MANILA, Philippines - The National Housing Authority has given more than 570 families 30 days to leave the condemned Vitas tenement in Tondo, Manila, Vice President Jejomar Binay said yesterday.

Binay said the tenement, condemned in 1994, may not withstand a strong earthquake. As chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, Binay said the government has prepared a relocation site for the residents at Towerville VI in Gaya-gaya, San Jose del Monte, Bulacan.

He said 80 families have volunteered to transfer to the relocation site before the end of March. – Jose Rodel Clapano, Sandy Araneta
