Klarexville renamed Pagatpat Valley Residences

The 21^st City Council headed by Vice Mayor Bebot Rodriguez, during its regular session enacted an ordinance changing the name of the housing project formerly known as “Klarexville I – Pagatpat Valley Residences” to “Pagatpat Valley Residences”.

The rebranding of Pagapat Valley Residences is part of a strategic effort to support Johndorf Ventures Corporation’s application for the Alteration of Plan of the said subdivision project with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD).

The proposed 5-storey tenement building project is under the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH) program.

The City Housing and Urban Development Department (CHUDD) recommended the change of project name with recommendation that there is no modification to the approved subdivision development plans, it is purely for project identification and does not affect the rights of the buyers, homeowners, or other stakeholders, among others.

It may also be recalled that the City Council passed Ordinance No. 15299-2026, known as the Anti-Epal Ordinance of 2026, which prohibits city and barangay officials from placing personal names, images, logos, or any form of branding on publicly funded projects and programs, including signages that associate such initiatives with their identity or claim personal credit for public works.

The ordinance aligns with Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Memorandum Circular No. 2026-006, which promotes transparency, accountability, and the proper use of government resources.

The legislative measure was reviewed and endorsed by the committees on subdivision, housing development, and landed estate and on laws and rules both chaired by Councilor Edgar S. Cabanlas. (JBD/SP)
