The administration’s flagship housing initiative— the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program— will continue to be implemented beyond the term of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
This was the reassuring statement of Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar when asked about the direction of the agency for the 4PH beyond 2028.
“Iyong programa po ng ating administrasyon, tatapusin po ito,” Acuzar said in a Palace interview on Friday.
“Kahit sino po ang pumalit dito, tuluy-tuloy pa rin iyong ating pambansang pabahay,” he said.
The DHSUD is aiming to build around three million units by 2028.
According to Acuzar, DHSUD is currently undertaking around 55 projects across the country, totaling around 170,000 units.
He also mentioned that they have partnered with private institutions to implement and fund these projects.
“Gamit nito ay private funds ano. Iyong private funds, kapag kinuwenta mo lahat ng gastos dito na hindi galing sa gobyerno, ang funding nakuha natin sa private funds, almost P170 billion,” Acuzar said.
“In other words, gumagalaw ang housing projects natin ngayon na hindi tayo gumagamit ng government funds,” he added. PND
