DHSUD-7, Tagbilaran City Strengthen Partnership for Expanded 4PH Housing Initiatives.

The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Region VII, led by Regional Director Engr. Mark Anthony L. Lindugan, paid a courtesy visit to Mayor Jane C. Cajes-Yap to strengthen collaboration on the implementation of the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program in Tagbilaran City.

The meeting centered on the proposed rental housing project under the Expanded 4PH Program, an initiative that seeks to provide safe, affordable, and sustainable housing for underserved Filipino families while addressing the city’s growing housing needs.

During the discussions, the City Government of Tagbilaran also expressed its interest in participating in the Enhanced Community Mortgage Program (ECMP) as part of the Expanded 4PH framework. The initiative aims to provide organized communities with greater opportunities to secure land tenure and develop sustainable housing solutions, further complementing the city’s efforts to address the housing needs of low-income and underprivileged residents.

Mayor Jane C. Cajes-Yap conveyed the local government’s full support for the national housing agenda of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., implemented through the leadership of DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling. She reaffirmed the city’s commitment to working closely with DHSUD in advancing housing initiatives that will expand access to decent, secure, and affordable homes for its constituents.

Regional Director Lindugan underscored the importance of strong collaboration between the national government and local government units in realizing the goals of the Expanded 4PH Program. He emphasized that initiatives such as the rental housing modality and the Enhanced Community Mortgage Program reflect the government’s commitment to delivering inclusive, sustainable, and people-centered housing solutions tailored to the diverse needs of Filipino communities.

The meeting reaffirmed the shared commitment of DHSUD Region VII and the City Government of Tagbilaran to advancing accessible and sustainable housing programs, reinforcing the administration’s Bagong Pilipinas vision of building resilient communities and improving the quality of life of every Filipino.
