ZAMBOANGA CITY — Residents of Sitio Hongkong in Barangay Rio Hondo here, mostly Badjaos, live in constant fear of being thrown into the sea when their houses on stilts collapse. They were given houses built by the National Housing Authority (NHA). He said when the Badjaos moved in, the foundations of the houses on stilts were the first subject of their complaints. She added that her family could land in the water if the stilts of their house gave way. The footbridge was built in 2016 as part of a P53-million NHA housing project, said Architect Susan Montano of the NHA central office in Manila.
