ANGELES CITY — “An opportunity of a lifetime for Angeleños to have decent housing.”
Thus, declared Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. as he led the groundbreaking ceremony for the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Project in Barangay Mining on Feb. 27.
The 4PH was made affordable for Angeleños since the national government will subsidize the cost of the housing units. Each will cost P1.23 million of 27 square meters with additional P400,000 for a parking slot.
Housing loan borrowers who will avail themselves of units under the 4PH program through a Pag-IBIG Housing Loan will enjoy an even lower interest rate than what Pag-IBIG Fund currently provides, which is already considered the lowest in the market.
Pampanga 1st District Rep. Carmelo “Jon” Lazatin II, Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabiting, members of the city council, Lazatin chief adviser IC Calaguas, Executive Assistant IV Reina Manuel, department heads, and officials of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) joined Mayor Lazatin during the groundbreaking ceremony.
“Malaking bagay ito para sa ating mga kababayan para magkaroon ng sarili nilang mga bahay, na maayos, ligtas, at nasa sentro ng siyudad,” enthused the mayor.
The 4PH Program is a comprehensive initiative designed to make homeownership accessible for low-income Angeleños.
Through the collaboration between the city government, DHSUD, and other agencies like Pag-IBIG Fund, this program provides subsidized housing units, lower interest rates, and convenient payment options.
The project comprises 10 buildings of six-storeys, with 245 residential units each bringing the total to 2,450 residential units.
The housing project will also feature 200 slots of car parking, and 680 slots for motorcycle parking.
The housing site not only provides decent, and affordable shelter but also improves the living conditions through amenities such as a village clubhouse, village market, and transport terminal to address the beneficiaries’ immediate needs. Angeles CIO
