The President also told that more Filipinos are gaining access to affordable housing assistance under the Expanded Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Housing (4PH) Program, which allows low-income earners to avail housing loans with interest rates as low as three percent per annum, while overseas Filipino workers may also benefit from the low interest rate, through the Pag-IBIG Fund.

He added, “Nawa’y lalo pa nating patatagin ang ating paglilingkod upang mas marami pa tayong mga kababayang Pilipino na matutulungan.”
