Housing czar Jose Rizalino Acuzar on Sunday ordered all regional directors (RDs) of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD to fast-track the implementation of Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program within their jurisdictions.
He urged all RDs to take President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s shelter program as an opportunity to better serve and uplift the lives of underprivileged Filipino.
“Each house we build means we are helping one Filipino family,” he said.
“Let us all be inspired and always remember that we uplift the dignity of every Filipino family that would benefit from 4PH,” he added.
Acuzar previously met with the agency’s 16 RDs and officers in charge, along with their key to expedite the implementation of 4PH throughout the country by ironing out issues and concerns being faced on the ground.
He emphasized the need for all DHSUD offices to have “one direction” in rolling out the Pambansang Pabahay program.
He underscored the vital role of the regional offices to achieve the goal of 4PH to build one million houses per year until 2028 to address the country’s housing backlog pegged at more than 6.5 million units.
