00:23Julie's family has been living on the streets for almost four years.

00:27Because of the pandemic, they were not able to go out.

00:31That's why her eight children and three grandchildren stayed inside a cart.

00:37When it rains, we put a blanket in the morning and take it off at night.

00:42That's how we live.

00:44Of course, it's painful for the children.

00:47We don't have anything to eat,

00:52as long as the children are at home.

00:55Just like Julie, the target of the government is to continue its efforts

01:00to provide free housing under the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program or 4PH,

01:06which is what President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is focusing on.

01:10At a sectoral meeting in Malacanang, which was led by the President

01:13along with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development

01:16and other related agencies,

01:19the President urged them to implement and find a way

01:24to address the shelter gap in the country.

01:26He added that this will have a positive effect on the country's economy

01:30when it is implemented and completed.

01:32The DHS-UD also asked for a funding guarantee

01:36for the so-called Program to increase the trust of government financial institutions

01:40supported by 4PH.

01:43They also proposed a way to increase the participation of private sectors

01:47such as private banks and institutions.

01:50The agency also urged to certify the 4PH bill as urgent.

01:54Also, the budget allocation for the construction of facilities

01:58such as basketball courts and parks.

02:01The President also recognized the requests of the DHS-UD

02:04and urged them to pay attention to continue the so-called Program.

02:09The agencies of the government should also help

02:13to determine the exact number of housing units

02:16based on the history of the housing industry in the country.

02:20The President also insisted on maintaining the quality of the housing units

02:24and gave the correct price of the materials

02:27for the transparency of the underlying fund for this.

02:30The target of 4PH is to launch 6 million housing units

02:34at the last term of President Marcos Jr.
