It may ambitious for the government to target the production of at least 6.5 million houses within the term of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., but Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar believes it is definitely "doable with strong collaboration" between the public and private sectors.

At the sidelines of this year's National Shelter Month culmination, Acuzar highlighted the crucial efforts of the government partnering with financial institutions to address the country's millions of housing backlogs.

For the entire six years, Acuzar said the government will see to it that every Filipino family will get easy access to affordable, decent, and safe housing units.

"It's a collaborative project of the national government, local governments, and the private sector to push an effective housing program in the Philippines," Acuzar said.
