Acuzar on his way out as housing chief?

Housing Secretary Jerry Acuzar may soon be replaced, with the Marcos administration reportedly considering younger leaders to fast-track housing goals.

Acuzar launched the ambitious 4PH program targeting 6 million homes by 2028. While over 1.5 million units have broken ground, many remain unfinished, and questions linger about affordability for low-income families.

Critics say his business-style approach lacked grassroots connection and clear financing plans, leaving some projects stalled or out of reach for intended beneficiaries.

Insiders say the Palace wants fresh energy and better results heading into the second half of the term.

If confirmed, the shake-up could mark a shift toward more inclusive and action-driven housing leadership.
