The two associations secured land acquisition loans from SHFC in February 2004 through the Enhanced Community Mortgage Program (ECMP), a key housing-finance modality under the Expanded 4PH Program.
Together, the associations have 427 members who will benefit from the land ownership program.
Aliling said the development reflects the government’s continuing effort to provide organized communities with security of tenure through the Expanded 4PH Program.
“Under the Expanded 4PH, we are not only promoting housing but also security of tenure, in line with President BBM’s directive. Every title we award is a concrete step toward providing our fellow Filipinos with a more dignified way of living,” Aliling said.
He said the DHSUD, through the SHFC, would continue strengthening the ECMP to help more organized communities secure land tenure and improve their living conditions.
“After 22 years of waiting, we have finally awarded them their titles. This proves that through the sustained cooperation between the government and communities, we can advance security of tenure for more Filipino families,” he added.
The activity was part of the Community Mortgage Program’s 38th anniversary celebration, themed “Bahay, Buhay, Magandang Kinabukasan,” highlighting the program’s continuing role in helping organized communities secure land ownership and build more stable neighborhoods.
