MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) announced Wednesday that 937 employees of the San Fernando City administration in Pampanga had been given housing units.

The formal handover of housing units to the recipients was led by DHSUD Secretary Eduardo del Rosario and Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) President Ricardo Arnolfo Cabling on Tuesday.

The housing project is a one-story rowhouse with a loft that was constructed through the SHFC’s Turnkey Community Mortgage Program, which began two years ago.

Del Rosario said in a statement that he is pleased with the housing unit designs.

The project, according to the housing czar, demonstrates the government’s commitment to providing every Filipino, particularly the poor, with quality, sustainable, and more affordable housing units.

DHSUD will also provide a grant to build a perimeter fence around the settlement site “to safeguard the security of the people,” according to Del Rosario.

It will also construct a multi-purpose covered court and a daycare center, eliminating the need for residents to drive outside of their neighborhoods.

“This is a model neighborhood.” To andito na lahat, mami-minimize mga tao movement, yan ang tinatawag nating township. Ang aalis lang yung mga empleyado nakatira dito para pumasok sa mga opisina Only employees are allowed to leave the building to go to work),” del Rosario explained.

He went on to say that the project will serve as a model for additional socialized housing projects in San Fernando that will be pushed forward by the DHSUD and SHFC.

“In terms of housing, that is the Duterte administration’s program.” (That is the Duterte administration’s housing program.) Gusto natin na ang mga housing complexes, housing units, ay disente, livable at pwedeng mong ipagmalaki We want each unit in our housing developments to be decent, habitable, and something you can be proud of),” del Rosario said.

Mayor Edwin Santiago of San Fernando said the initiative will be a big benefit to low-income civil officials who want to acquire a home.

Cabling pledged that they will continue to cooperate with the government, through DHSUD, and local governments, to pursue programs that will benefit low-income earners around the country.

SHFC’s Turnkey Community Mortgage Program aims to improve the living conditions of poor Filipino families by providing an affordable financing scheme that allows them to borrow as a group to purchase land they want to occupy or relocate to, with a cheaper amortization rate.

Last year, more than 8,000 informal settler households received government loan aid totaling PHP1.6 billion, with the Community Mortgage Program benefiting more than 350,000 families since 1988.
