The Marcos administration has commenced the construction of a low-cost rental housing project for the constituents at the University of the Philippines-Los Baños in Laguna under the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program, a Palace official said on Tuesday.
“Alinsunod sa mithiin ng Pangulo na ilapit sa bawat Pilipino ang serbisyo ng gobyerno, kahapon, August 24, ay sinimulan na ang concrete pouring sa itinatayong rental housing units para sa constituents ng UP-Los Baños,” Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said in a Palace press briefing.
“Nitong Marso lamang ginanap ang groundbreaking ceremony ng proyekto… ilang buwan lang ang nakalipas ay full blast na ang construction nito,” she added.
DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling, Senior Undersecretary Eduardo Robles Jr., UP president Angelo Jimenez and UPLB Chancellor Dr. Jose Camacho Jr. were among the event attendees.
According to Castro, the project will have an initial 320 housing units for low-income employees and students of UPLB and informal family settlers around the university.
“Ang mabilis na progreso ng proyekto ay katibayan ng nagpapatuloy na kampanya ng pamahalaan upang maghatid ng maayos at may dignidad na pabahay sa mga mamamayan,” said the Palace Press Officer.
