Manila: One of the top producers of socialized housing in the country has committed more than 35,000 units to the government's Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program.

According to Philippines News Agency, this commitment follows the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling's announcement to include horizontal developments in the recalibrated housing program.

In a news release, Aliling stated that Raemulan Lands Inc. (RLI) chief executive officer Eileen Uy Doyle has sent a letter of commitment to deliver 35,656 housing units over the next two years. The construction of some of these units is currently ongoing in the provinces of Pampanga, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal.

"This is a clear indication that the expansion of 4PH to horizontal developments is on the right track to rally more private partners to join the President's program. With more partners expected to come in, we can produce more housing units faster," Aliling said. "We need to be more inclusive. We hear the clamor of LGUs (local government units) and other partners for horizontal developments so that they can be more affordable," he added.

RLI has been recognized by Pag-IBIG Fund as the top developer nationwide for three consecutive years, from 2020 to 2022. The firm was also awarded the highest number of socialized housing units taken out nationwide for the years 2022 to 2024 and in the National Capital Region for 2024.
