Construction of housing development proceeding as planned
The Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino (4PH) socialized housing project in Barangay Calawisan, Lapu-Lapu City, is making significant strides. Funded entirely by the City Government, the first phase of the project involves the construction of two five-story buildings, each with 100 units, totaling 462 housing units.
Construction of the project commenced on March 3, 2025, and the first building is currently under development. As of July 2025, the construction has reached the fifth floor, with work on the fifth floor of the first building currently underway.
The private contractor for the first phase of the project is Zumyrphil Construction Inc. The first building is expected to be ready for turnover by December 2025, while the second building is scheduled for completion around March 2026.
The socialized housing effort forms part of the National Government's Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino program. Priority for housing in the project will be given to residents who will be affected by upcoming government infrastructure projects.
The project was inspected by Mayor Ma. Cynthia "Cindi" King-Chan, Perla Amar, and James Sayson on July 22, 2025. The first phase of the P219-million project is currently under construction, and the project is set to expand to 1,000 to 1,500 units in the donated two-hectare property by Johndorf Ventures Corp. / DPC in the future.
The Local Housing Board will be tasked with determining the initial batch of beneficiaries for the housing project. The project is expected to be completed within 12 months from the start of construction, making it a significant step towards providing affordable housing for those in need.
The government is funding the construction of the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino project, which includes investing in real-estate by building residential housing units. The City Government is financing the first stage of the project, which comprises two five-story buildings with 100 units each, totalling 1,000 residential units in the future.
