the urban. Volumes of people migrated to the cities and in the 20th
century, some cities were overpopulated because of this. As a result, informal
settlers came into existence and have been a problem, in addition, it also carried
more problems that cities have to face. Thus, the Philippine government tried to
explore different solutions in order to address the problems, that led to the creation
of the National Housing Authorithy in 1975. This is a national agency which is
tasked to develop and implement a comprehensive and integrated housing program
which shall embrace, among others, housing development and resettlement,
