DEPARTMENT of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jose Ramon Aliling announced Thursday a collaboration with Japanese firms in building housing projects under the expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH) program.
Aliling said that Kizuna Communities, composed of Japanese developers, was picked to ensure zero corruption in the flagship housing program of the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
The announcement comes following a meeting with the Japanese group earlier this week at DHSUD’s central office in Quezon City.
Kizuna Communities vowed efficiency and transparency as they undertake the construction of two socialized housing projects.
The head of the 4PH program, Undersecretary Eduardo Robles Jr., pledged to assist the Japanese in the endeavor.
“As long as the Expanded 4PH Program is corruption-free, more investors will participate. The high credibility of DHSUD should always be maintained to make the national housing program sustainable,” Aliling said.
