THREE private developers have committed to deliver more than 50,000 housing units over the next three years in line with a plan of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) to expand the government flagship Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program (4PH) to include ‘horizontal development.”
The DHSUD said Raemulan Lands Inc., (RLI), 8990 Deca Homes and Fiesta Communities Inc. have vowed to build 51,541 housing units for 4PH until 2028.
“This is a great start for our recalibrated 4PH, a strong indication that we are on the right track in expanding President Marcos’ flagship housing program to include horizontal developments. This will surely boost private sector’s confidence to the program,” DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling said.
“We will continue to explore all feasible modalities under recalibrated 4PH, not only to prop up the numbers, but more importantly, as our way of listening to clamor from stakeholders,” he added.
RLI chief executive Eileen Uy Doyle, in a letter to Aliling, vowed to deliver 35,656 units in Pampanga, Cavite, Bulacan and Laguna to the expanded 4PH.
On the other hand, Fiesta Communitiies executive Christopher Ryan Tan said they could build least 6,387 units.
8888/Deca Homes president Vincent Sotto pledged 9,498 houses.
Aliling, a civil engineer, believes he could sustain and improve 4PH by integrating horizontal developments into 4PH.
He said the agency is currently crafting the guidelines for the new modality.
