San Juan City breaks ground for 30-story, 1,029-unit 4PH in Brgy Batis
San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora, together with Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jerry Acuzar, Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) president Federico A. Laxa, Rep. Bel Zamora, and Vice Mayor Angelo Agcaoili, led the groundbreaking ceremony for the 30-story, 1,029-unit Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Housing Project on March 18, 2025, in F. Manalo Street, Barangay Batis, San Juan City.
During the ceremony, Secretary Acuzar lauded Mayor Zamora’s relentless determination in ensuring that the 4PH program would be implemented in San Juan City. He shared how the mayor persistently followed up on the project, sending him frequent messages to push for the housing initiative.
“Mayor Francis Zamora, OK lang po yung makulit talagang ganyan ang masipag na Mayor,” Secretary Acuzar stated.
The housing project is part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s 4PH program, which aims to address the country’s housing backlog by providing affordable and decent homes to Filipino families. San Juan City is among the first LGUs to implement this initiative, demonstrating the city’s proactive approach to urban development.
Mayor Zamora emphasized that the project is a major step in making homeownership accessible to San Juaneños.
“Ang ginagawa po natin ay binibigyan natin ng pagkakataon ang bawat pamilyang San Juaneño na magkaroon ng sarili, disente at marangal na tahanan. Itong huling termino natin, ang focus natin ay public housing,” Mayor Zamora said.
Also present at the event were Atty. Norman Jacinto P. Doral, Regional Director of DHSUD-NCR; Lawyer Junefe G. Payot, Executive Vice President of SHFC; Philip Robert C. Flores, Vice President for Resettlement Services Group; and Assistant Secretary Melissa A. Aradanas, EnP, CESO II, who serves as the Project Lead for the San Juan 4PH Project. Their participation highlighted the strong collaboration between the national government, local government, and housing agencies in addressing the country’s housing challenges.
With the groundbreaking ceremony now completed, construction of the 30-story housing project is set to begin, marking a new chapter in San Juan City’s commitment to urban development and social welfare.
