Manila Bulletin
|February 17, 2026
President Marcos said over 423,000 housing units have been built or financed since he assumed office, as he reaffirmed the administration's push to expand access to safe and affordable homes under the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para Sa Pilipino (4PH) Program.
The President revealed this when he led the awarding of new homes at the Megawide Precast Plant in Taytay, Rizal, which coincided with the seventh anniversary of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), the lead agency for housing and urban development, established under Republic Act No. 11201 in 2019.
In his speech, the President noted that the government has built and financed more than 423,000 housing units from July 2022 to January 2026.
“We have come a long way, but we continue to strive to reach our housing targets in the coming years,” Marcos said.
