President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has directed the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) to build more quality government housing located closer to workplaces, transport terminals, and essential services to improve the quality of life of Filipino families.

The order was given during a Malacañan meeting with DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling and other agencies to review catch-up plans for the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program and other housing initiatives.

According to Palace Press Officer Claire Castro, the President also instructed DHSUD to promote flexible and affordable housing options for low- and middle-income families, including rental housing.

“Ipinag-utos din ng Pangulo ang pagkakaroon ng mas simpleng proseso para makapagbayad,” added Castro.

Marcos Jr. also stressed the need to ensure decent, affordable, and quality housing for Filipino families under government housing programs. IMT
