Rep. Risa Hontiveros filed House Bill 6111 which seeks to amend Republic Act 7229 or the Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA). The measure was warmly welcomed by urban poor groups and NGOs working for the interest of the poor in urban areas.

The bill "AN ACT TO STRENGTHEN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RIGHT AGAINST FORCED EVICTION AMENDING FOR THIS PURPOSE PROVISIONS OF THE REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7279 OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING ACT OF 1992" seeks to extend the coverage of the UDHA rather than those who are covered only upon the effectivity of the law. It also strengthens the implementation of Section 28 by metting administrative sanction against those who violate the provisions of the law for humane eviction.

Although the bill is not an omnibus amendment, it addresses the important issue in the implementation of udha. Urban poor movements have a very comprehensive critique and recommendation on addressing the housing problem in the Philippines.
