Interviewer instructions
<span class="em">H5-Acquisition of the Housing Unit</span>
<br />Ask the respondent the question in H5: "How did you acquire this housing unit?" only if the entry in H4 is owned/being amortized (code "1"). Write "X" in the box which describes how the household acquired the housing unit.
<br />The different categories for this item are:</p>
<div class="i1">[] 1.<span class="em">Inherited </span>- The housing unit was transmitted by mode of succession upon death of an individual to another family member. This may also include those properties transmitted by a living person, in contemplation of death, provided that the same is irrevocable. The inheritance may be testate or intestate. Filipino terms are "minana or pinasa".<br />[] 2.<span class="em"> Gift </span>- The housing unit was donated or bequeathed, without any consideration other than gratuity. This gift may be documented or implied. Filipino terms are "regalo" or "bigay".<br />[] 3. <span class="em">Company Benefit </span>- The dweller was allowed to stay in the premises as a privilege accorded by the company/employer. Common arrangements include dormitories, staff houses, bed space, quarters, or barracks. The arrangement may be free, with rental, or with a minimal fee. However, housing provided by the company but being amortized by the dweller shall be considered as purchased.<br />[] 4.<span class="em"> Purchased </span>- The dwelling unit may be amortized/acquired through a housing loan/mortgage (through Pag-IBIG, SSS, GSIS, banks, and other financial institutions), or through arrangements with another person. Documents for purchase include Real Estate Mortgage, Deed of Sale, or Contract to Sell and usually involve the Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT).<br />[] 5. <span class="em">Others</span>, Specify</div><p>Examples of other mode of acquiring the housing unit are:</p>
<div class="i1">[] 1 Rights -- In the event the respondent answers "binili ang rights" of the land, it is suggested that this be noted as "Rights" instead of purchase. If the "rights of the land" was purchased from another person, as in the case of those living in squatter areas, this does not constitute a transfer of ownership of the land and the transaction is not recognized by the government.<br />[] 2. Awarded -- refers to lots/dwelling units awarded by the government, LGU, or other legal entities (Gawad Kalinga, Habitat for Humanity) based on a legally binding document (Certificate of Entitlement to LotAward, Certification of Lot Award, Certification of Allocation, or Certificate of Eligibility). There may be conditions set before a dweller could qualify as beneficiary, as in the case of a dweller required to pay a certain amount for the award. This category also refers to lots/dwelling units wherein sale has yet to be consummated.<br />[] 3. This may also refer to a housing unit acquired as a prize of raffles, contests, and similar activities.</div><p>If the answer to this question is inherited, gift, company benefit or others, skip to H8.
