On Thursday, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) held a groundbreaking ceremony for an affordable housing project in New Clark City as part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino program.
The project will initially deliver 840 housing units within two years, with plans to expand to over 3,400 residential units on a 5.84-hectare site.
BCDA chairperson Larry Paredes emphasized the significance of the project in empowering Filipinos and bringing lasting impact for generations.
The development includes green parks, community spaces, sports facilities, retail zones, and modern utilities to support sustainable living.
The Affordable Housing Project aims to align with Marcos' goal of building one million housing units annually and will prioritize local employment during construction and operations.
Human Settlements Undersecretary Emmanuel D. Pineda highlighted that the project represents a tangible step forward in achieving Bagong Pilipinas, where housing is a right for all Filipinos.
