This area is formerly owned by private oil company, this site was formerly known as Exxon Phils. Not until the former City Mayor of Manila, Lito Atienza, passed a city ordinance that canceled their operation, and been ordered to abandon the area, Godspeed when the one who owned this place is a member of Couples for Christ, had been negotiated to sell this area to CBCP, and so the Late Cardinal planned to start building the new church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish to replace the old one. Along with the plan is to build a Parochial School, and a residential area for the indigents...

  • Project Started in 2003, size of selected area is wrong. Kindly see the correct size of JCSV area in upcoming places. Thank You. JTBDCI
  • Additional info: Project was officially launched on 4-4-4 (April 4 2004). Since then, it has brought back many parishioners back to serving God through this parish. JCSV is indeed a community. It has several buildings which house a number of poor but happy families. It has a school which helps enriching the minds of the young people, preparing them to be good citizens of the world. At the heart of it, is the Church which is made stronger and alive by different ministries with Worship, Social Service and Development and Education to name a few. Parishioners of Punta are really grateful for this wonderful blessing. Salamat sa pagpupursigi ni Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin. (Thanks to Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin for his hardwork and determination) Praise and glory be to God! (Side note: I miss this place so much. I used to serve here but I'm currently in a foreign assignment. I'm looking forward to go home and serve again.)
  • I'm grateful that this kind of housing was developed for the poor families around Punta, because my family is one of the beneficiaries. Though I'm quite concerned about how it was built, the materials used and and all of the things necessary for making it withstand earthquakes, typhoons and fires. I heard some people comparing it to the old building beside it (tenement) stating that if a strong earthquake strikes it'll be the first who will fall into rubble. That catches my attention and worries me a lot. Now i am anxious to know and seeking for facts about how it was built or who developed it. Still am thankful enough to the late Jaime Cardinal Sin for this blessing.
  • sad to say..buildings inside are lack of maintenance
