President Rodrigo Duterte has built over a million houses since the start of his administration making housing king of all Philippine presidents since 1975, according to the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD).

DHSUD Secretary Eduardo del Rosario said Duterte has built an average of 195,687 low-cost housing units a year since 2016 which is 12 percent more than the 174,000 annual production during the term of the late Noynoy Aquino.

Del Rosario said the Duterte administration has built and bankrolled a total of 1.076 million housing units from June 2016 to June 2021 with 98 percent for socialized housing (P580,000 ceiling) and two percent for low-cost buyers (P1.7 million ceiling).

He said the administration was on track of hitting its target of 1.2 million housing units by June 2022.

“I would like to emphasize that during this administration, wala po tayong maririnig na substandard housing project because we committed ourselves, the whole housing sector, to ensure that there will be no substandard housing during our administration,” said del Rosario in a Malacanang briefing.
