Tahanan Village Update (May 9, 2019)

In recent times, the water supply interruption experienced by Maynilad customers in South Metro Manila became a hassle for many families and business establishments.

During my recent visit at Tahanan Village in Parañaque City, I noticed the Tahanan Homeowners Association, Inc. (THA) issued a new bulletin through its official publication Tahanan Flash. It deals with the recent water supply problems and clarifies who in their village is responsible with the Maynilad water tanker deliveries into the village, etc.

Also take note that in order for a household to be served with water from Maynilad, the homeowner must call 1626 first and be patient for the water to be delivered which can take days. No call, no pre-assignment, no water.

For clarity, posted below is the full page of the Tahanan Flash. Read and learn. Please share this article to others. Thanks.

My Observations: Tahanan Village’s HOA Makes Notable Announcements (April 2019)

I recently passed by Tahanan Village in Barangay BF Homes, Parañaque City, and apart from their election (which took place on April 6 and 7) for the new directors to form part of the Board of Directors (BOD) of the Tahanan Homeowners Association, Inc. (THA), I learned some important details worth sharing here. These details can help you, especially if you are organizing a homeowners’ association (HOA).

Report by the THA President

On April 1, 2019, or five days before the village election took place, the THA BOD led by their President Augusto Tejada published a report in the form of a 3-page document which I posted below for your viewing pleasure.

It’s a report about what the HOA has been doing for the past year.

The most notable items were:

  1. Continued security of the village provided by Bulldog Security resulting the handling of 31 incidents (examples: disputes between neighbors, dugo-dugo attempts), the limiting of the akyat-bahay incident into just one, and continued foot and bicycle patrols around the village.
  2. Some progress achieved on taming over-speeding vehicles within the village by means of the installation of traffic regulatory signs and speed humps (which were quite expensive to do by the way). There is a need however to acquire speed guns or devices that can help the THA read the speed, plate license and capture images of over-speeding vehicles.
  3. Continued repairs on the concrete road cracks. There is a need however to use a roller to compact asphalt down the concrete cracks and already the THA consulted with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Future developments

The THA’s Directors approved the following projects:

  1. The installation of an ATM (automatic teller machine) within the village, specifically at the area in front of the gazebo near the office gate. Already the association negotiated with Sterling Bank and the casing of the ATM will be deigned by a local architect. Installation schedule is May 2019. If this project is realized, it means villagers do not need to go all the way out of Tahanan Village to withdraw money.
  2. Replacing the current closed circuit television (CCTV) with a more advanced model. This one had to be done because the current model does not have the new functionalities to protect the village from the entry and exit of criminal elements.

But there is more!

For future activities, the THA announced it will be organizing the Tahanan LIFEBLOOD ’19 Love Life – Give Blood Program which is in partnership with Red Cross. This will take place on June 1, 2019 (Saturday, 9AM to 3PM) at the village’s multi-purpose hall and it is open to all homeowners, relatives, staff and friends. Minimum age requirement is 16 years.

The activity’s purpose is to create a supply of fresh blood needed for emergencies within the community, especially if accidents, surgeries, Dengvaxia-related cases, Dengue cases and other unfortunate events happen.

Those who are willing to donate blood should contact the THA’s main office by calling 842-5955 (Weng) or 09175351072 (Dr. Maricar Silva) or 09178155679 (Richard Estuesta).

That’s all for today for community news. I end this post with the 3-page report by THA President Tejada.
