The nationwide rollout of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program (4PH) got another boost with the promulgation of the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of Executive Order (EO) 34.

The IRR of EO 34 – the Order that declared 4PH as flagship program and called for the inventory of government idle lands appropriate for housing – was released on April 29, duly signed by Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Jose Rizalino Acuzar, Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Maria Antonia Loyzaga, Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr. and Land Registration Authority (LRA) Administrator Gerardo Sirios.

“Ngayon na nabigyan na natin ng detalye ang EO 34, kasama ang iba pang ahensya na responsable dito, mas makakasiguro na tayo sa tuluy-tuloy na takbo ng Pambansang Pabahay,” Secretary Acuzar said.

"Malaking bagay po ito para sa tagumpay ng Pambansang Pabahay at para sa ating mga kababayang patuloy na nangangarap na magkaroon sa sariling tahanan na disente at abot-kaya," he added.

Under the IRR, the roles and responsibilities of the above agencies were defined, with the DHSUD heading the requirement and collection of the detailed inventory of all available and suitable lands for housing and human settlements from national government agencies, government-owned and -controlled corporations, and local government units (LGU).
