- The two government agencies signed a memorandum of agreement to explore housing and other development opportunities on approximately 14 hectares of land in New Clark City, as part of the government's Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (Expand 4PH) program.

The two government agencies signed a memorandum of agreement to explore housing and other development opportunities on approximately 14 hectares of land in New Clark City, as part of the government's Expanded Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino (Expand 4PH) program.
The proposed development aims to create a walk-to-work township where employees can live within walking distance of their workplaces, potentially reducing daily travel time and transportation expenses.
Proposed township to combine homes and everyday amenities
The planned development would integrate residential areas with commercial establishments, recreational spaces, and other facilities to make everyday needs more accessible to residents and their families.
The agencies also intend to take advantage of New Clark City's natural landscape to provide a greener living environment.
However, the project remains at the exploration stage. The agreement covers potential development opportunities, and details such as the number of housing units, prices, eligibility requirements, and construction timeline have yet to be specified in the announcement.
Other potential housing sites identified
Aside from New Clark City, Pag-IBIG Fund and BCDA have identified three other locations for possible future housing projects. These are Camp John Hay, Morong Discovery Park, and Poro Point Freeport Zone.
The partnership supports the government's efforts to expand access to quality and affordable homes through the Expand 4PH program.
For workers considering homeownership, developments that place housing near employment centers could offer an alternative to living farther away and spending more time and money commuting. The actual affordability and accessibility of the proposed homes will depend on the project's eventual pricing, financing options, and eligibility rules.
The partnership comes as Pag-IBIG Fund and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development prepare for the second National Housing Expo 2026.
The expo aims to bring homeownership services together in one venue, offering housing options, exclusive deals from partner developers, and assistance from Pag-IBIG Fund.
