Proposed 2027 funding for Expanded 4PH housing subsidies jumps from P35 million in 2026 GAA
For more than 125,000 Filipinos dreaming of owning a home, the proposed 2027 National Budget is putting P1.12 billion behind that dream—helping bring down the cost of housing and make homeownership more attainable for Filipino families.
The Marcos Administration is proposing P1.12 billion for the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program in 2027, with P1.085 billion earmarked directly for interest and non-interest subsidies benefiting 125,667 Filipinos. The remaining P33.0 million will support the program’s administrative requirements.
The proposed funding represents a major increase from the P35 million provided under the FY 2026 General Appropriations Act (GAA) and is 60 percent higher than the P700 million originally proposed under the FY 2026 National Expenditure Program (NEP).
Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Acting Secretary Kim Robert C. De Leon said the investment reflects a broader approach to social protection—one that does not stop at providing immediate assistance but helps Filipino families build long-term security.
“Beyond providing immediate assistance, this budget also invests in the long-term well-being of Filipino families by ensuring access to safe and secure housing,” Secretary Kim De Leon said during the presentation of the proposed FY 2027 National Expenditure Program.
He added that the proposed budget continues to advance the 4PH Program, “with Php 1.12 billion allocation, to provide more than 125,000 beneficiaries with access to safe, decent, and affordable housing.”
The increased allocation supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s push to make homeownership more attainable by expanding affordable housing options and improving access to financing.
In his 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA), President Marcos reported that more than 500,000 homes had already been built and financed under the government’s housing programs, including more than 100,000 added within just one year through the Expanded 4PH Program.
The President also stressed that addressing the country’s housing needs requires the combined efforts of government housing agencies, local government units, and the private sector.
“Nariyan ang DHSUD at mga ahensyang kasapi sa sistema ng pabahay upang matupad ang pinapangarap na tahanan ng Pilipino. Katuwang ang pribadong sektor at lokal na pamahalaan, puspusan nating pinupuno ang kakulangan sa pabahay sa buong bansa,” President Marcos said.
The Chief Executive likewise underscored the importance of affordable financing, noting that a sound lending system is key to bringing monthly housing costs within reach of more Filipino families.
Under Executive Order No. 34 dated July 17, 2023, the 4PH Program was declared a flagship program of the Marcos Administration to accelerate the provision of adequate and affordable housing nationwide.
The program was subsequently expanded to adopt a more beneficiary-centered approach to housing development and financing, widening the options available to Filipino families and supporting the development of safe, dignified, and sustainable communities.
Under the Expanded 4PH Program, qualified beneficiaries across different housing modalities may receive interest subsidies. These include vertical and horizontal housing developments, high-density housing projects, and Real and Other Properties Acquired (ROPA) financed under Pag-IBIG Fund Circular No. 473.

PBBM GOV’T PINALAKAS ANG SUPORTA SA PABAHAY: P1.12-B INILAAN PARA GAWING MAS ABOT-KAYA ANG SARILING BAHAY PARA SA MAHIGIT 125,000 PILIPINO
Proposed 2027 funding para sa Expanded 4PH housing subsidies, tumaas mula P35 milyon sa 2026 GAA
Para sa mahigit 125,000 Pilipinong nangangarap magkaroon ng sariling bahay, P1.12 billion ang inilaan sa proposed 2027 National Budget upang makatulong na mapababa ang gastos sa pabahay at gawing mas abot-kaya ang pagkakaroon ng sariling tahanan para sa mga pamilyang Pilipino.
Ipinanukala ng Marcos Administration ang P1.12 billion para sa Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH) Program sa 2027, kung saan P1.085 billion ang direktang ilalaan para sa interest at non-interest subsidies na mapapakinabangan ng 125,667 Pilipino. Ang natitirang P33.0 million naman ay para sa administrative requirements ng programa.
Malaki ang itinaas ng proposed funding mula sa P35 million na inilaan sa ilalim ng FY 2026 General Appropriations Act (GAA). Mas mataas din ito ng 60 percent kumpara sa P700 million na orihinal na iminungkahi sa ilalim ng FY 2026 National Expenditure Program (NEP).
Ayon kay Department of Budget and Management (DBM) Acting Secretary Kim Robert C. De Leon, bahagi ang investment na ito ng mas malawak na approach sa social protection—hindi lamang para tugunan ang agarang pangangailangan ng mga Pilipino, kundi upang tulungan din ang mga pamilya na magkaroon ng mas matatag at pangmatagalang seguridad.
“Beyond providing immediate assistance, this budget also invests in the long-term well-being of Filipino families by ensuring access to safe and secure housing,” pahayag ni Acting Secretary Kim De Leon habang ipinepresenta ang FY 2027 National Expenditure Program.
Dagdag pa niya, patuloy na isinusulong ng proposed budget ang 4PH Program, “with Php 1.12 billion allocation, to provide more than 125,000 beneficiaries with access to safe, decent, and affordable housing.”
Sinusuportahan ng mas mataas na alokasyon ang layunin ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. na gawing mas abot-kaya ang pagkakaroon ng sariling bahay sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalawak ng affordable housing options at pagbibigay ng access sa financing.
Sa kanyang 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA), iniulat ni Pangulong Marcos na mahigit 500,000 bahay na ang naitayo at napondohan sa ilalim ng mga housing program ng gobyerno, kabilang ang mahigit 100,000 bahay na naidagdag sa loob lamang ng isang taon sa ilalim ng Expanded 4PH Program.
Binigyang-diin din ng Pangulo na kailangan ang pagtutulungan ng government housing agencies, local government units,at private sector upang matugunan ang pangangailangan sa pabahay sa bansa.
“Nariyan ang DHSUD at mga ahensyang kasapi sa sistema ng pabahay upang matupad ang pinapangarap na tahanan ng Pilipino. Katuwang ang pribadong sektor at lokal na pamahalaan, puspusan nating pinupuno ang kakulangan sa pabahay sa buong bansa,” pahayag ni Pangulong Marcos Jr.
Binigyang-diin din ng Pangulo ang kahalagahan ng affordable financing, at sinabing mahalaga ang maayos na lending system upang maging mas abot-kaya para sa mas maraming pamilyang Pilipino ang buwanang gastos sa pabahay.
Sa ilalim ng Executive Order No. 34 na nilagdaan noong ika-17 ng Hulyo 2023, idineklara ang 4PH Program bilang flagship program ng Marcos Administration upang mapabilis ang pagbibigay ng sapat at abot-kayang pabahay sa buong bansa.
Pinalawak kalaunan ang programa upang maging mas beneficiary-centered ang approach sa housing development at financing, maparami ang housing options para sa mga pamilyang Pilipino, at masuportahan ang pagbuo ng ligtas, marangal, at sustainable communities.
Sa ilalim ng Expanded 4PH Program, maaaring makatanggap ng interest subsidies ang qualified beneficiaries mula sa iba’t ibang housing modalities. Kabilang dito ang vertical at horizontal housing developments, high-density housing projects, at Real and Other Properties Acquired (ROPA) na financed sa ilalim ng Pag-IBIG Fund Circular No. 473.
