According to the President, the administration’s concept is to provide families with shelter not only for poor residents but also for employed people who struggle to have decent housing.Housing agencies and developers must consider providing their housing projects with facilities and necessities like water, power, schools, markets as well as transport hubs, Mr. Marcos said.
The President expressed his gratitude to the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and to the Palayan City local government for their efforts in spearheading the housing project, stressing that collaboration is necessary for ventures like shelter projects. Under the three-phase project, 5,100 housing units will be built first, with support infrastructure such as an elementary school, livelihood center, administrative offices, a central park, basketball court, a mini market and hawker area, aquaponics area, sewage treatment plant, and materials recovery facility.
He said the 6 million houses may be just another target to accomplish “but imagine giving 6 million families houses they can call their own.”
