00:00The government's target is to give a house to the millions of families who don't have their own homes.
00:06Where is the government in this mess? Let's find out in the story of Benji Durango.
00:14It was just a little rain. It really flooded us right away.
00:21We were evacuated to a school.
00:24One time, we were in a place where someone died.
00:29The child drowned.
00:31These stories are slowly being buried in the memory of Ms. Aileen.
00:35Her family used to live on the other side of the river in Teneros, Malabon.
00:39Whenever it rained heavily, the flood would come from the place where she was born.
00:44The fear that she brought with her almost her entire life,
00:47was relieved after receiving a gift that she did not expect.
00:53President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. himself brought to the 1,830 families
00:58of the Abotkayang Condominium Housing Unit in St. Gregory Homes in Panghulu, Malabon.
01:04It is very close to my heart to ensure that human settlements and housing units will be successful.
01:13We will never be able to get a house like this.
01:21They avoided floods. The place was secured.
01:25They were assured that the construction of the buildings was good.
01:30They were assured of peace and order.
01:33There are many more like this that are being built across the country.
01:36Now, in 2024, the NHA's target is to build an additional 1,881 housing units
01:43in 10 housing projects across the country.
01:48This includes Valenzuela, which has 6 houses for 3 people.
01:53It also includes the Abotkayang Condominium Housing Unit.
01:58This includes Valenzuela, which has 6 houses for 300 families
02:04and was moved from Manila Bay to be given to the government.
02:08Each room is suitable for one family.
02:1124 square meters.
02:13There is a bathroom, a service area, a loft-type mezzanine,
02:20and a complete dining area.
02:25The National Housing Authority is leading the government's ambitious dream.
02:30First of all, the ASFs who do not have their own homes,
02:34those who live in dangerous areas, in creeks, rivers, under transmission lines,
02:41those affected by the DOTR project, DPWH, like South Long Haul,
02:46our bypasses, those are our priorities.
02:49And those in Manila Bay, Mandamus.
02:55According to the study of Pag-ibig in 2023,
02:586.5 million families are in need of safe housing.
03:02The NHA and DHSUD's answer to this is to build more houses every year.
03:07First of all, they are the ones we have seen who are on the margins of society.
03:12Second, they are in a dangerous place where houses are needed
03:18and we need to protect them from the government.
03:22Every typhoon, every calamity, they are the first to have a problem
03:26and the government has a problem with them.
03:28Aside from housing, another problem is livelihood.
03:33We have livelihood, we have job placement,
03:37we have financial literacy seminars, programs,
03:41we have cooperative enhancement, everything is done by the NHA.
03:47In this way, two problems have been solved by the government.
03:51The first is to provide affordable housing to our countrymen
03:55and to save them from poverty.
04:04All of this is because of the study of the bad past.
04:08Gun are the days, especially you in the media,
04:10you don't see those who are still fighting, right?
04:14Those who are pulling, the so-called forced evacuation,
04:18the police and the soldiers are there,
04:21you are being forced to ride their vehicles.
04:25According to the Office of Civil Defense,
04:27Filipinos are now more free to face any problem.
04:31This is the result of the assistance of the local government
04:34and the national government agencies.
04:36I think, and with constant dialogue, constant capacitation,
04:41I think there is a big improvement when it comes to the behavior
04:46and the action that we want to get from our public.
04:55In the last session of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.,
04:58he ordered to use all the technologies
05:01for the proper monitoring of the affected communities.
05:04The DOST Pag-asa, Phibox and the Mines and Geosciences Bureau of the DENR
05:10In this way, the government's decision will also be science-based whenever there is a problem.
05:16The country's study of the Yolanda earthquake
05:18and the current administration's focus on any natural disaster
05:23became the way to successful projects.
05:26The good thing about the President, he expects a lot from us,
05:30but he trusts his team.
05:32That is what inspires us.
05:36The DSWD, a part of the NDRIM-C as the Vice-Chair of Response,
05:40has a mandate that all citizens should have something to eat
05:44before a calamity happens.
05:47For the Real-Time Dromic Report,
05:49the DSWD started to make their monitoring system digital.
05:53Faster information, faster and safe assistance will come to the people.
05:58This is the power of choice.
06:00And in their new system,
06:03faster and easier public services will be expected through digital transactions.
06:09So that choice means that the beneficiary,
06:13wherever he wants to go, he can get help and services.
06:19If he wants to go to the office, he can.
06:22If he wants to stay at home, he can also.
06:24He should.
06:30All of this because of the government's desire
06:33to make our countrymen suffer for a long time.
06:36The 10-year project of the government,
06:39the Yolanda Permanent Housing Project,
06:41will finally be completed.
06:44In total, 200,000 houses are missing
06:47for the victims of Yolanda in the Central, Western, and Eastern Visayas Region.
06:51Only 13% of the houses are missing.
06:55We're almost done.
06:57We only owe 20,000 pesos.
07:00So, we can do this.
07:04In an administration with a clear direction,
07:07He's always there. He gives us clear instructions.
07:12and an administration that cares.
07:15Choice on how to ask for help
07:18and choice on how to receive help.
07:22He can still do this.
07:23Thank you very much.
07:26Whatever the dream that he wants to achieve,
07:29Definitely, we can achieve the target in the new Philippines.
