The Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and Pag-IBIG Fund inspected housing projects and turned over completed house-and-lot units in Tarlac on July 8, as the Marcos administration continues to expand access to affordable housing through the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (Expanded 4PH) Program.
DHSUD Secretary Jose Ramon P. Aliling and Pag-IBIG Fund Chief Executive Officer Marilene C. Acosta led the inspection of Kaia Homes and Brentwood Residences, two residential developments that together offer 8,088 townhouse units for Filipino families.
“The Expanded 4PH Program is delivering on President Marcos’ directive to give every Filipino family a real opportunity to own a home. The completed housing units we saw today in Tarlac, including homes ready for occupancy, show that the program is not just a promise on paper. These are actual homes being built and turned over to Filipino families,” Aliling said.
He added that stronger collaboration between the government and private developers is helping transform homeownership into reality for more Filipinos.
At Brentwood Residences, DHSUD and Pag-IBIG officials also turned over house-and-lot units to Pag-IBIG housing loan borrowers, continuing a series of inspections and turnover activities recently conducted in Batangas, Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Laguna, Bacolod, and other parts of the country.
Brentwood Residences, developed by Apec Homes, is a 7.4-hectare project with 1,022 townhouse units priced between ₱850,000 and ₱1.2 million.
Meanwhile, Kaia Homes, developed by Citihomes Builder and Development Inc., spans 47.8 hectares and features 7,066 townhouse units priced from ₱999,000 to ₱1.16 million.
Eligible socialized housing units in both developments qualify for Pag-IBIG Fund’s housing loan under the Expanded 4PH Program, which offers a subsidized 3% interest rate to help make monthly amortizations more affordable for qualified borrowers.
Acosta said Pag-IBIG Fund remains committed to supporting the government’s housing agenda by providing accessible financing for Filipino workers.
“Secretary Aliling and DHSUD are making sure that more quality housing options reach Filipino families under the Expanded 4PH Program. Pag-IBIG Fund’s role is to help our qualified members afford these homes through low interest rates and manageable monthly payments that fit an ordinary worker’s budget,” she said.
Acosta also urged borrowers to pay their housing loans on time, noting that prompt payments help sustain Pag-IBIG Fund’s financing programs and enable more Filipino families to benefit from affordable homeownership.
DHSUD and Pag-IBIG Fund said they will continue conducting inspections and turnover activities in more provinces as additional Expanded 4PH housing projects are completed under the Marcos administration.
