"Klarexville" a Socialized Housing Project

Klarexville refers to a series of socialized housing projects in Cagayan de Oro, aligned with the national government’s Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program (4PH). The initiative has been rolled out across several locations, including Barangay Lumbia (planned as a 60-hectare township), Barangay Pagatpat (Klarexville 1), Barangay Carmen (Klarexville 2), and Barangay San Simon (Klarexville 4). The projects are designed to help address the city’s housing backlog by providing thousands of units for low-income and underserved families. In Barangay Pagatpat alone, more than 2,200 housing units are planned. Funding comes from a combination of local and national sources. The City Government allocates funds through approved budgets, such as the 2025 Executive Annual Budget under City Ordinance No. 14905-2024, while national support is provided by agencies like the Social Housing Finance Corporation and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development, which play key roles in financing and implementing housing programs. In February 2026, the City Council passed City Ordinance No. 15299-2026, also known as the Anti-Epal Ordinance, which discourages naming public projects after elected or appointed officials. Earlier observations from Commission on Audit (COA) Region X noted that branding such as “Klarexville” may raise concerns under guidelines that prohibit the use of public resources for personal promotion.
