In Trece Martires, Cavite, abandoned government housing units stand as a stark reminder of the Philippines' ongoing housing crisis. This short documentary uncovers the struggles of families displaced by demolitions, only to be offered poorly built relocation homes with substandard features. With over 4.5 million homeless Filipinos and 1.5 million informal settler families nationwide, the housing problem is a growing challenge. The government aims to end illegal settlements by 2028 through programs like the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (4PH), but can they deliver on this promise?
Join us as we explore the realities of the housing crisis, the impact on affected families, and whether the government's ambitious goal is achievable. Don’t forget to like, share, and comment your thoughts below!
