WORK on the second Bahrain Gawad Kalinga (GK) Village in the Philippines is expected to be completed by the end of next year, it was revealed.

The first project was completed in December last year and included 40 houses to shelter 40 families, a medical clinic and basketball court.

The official handover took place on April 26 and work on the second village began three days later at Banban Tarlac, in the central Philippines.

GK is a Philippines-based movement that envisions building 700,000 homes in 7,000 communities in seven years.

The 777 project was formally launched on October 4, 2003, with October 4, 2010, as the target date for delivery.
