The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Region 8 and the Local Planning and Development Coordinators Association of Northern Samar (LDCANS) collaborated to conduct a four-day intensive training workshop from March 24–27, 2026, in Tacloban City.

Throughout the training, participants engaged in a series of technical presentations and hands-on sessions led by DHSUD technical personnel. Key topics included design standards for residential subdivisions under PD 957 and BP 220, balanced housing development, and the specific regulations governing memorial parks and industrial subdivisions. The training also covered practical workshops where attendees applied their knowledge to locational clearance evaluation, fee computation, and the approval of development permits.

In celebration of National Women’s Month 2026, with the theme “WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society” and sub-theme “Lead like the Babaylans, Filipinas!”, the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) 8, through its Homeowners Association and Community Development Division (HOACDD), successfully conducted a Gender and Development (GAD) orientation on March 26, 2026, in Tacloban City.

The activity gathered twenty (20) registered Homeowners Associations (HOAs), represented by their GAD Committee Chairpersons and or members. The orientation covered key topics on “Building Safe Communities: GAD Roles & Responding to VAW Cases: Understanding Laws, Roles, and Community Protection Mechanisms,” and “PSEA Awareness for Homeowners Associations (Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse).” These discussions aimed to strengthen the capacity of HOAs in promoting gender-responsive and inclusive communities, particularly in recognizing, responding to, and properly referral of cases on Violence Against Women (VAW), as well as coordinating with appropriate authorities.
Through this initiative, DHSUD 8 continues to empower HOA leaders and members as active partners in building safe, inclusive, and gender-responsive communities across the region.
