The Pag-IBIG Fund, National Housing Authority (NHA) and the Social Housing
Finance Corporation (SHFC) signed an agreement on Labor Day to construct
almost 8,000 housing units in major cities as part of the government’s flagship
Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino or 4PH Program.
Under the agreements, Pag-IBIG Fund will provide project financing to support
the construction of housing developments by NHA and SHFC in strategic
locations in Valenzuela City, San Fernando, Pampanga, Davao City and Manila.
“We are happy to report that the Pag-IBIG Fund, NHA and SHFC continue to forge strong
partnerships in support of the 4PH Program’s goal of providing quality yet affordable
homes, especially to underserved families,” said Secretary Jose Rizalino L. Acuzar, who
chairs the 11-member Pag-IBIG Fund Board of Trustees and heads the Department
of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD). “In line with President
Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s directive to close the country’s housing gap, the DHSUD’s key
shelter agencies remain united in our mission to ensure that every Filipino family has
access to decent and affordable housing.”
The new housing projects include a medium-rise condominium with 372 units in
Valenzuela City through NHA, as well as mid- and high-rise developments
through SHFC: 3,440 units in San Fernando, Pampanga; 1,200 units in Calinan
District, Davao City; 2,135 units in Tondo, Manila; and 425 units in Sta. Mesa,
Manila. All these projects will be financed through Pag-IBIG Fund’s Direct
Developmental Loan Program, a facility specially designed by the agency to
support the implementation of the 4PH Program.
Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta said the agency is fully
aligned with the administration’s housing vision and emphasized Pag-IBIG
Fund’s role in both institutional and individual housing financing.
“This initiative is part of our unwavering commitment to uplift the lives of Filipino
workers by providing them with access to safe, decent, and affordable homes,” Acosta said.
“Through our continued collaboration with NHA and SHFC, we are helping build
inclusive communities and contribute to the broader goal of national development.”
Through its partnership with shelter agencies, Pag-IBIG Fund will not only finance
the construction of these projects but also offer end-user housing loans under
affordable terms for eligible beneficiaries in line with 4PH guidelines.
