President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) were cited by members of several homeowners’ associations in Pampanga and Bataan who received individual Transfer Certificates of Title giving their families the long-awaited security of land ownership.

The distribution of TCTs under the Enhanced Community Mortgage Program was part of the sustained nationwide rollout of the flagship Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program, which aims to provide Filipino families with secure and dignified housing. The initiative continues to expand access to land tenure and strengthen housing security for communities across the country.

The awarding ceremony was led by DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling, Senior Undersecretary Eduardo Robles Jr., Social Housing Finance Corporation president and CEO Federico Laxa and other housing officials.

A total of 342 beneficiary families received land titles at the Sta. Rita, Pampanga covered court.

These included 116 families from Virgen de los Remedios Homeowners Association Phase I and 199 families from Virgen de los Remedios Homeowners Association Phase II, both in Sta. Rita.

Also receiving titles were 13 families from the St. Rosary Village Homeowners Association in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga; nine from the Bagong Diwa Homeowners Association in Pampanga; and five from the Bataan Holy Land Homeowners Association in Bataan.
