The Department of Human Settlement and Urban Development (DHSUD) on Sunday said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program has the support of the urban poor who are also willing to take part in the flagship program.
The Urban Poor Action Committee (UPAC) met with DHSUD key officials, led by Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar, for a dialogue on the marginalized sector’s shelter concerns and their consequent recommendations to the 4PH.
Madeline Suarez from UPAC lauded the administration’s flagship program, citing that their proposed People’s Plan would be considered under the PambansangPabahay.
She presented the housing projects between the members of UPAC and the residents of the concerned communities, including the 96,600-square meter Parola, Manila project with 25,000 families; the 49-hectare Baseco Port Area project in Manila with 24,000 beneficiary families; the 10-hectare Camarin DHSUD property in Caloocan City to benefit 6,000 families, and the 17-hectare National Government Center project in Quezon City to benefit 30,000 families.
The government and UPAC also tackled the land dispute in Lupang Arenda.
Acuzar reassured the groups that he would push for the fast-tracking of a special order for a technical working group creation.
