HOUSING
There are a total of 100,356 Households residing in Mandaluyong living in 93,319 Occupied Housing Units. Due to the small space of Mandaluyong, Multi-unit residential houses are popular, in which a majority (50.64%) of the total households are living in one. Some opt to live in Single houses (36.60%), or in Duplex (12.33%). Almost 99% of the households have Electricity for lighting. More than half (56.18) of the households use tap water for drinking while a good 33.18% purchase bottled water from water stations.
Most of the households are living in houses constructed using concrete / brick / stone (62.28%), some in Half-concrete / brick / stone and half-wood (24.27%), others in housing made solely with Wood (12.28), while the âOtherâ households occupy houses made with Galvanized Iron / Aluminum, Bamboo / Sawali / Cogon / Nipa, Trapal, Glass, Makeshift / salvaged / improvised Materials, Asbestos, and other materials (1.17%).
41.12% of the Households in Mandaluyong rent their houses and their lot while 40.31% owns or has owner-like possession of their house and lot. 8.78% of the households own their houses while being free of the rent for the lot that the house is on with the consent of the owner, while 3.19% does not have the consent of the owner. 5.33% of the households has the consent of the owner to live in the house and lot without rent, while 450 families (0.45%) do not have consent at all. All of the figures given above came from the 2015 Census of Population by the Philippine Statistics Authority.
Local Housing Task Force
With the aim to provide decent and affordable housing to its constituents, the city government of Mandaluyong created three organizations in lieu of a housing task force: (1) the Mandaluyong Housing Development Board (MHDB) now expanded as the Mandaluyong Housing Development Department as per latest City Ordinance on Reorganization, with mandated functions pursuant to UDHA, (2) the Welfareville Commission for the generation and maintenance of database and coordination of housing programs and relevant developments concerning informal settlers within the Welfareville compound, and (3) an ad-hoc committee that serves as advisory body to the Board, the Sanggunian or the LDC on matters of shelter concerns. On September 3, 2012, Executive Order No. 007, s-2012 was issued by the Office of the City Mayor âCreating the Committee for Securing Transfer Certificates of Titles and Condominium Certificate of Titles on Properties of the City Governmentâ in particular the medium-rise buildings for socialized housing. This is to ensure that beneficiaries of the housing program who have fully paid the amortization and completed the requirements were issued corresponding TCTs or CCTs. Process improvements were also institutionalized through the virtue of City Council Resolution No. 2360, S-2016, wherein awardees can pay amortizations directly to the Land Bank of the Philippines. Also, numerous resolutions were also passed in support of financial assistance to relocations due to proposed government projects and various calamities like fire.
Status of Informal Settlements
The main problem on housing is the presence of Informal Settlers in the city. As reported by the Mandaluyong Housing and Development Department, a total of 24,801 households are informal settlers, approximately 89 % of which are located in Welfareville Compound, Barangay Addition Hills. (See Map 2.06)
The City Government of Mandaluyong is constrained to act fully on the problem of Informal Settlers in Welfareville Compound as this lot parcel is owned by the National Government (Department of Social Welfare and Development). There is, however, a pending Bill (HB No.1716) in the House of Representatives authored by Congressman Neptali M. Gonzales II that seeks to declare Welfareville Property (except the areas occupied by the National Center for Mental Health and the Correctional Institute for Women) disposable and alienable, to be sold through direct negotiated sale to bonafide residents without public bidding.
Another problem is doubled-up households deemed present in high density residential structures. Doubled-up Households are two or more households (usually nuclear family and its extended family) living in the same housing unit. As in the case of Welfareville Compound, it can be observed that doubled-up households can increase exponentially once members of extended families reach legal age and have their own families. But as the housing space remains the same, vertical densification manifests to accommodate new extensions of the extended family. These situations translate to housing backlogs or the lack of housing structures on a one family to one housing unit ratio. Shown in Table 2.18 is the latest report on informal settlers in Mandaluyong City.
Support to Housing
The city has a two-pronged program on housing: theHome for the Homeless program and the Land for the Landless program. (See Map 2.07) The Home for the Homeless Program involves construction of row-houses and housing units in Medium-rise buildings.
Since early part of 1980s, the city government has been constructing row houses and medium-rise residential buildings with units sold to qualified beneficiaries at very low monthly amortizations ranging from P 998.00 to P 3,000.00 depending on which floor level the unit is located, payable in 25 years. Ten (10) medium-rise housing projects have benefitted a total of 1,045 families. The Gawad Kalinga Foundation is a major contributor in the success of this program. Gawad Kalinga Housing Projects are row houses constructed through combined paid labor and sweat equity from the beneficiaries. This is to build up a sense of ownership and good relationship among the GK beneficiaries since together they worked hard for the construction of the housing units and will take great efforts to maintain the units they worked hard for. At present, 729 families have already benefited from this program.

The Land for the Landless Program involves on-site development and promotion of Community Mortgage Program to instill among the target families the values of neighborhood cooperation and self-reliance by giving them the responsibility of paying at reasonable terms the housing units and home lots that will eventually be awarded to them. A total of 163.25 Hectares of land comprising of 27 government lands in 15 barangays and the entire length of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) property traversing the city through 11 barangays have been awarded to 4,071 families living in these properties. The city government negotiates with the affected property owners for the acquisition of their properties under the CMP. A total of 26 landed estates measuring 68,859 sq. meters have been distributed to 1,460 beneficiaries who, through the CMP, pays individually to the city government on a monthly amortization basis.Â
The city also has relocation programs for families living   in  danger  zones (Table 2.17) and  those affected by special projects such as development of linear parks along Pasig River. The city maintains coordination with the National Housing Authority and the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission in this regard.
PEACE AND ORDER
Barangay Level
A barangay is the basic political unit which serves as the primary planning and implementing unit of government policies, plans, programs, projects, and activities in the community, and as a forum wherein the collective views of the people may be expressed, crystalized and considered.[1]  In the exercise of barangay autonomy, the Barangay Tanods are tasked to exercise police powers in their own respective barangay while a Lupong Tagapamayapa is organized to resolve and take appropriate actions or settle amicably the interpersonal disputes, domestic violence, and emergencies referred to it. All 27 barangays of Mandaluyong City have 550 organized and trained barangay tanods with the aid of organized civilian volunteers, and 291 Lupong Tagapamayapa members who exercise administrative supervision over the conciliation panels as constituted in accordance with Section 399 of the 1991 LGC (RA7160). In 2017, There are a total of 3194 settled disputes in all barangay with 48.84% of settled cases with 14.82 million pesos of estimated savings for the government (where a case is estimated to have 9,500 pesos of government savings).
Police Protection
At the city level, peace and order situation is maintained by the Philippine National Police with main headquarters housed in a four-storey building within the city hall compound together with the Bureau of Fire Protection and the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology. This is augmented  by five police precincts (Map 2.08) scattered in strategic locations within the city (Table 2.19). As of January 2018, these stations are manned by a total of 669 personnel (PCO, PNCO, NUP) giving off a police-population ratio of 1:633 based on the nighttime population of 423,571 (2018 projection) which is lower compared with the 2015 police-population ratio of 1:1106 based on 2015 MCEP population projection of 357,078. Such ratio is still very high as compared with the ideal ratio of 1 : 300 for highly urbanized cities such as Mandaluyong City. The ratio is even higher at 1 : 2,532 when considering daytime population which is estimated to be not lower than four times the nighttime population.Â
For 2017, Crime Solution Efficiency Rate is recorded at a monthly average of 51% with reported  annual incidences of index crime and non-index crimes at 789 and 489, respectively (Table 2.20). Index Crimes are those in the line of murder, homicide, rape, physical injury, robbery or theft, and carnapping. Non-index Crimes are illegal gambling, illegal possession of firearms, and illegal drugs and other violations of special laws.Â

Crime-prone areas identified by the PNP are the following:
- Along EDSA northbound and southbound traversing Barangays Barangka Ilaya, Malamig, Highway Hills, Wack-Wack.
- Along Shaw Blvd traversing Barangays Addition Hills and Hagdan Bato Libis.
- Along commercial business districts in the city such as Ortigas, Boni Ave., along Shaw 500, intersection of Shaw Blvd. and EDSA (also known as âCrossingâ), etc.
Common crimes reported in these areas are robbery or theft, or what is called âbudol-budolâ, âtutokâ or âsalisiâ. In inner roads with minimal illumination or where streetlights are defective, such crimes happen occasionally. The number of cases reported was reduced significantly with the installation of CCTV cameras in strategic locations that helped authorities monitor the areas round the clock. Bantay-bayans doing rounds frequently and establishment of Bantay-bayan outposts, along with installation of more streetlights also helped discourage commission of such crimes. The trial implementation of the Anti-Riding-in-tandem Ordinance was notably lauded for its success in warding off potential criminals in the city.Â
In addition to these safety measures, the PNP, together with concerned local government departments also implement the Peace and Order and Public Safety Plan for the years 2017-2019. The plan tackles every challenge with a strategy and counter measures with corresponding success indicators to monitor implementation and best practices.
Fire Safety and Protection Services
 The city is protected from fire and conflagration by a central fire station and four fire substations manned as of April 2018 by a total of 115 personnel, male (111) and female (36) combined, giving off a ratio of 1 fireman for every 2,249 individuals (Table 2.21).

The whole force is assisted by civilian employees from the city government functioning as fire aides and the rest doing clerical and utility assignments, and 265 barangay fire volunteers from different barangays of the city with an average of 10 volunteers every barangay. The City also has 11 firetrucks at its disposal whenever emergencies arise.  With  the shortage in manpower and other resources, the City Fire Department has intensified its fire prevention campaign through the following:
- Continuous conduct of fire safety inspections in different establishments in the city including schools, residential and office buildings, and other places of assembly;
- Enhancing community relations through fire drills and training of volunteers. By year 2012, 15 out of 27 barangays have organized volunteer fire brigades.
- Periodic fire drills and conduct of firefighting competitions, inter-high school and inter-barangay. The aim is to increase awareness of high school students and the community in fire prevention and develop fire-fighting tactics and skills.
- Conduct of IEC for âOplan Iwas Paputokâ especially during the Christmas Holidays by disseminating flyers and pamphlets to the community and utilizing a fire truck and EMS as public address units sounding off warning and tips to prevent fire due to improper use and handling of fire crackers.
- Implementation of OPLAN BANTAY SUNOG through which residents are provided with empty drums for water storage for fire emergencies.
- Regular Participation to the âMaging Alerto MandaleÃąoâ during which fire prevention tips and suppression techniques are shared to the community
The Mandaluyong City Fire Station is housed at the 3rd Flr. PNP-BFP-BJMP Complex. The Central Fire Sub-station is located at the ground floor and second floor of the same building. Four other sub-stations, are located in Brgy. Highway Hills, Brgy. Pag-asa, Brgy. Hulo and Brgy. Mauway (Map 2.09)
In 2018, the city experienced a total of 11 major fire incidences which resulted to an estimated P 3,272,000.00 worth of damages to properties (Table 2.22). A third of the major fire occurrences reached up to 3rd degree alarm Residential Fires. A total of 3 civilians and a firefighter were injured in three different instances.
Disaster Preparedness and Risk Management
The city is fortunate to be located on a solid rock foundation that the risks from earthquakes and liquefaction are very minimal. Severe flooding rarely occurs with the improved drainage systems that flush out rain water to the collecting Pasig and San Juan Rivers. The  most  common   disaster occurring in the city is conflagration. Of the 27 barangays in Mandaluyong, 16 are considered fire prone, these being high density residential areas (Map 2.10) wherein informal communities and socialized housing projects are located.
On November 21, 2013, City Ordinance No. 524, s-2013 was approved creating the Mandaluyong City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office pursuant to RA No. 10121, who shall be responsible for setting the direction, development, implementation and coordination of all DRRM programs in the city. The DRRMO also has the mandate to organize, train and directly supervise all city/local emergency response teams and Accredited Disaster Volunteers.
Specific areas in the city most likely to be affected by particular types of hazards are shown in Table 2.23. An inventory of public and private school facilities, gymnasiums and covered courts, barangay halls and other facilities as evacuation centers per type of disaster/calamity is presented in Table 2.24. (See also Map 2.11)

Four (4) government agencies that have nationwide coverage serve women detainees/prisoners and the mentally ill and recovered psychotics. These agencies are located within the Welfareville Compound, a 110.40 hectare property of the Department of Social Welfare and Development strategically located at the center of the city. Locations of these service organizations are shown in Map 2.12
Table 2.25 shows a 4-year comparative report on prevalence of vulnerability of identified vulnerable groups/sectors being served by the CWSD.
Local Council for the Protection of Children
The City Government of Mandaluyong recognizes fully its responsibility to uphold the rights of children for survival, protection, participation and development. On August 4, 2008, the Sangguniang Panlungsod adopted Ordinance No. 405, Sâ2008 entitled: An Ordinance Creating A âMandaluyong City Childrenâs Codeâ which provides for the formulation and implementation of a Development Plan for Children with corresponding Investment Plan and other support mechanisms for child care and development from infancy to adolescence stage. The Ordinance also creates the Local Council for the Protection of Children which was reorganized by way of Executive Order No.003, s-2010 issued by the Hon. Mayor Benjamin C. Abalos, Jr. on August 2, 2010 strengthening the organization and expanding its membership.
The LCPC is backstopped by a Technical Secretariat composed of lead staff of member- offices of the LCPC. The LCPC provides technical support to the different Barangay Council for the Protection of Children and the implementation of its programs in the respective barangays.
On August 13, 2018, Ordinance No. 706, Series of 2018, or the âOrdinance creating the Childrenâs Welfare Code of Mandaluyong City was adopted, thereby amending Ordinance No. 405, Series of 2008, otherwise known as âAn Ordinance creating the Mandaluyong City Childrenâs Code and appropriating funds thereof.ââ
Mandaluyong City has become popular with its child-friendly initiatives and accomplishments that 2011 and succeeding years were busy years for receiving several visitors from both the local and international communities.
