House backs bigger DHSUD budget to spur housing
Lawmakers are advocating for an increased budget for the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) to support President Marcos Jr.'s Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program.
During budget deliberations for 2026, DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling presented updated targets, including the Zero Backlog Program and digitalization initiatives.
The 4PH Program now encompasses horizontal housing, rental schemes, incremental housing, and a revitalized Community Mortgage Program.
Legislators emphasized the economic multiplier effects of the housing sector, with Rep. Albee Benitez noting that home construction stimulates demand in over 50 allied industries.
Benitez stated that a stronger housing budget makes economic sense and helps more Filipinos.
