President Marcos Jr. offers housing project lead to Manila Mayor Isko Moreno

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. teased Manila Mayor Isko Moreno to lead the Philippines' housing projects, specifically the National Housing Authority (NHA) or the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD).

Marcos made these remarks after lauding Moreno for the rapid completion of over 200 housing units in just 3 months, stating that national housing agencies could learn from his approach.

The President expressed that the speed of completion was "a dream" for national agencies like the NHA and DHSUD.

He made these comments during the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the San Lazaro Residences in Sta. Cruz, Manila.

The San Lazaro Residences project is a P1.9-billion initiative by the Manila local government unit, featuring 382 housing units, a PhilHealth office, an administration office, a function room, an outdoor area, and a swimming pool.

This development comes after Malacañang admitted earlier in the year that the administration failed to reach its target of completing one million public housing units annually due to challenges in processing development loans and securing right of way permits.
