PRESIDENTIAL Assistant for Eastern Mindanao Secretary Leo Tereso A. Magno has initiated engagements with local government units (LGUs) in Central Mindanao for inclusion in President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s “Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program” or “4PH.”
A flagship program of the President, the 4PH was launched last September with the aim of providing affordable housing to homeless Filipinos. The target is to build a million housing units annually for a total of 6.5 million houses for the homeless by 2028.
Mr. Magno solicited local government unit (LGU) support for the project by meeting with local officials, among them Davao City Mayor Sebastian Z. Duterte and General Santos City Mayor Lorelie G. Pacquiao.
As concurrent Cabinet Officer for Regional Development and Security (CORDS) for Region 11, Mr. Magno also met with security officers to further intensify the government’s fight against terrorism and insurgency. He vowed to raise the region’s concerns with the Office of the President, the Cabinet, other departments, and other concerned government agencies. — Maya M. Padillo
