A theme park-inspired housing development is taking shape in Misamis Oriental through the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) program of President Marcos, the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) said on Sunday.
The DHSUD is supervising the construction of this project, designed to provide affordable, quality homes to over 10,000 families in the province.
Housing czar Jose Rizalino Acuzar, along with officials from DHSUD and Social Housing Finance Corp. (SHFC), recently inspected the Valley View Township in Barangay Sta. Ana, Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental.
This unique development features several 12-story buildings with integrated commercial spaces, set against a backdrop of lush greenery and mountainous scenery.
“This will be our model township Pambansang Pabahay project here in Mindanao. It has a nice, theme-park look, open park with green and mountain scenery around,”Acuzar said.
The DHSUD chief said he believes future beneficiaries of the project will be inspired to be productive citizens when they decide to live in such a beautiful place.
Emphasizing the importance of communal spaces, Acuzar advocates for substantial allocations for parks, playgrounds, and other amenities. He noted that everyone can feel equal in open parks regardless of their economic status.
The Valley View Township project, managed by SHFC under the leadership of President and CEO Federico Laxa, exemplifies the program’s commitment to improving living standards through innovative housing solutions.
In addition to Valley View, Acuzar also inspected another 4PH project in Tagoloan, which began construction last month.
