The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) is opening 2025 with optimism on the delivery of more housing units under the flagship Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar vowed more 4PH units are soon to be delivered to beneficiaries, citing the completion of several buildings in various project sites.
“We are now starting to reap the initial results of 4PH projects–decent, safe and affordable housing units in condominium-type developments,” Acuzar said. “In the coming weeks, we expect continuous turnover of 4PH units to our beneficiaries.”
Over 1,000 applications under 4PH are now being processed by Pag-IBIG Fund in at least four project sites. Pag-IBIG Fund is supporting the 4PH Projects in Palayan City, Bacolod City and Bocaue in Bulacan.
The Social Housing Finance Corp. has two projects in the final phases of completion of some buildings—the Crystal Peak Estates in San Fernando City, Pampanga and the People’s Ville in Davao City.
Currently, there are 56 ongoing projects under 4PH in various phases of construction and development in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Acuzar said it took two years for these 4PH projects to be realized due to shift to vertical housing, or the condominium-type development, and delays in documentary requirements on the part of private partners.
Under 4PH, the DHSUD is prioritizing condominium buildings to maximize the use of government lands in housing.
Acuzar assured that just like commercial condominium projects, all 4PH projects would come with generous open spaces as common areas for parks, playgrounds and club houses.
