Ongoing is a Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development program highlighting President Ferdinand "Bongbong"  Marcos Jr.'s goal of providing Filipinos with decent shelter through the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino, or 4PH, program.

With the theme "Pambansang Pabahay: Matibay na saligan ng mapayapang pamayanan," DHSUD emphasized that having decent yet affordable homes provide stability and security to a family.

"By having their own decent and safe home, our citizens become more productive members of the community," DHSUD Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar said.

"That is our mission in promoting the National Housing for the Filipino Program of our dear President Bongbong Marcos Jr. — to give every Filipino family a decent and affordable home for the betterment of their lifestyle," he added.

Media blitz

Officials of the DHSUD and its key shelter agencies are expected to appear in various media channels to discuss the mass shelter program.

The DHSUD Regional Offices have also prepared activities for the whole month of October with the participation of KSAs and other stakeholders.

In support to the NSM, the first-ever Philippine Urban Forum is also slated on 5 to 6 October at the Philippine International Convention Center, with the theme "Transforming our cities and building resilient communities."

So far, around 20 projects under the "Pambansang Pabahay" are in various phases of development and construction in different parts of the country.
