Malacañang Palace reported that a total of 1,000 Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program (4PH) beneficiaries now have their own Transfer of Certificate Titles, as the Marcos administration continues its quest for the expansion of its housing agenda.

“Informal settlers no more…” Palace press officer, Presidential Communications Office Undersecretary Claire Castro, said in a briefing on Monday.

 
She added: “Dahil sa ilalim ng expanded 4-PH program ng Pangulo, mas maraming Pilipino na ang nakakamit ang kanilang hinahangad na titulo!”

Castro said more than 200 beneficiaries from the San Isidro Labrador Homeowners Association and over 800 beneficiaries from Sitio Santo Niño in Antipolo recently received their Transfer Certificates of Title during an awarding ceremony led by the Social Housing Financing Corporation (SHFC).

“Para sa ibang benepisyaryo, mahigit 25 years ang kanilang hinintay para makamit ang pangarap na titulo ng lupa,” Castro said, emphasizing the long-standing struggle of many recipients before the program’s intervention.

The housing program’s implementation is being carried out through the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) , with officials noting intensified efforts under Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling to accelerate land tenure and housing delivery.

Castro stressed that the initiative goes beyond land distribution, framing it as part of a broader social protection effort.

The latest batch of land title distributions underscores the steady rollout of the 4PH program, which remains a centerpiece of President Marcos' housing and social welfare agenda, aimed at addressing decades-long housing backlogs and securing tenure for low-income families.
