Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar urged members of the Chamber of Real Estate Builders’ Association Inc. (CREBA) on Friday to further boost their support to the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program (4PH), the flagship housing program of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s administration.
The housing czar made this call during CREBA’s Annual National Convention in Clark, Pampanga, citing the event not only as forward-looking, but it also inspires resiliency and inclusivity in the housing sector.
According to Acuzar, partner-developers faced challenges in executing 4PH Program but remained determined to produce more housing units to contribute in government’s goal in addressing the housing gaps in the country.
“The government cannot do it alone. We need the support of all stakeholders. We need private partners including CREBA and other developers’ groups. Now more than ever, we need to work together, we need to unite, collaborate and continuously engage to ensure we complement each other’s efforts,” said Acuzar.
“Together, let us turn these challenges into opportunities toward our shared goal of providing safe, decent yet affordable shelters to Filipinos in sustainable communities towards a progressive and stable Bagong Pilipinas,” he added.
Similarly, Acuzar praised CREBA for its unceasing efforts to collaborate with the administration in achieving its goal of addressing the housing needs of Filipinos.
