The housing crisis in the Philippines is rooted in the fact that most people cannot afford to buy proper houses or the land needed. To address this, President Bongbong Marcos’ flagship program, the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH), aims to reduce the 6.5 million housing backlog. This will be done by building 1 million units a year. The issue with this, however, is that it is anti-poor, despite being supposedly for the impoverished, and unrealistic given the foundations of the plan.
