The state-owned Development Bank of the Philippines has extended a ₱2-billion loan to PH1 World Landscapes, Inc. to finance the construction of 8,360 housing units under the government’s flagship shelter program.
The financing supports the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) program of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., which aims to expand access to affordable housing for Filipino families.
DBP President and CEO Michael de Jesus said the bridge financing will help accelerate the completion of housing projects in Caloocan City and in Imus and Bacoor in Cavite.
“This collaboration is seen to contribute to the fulfillment of the National Government’s goals of constructing affordable housing units that would unite families, strengthen communities, and generate livelihood opportunities for our countrymen,” de Jesus said.
He added that the project is expected to generate jobs for more than 1,000 workers during construction.
As of January 31, 2026, DBP has already approved ₱1.31 billion in assistance under its BAHAY-4PH Program, which supports local government units, developers, and contractors involved in the national housing initiative.
“DBP’s support for these projects is deeply aligned with its core development thrusts and it will continue to explore avenues to support the Marcos administration in its noble objective to make homeownership more accessible to low-income households,” de Jesus said.
The bank said its continued financing push is part of its broader mandate to support infrastructure and social development projects nationwide.
