RULE I GENERAL PROVISIONS Section 1. Scope of Application These rules and standards shall apply to the development of economic and socialized housing projects in urban and rural areas as defined in Section 2 of BP Blg. 220. They shall apply to the development of either a house and lot or a house or lot only. Section 2. Declaration of Policies It is a policy of the government to promote and encourage the development of economic and socialized housing projects, primarily by the private sector in order to make available adequate economic and socialized housing units for average and low income earners in urban and rural areas.

This minimum design standards encourages the use of duly accredited indigenous materials and technology such as innovative design and systems, modular systems and components among others. The parameters used in formulating these Design Standards are: A. Protection and safety of life, limb, property and general public welfare. B. Basic needs of human settlements, enumerated in descending order as follows: 1. Water 2. Movement and circulation 3. Storm drainage MCM 4. Solid and liquid waste disposal 5. Park/playground 6.
