DHSUD vows to sustain housing momentum following admin's positive rating
DHSUD announces the possible takeout of some 400 condominium-type units at the people’s Ville housing project in Davao City under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s flagship 4PH Program.
The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) vowed to sustain the positive momentum gained in the nationwide implementation of the administration's flagship Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program.
This follows the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, which showed 59 percent of Filipinos were satisfied with the administration of President Marcos Jr., while those dissatisfied dropped to 23 percent.
In terms of the administration’s performance on issues, the Chief Executive received a +65 rating in helping disaster victims, classified as "very good," and +49 in implementing housing programs for the poor, which is considered "good."
The DHSUD, under Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar, has been spearheading the nationwide implementation of the flagship 4PH. In fact, some partner local government units have already started delivering housing units to beneficiaries since December.
At least 56 projects under 4PH are now in various stages of development and construction, with some condominium-type buildings already completed in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Also, under the current administration, the DHSUD has been actively involved in disaster response, launching two programs for calamity victims last year and playing a key role in the "conveyor belt of aid" ordered by the President following a series of destructive typhoons.
The DHSUD distributed housing materials and essentials (HOMEs) to victims of typhoons and provided unconditional cash assistance ranging from P10,000 to P30,000 under its Integrated Disaster Shelter Assistance Program (IDSAP).
"Malinaw po ang utos ng mahal na Pangulong Bongbong Marcos Jr. ipaabot natin ang lahat ng pwedeng tulong sa ating mga kababayan, kami sa DHSUD sa pamamagitan ng disente, ligtas at abot-kayang pabahay (The order of President Bongbong Marcos Jr. is clear: Let’s extend all possible help to our countrymen. We at DHSUD will do so through decent, safe, and affordable housing.)," Acuzar said.
At the same time, the housing czar welcomed the +49 rating received by the administration in implementing its pro-poor housing program.
