Applicants are still expected to complete and finalize their application and requirements before the turnover. “I’m so excited. At the age of 57, siling ko mahingagaw man ko avail sang program sang aton gobyerno which is kanami gid kaayo kay na overcome ang fear ko sang excitement nga at last, at the age of 57, makabalay naman ko sang akon kaugalingon. To have a roof over our head, to have a home that we can call our own is one of the ultimate dreams of an ordinary Filipino people,” remarked 4PH Program beneficiary Emmanuel Villaera. Additionally, the beneficiaries awarded units in buildings 1 and 2 will be the first to have their units turned over to them, while buildings 3 and 4 are still undergoing construction. Finally, the beneficiaries were taken on a tour after the orientation to see the housing units that they will soon call home. (Source: Bacolod City Public Information Office)
