President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has only been in power for seven months, but House Speaker Martin Romualdez says that the former’s commitment to ensure affordable housing to Filipinos has already “borne fruit”.
Romualdez said in a statement Tuesday morning, Jan. 31 that Marcos, from day one of the administration, “has instructed all of us in government service to move heaven and earth to ensure that affordable housing units will be available to homeless Filipinos”.
“Thanks to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., what used to be a dream for our marginalized countrymen will soon turn into a reality,” said Romualdez, who on Tuesday attended the unveiling and groundbreaking of the Legacy Housing Project of the Marcos administration in Batasan Hills, Quezon City. It is part of the President’s Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program. It is reminiscent of the BLISS holistic housing program of the President’s mother, former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos, when she was minister of human settlements.
“We know how important housing is to Filipinos. Not only will this project bring economic and social stability to Filipino families, it will also help to create jobs and boost the economy,” added the Leytev1st district representative.Romualdez stressed that the Legacy Housing Project “is also a testament how creative and innovative solutions to poverty can help to improve the lives of people in the long-term”.
