Marcos reiterates commitment to provide shelters for Pinoys

President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. reiterated Wednesday his commitment to provide shelters to homeless Filipinos.

Marcos attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino program in Palayan City, Nueva Ecija.

"So I’m glad that we are continuing. This is not the first groundbreaking that I have attended. I hope—I know it will not be the last and that we will continue to break ground in different parts around the country para naman ‘yung ating pinapangarap na one million homes a year," Marcos said in his speech.

"One million homes a year, eh pagka naabot natin ‘yun, at least napakalaking bagay na ‘yan na nabigyan natin ng solusyon ang problema ng pabahay ng ating mga kababayan," the President added.

(If we achieve that, that is a big step in addressing housing woes of our countrymen.)

The Palace said that when finished, the community township project will have 44 towers that can accommodate 11,000 housing units.

It will also feature a market area, livelihood center, health center, and elementary school, among other planned amenities and infrastructures.

The Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program is a flagship housing project under the Marcos administration, which aims to provide homes to six million Filipinos and generate around 1.7 million jobs every year from 2023 to 2028.—AOL, GMA Integrated News
