Semirara and Mining Power Corporation (SMPC) recently spent some P100 million to build 200 houses for its new cadet engineers and foremen in Semirara Island, Antique Province.

We expect to complete the remaining 116 units by the end of the year,” said SMPC president and COO Victor A. Consunji. SMPC has built  nearly 1,500 housing units  for its employees to date. Each house has a total floor area of 43 square meters, and over 250 square meters of available land for backyard vegetable gardening.
