PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. reassured Filipinos of the government’s round-the-clock work despite the challenges the country is experiencing because of the war in the Middle East. In his latest vlog, Marcos reiterated his administration’s commitment to continuously provide social services meant to alleviate the lives of Filipinos. “You know, even though our energy crisis is severe, the government’s work cannot stop there. The construction of streets and roads continues; the caring for the sick and students continues; the eradication of crime cannot stop, nor can the support for our athletes, culture, art, and tourism,” he said. “We will not allow the services provided by the government to be paralyzed, regardless of the problems that lie ahead,” he said. One initiative the government is focused on is shelter. The president said that through the Pambansang Pabahay para Pilipino Program, or 4PH, the housing gap would be narrowed and more Filipinos would have homes they could truly call their own.One of the latest 4PH sites Marcos inspected is the township project in Palayan City, Nueva Ecija. Covering 23 hectares, the Palayan township is a vertical housing community that blends residential buildings with open spaces and shared facilities. Once completed, it will provide housing for 22,596 beneficiaries. Units are priced at about P1.3 million for 29 sqm, with no down payment and an affordable monthly amortization ranging from P3,500 to P4,000 — making homeownership attainable even for minimum wage earners. “For those who still lack housing, we will find a way to provide housing for everyone who needs it,” Marcos said.
