Cheap housing is a big problem, goverment should subsidize building more tenament housing. Even in Hong Kong, housing is becoming a problem. Unfortunately, tenements built during Ramos were declared already condemned, because of substandard construction due to CORRUPTION.
Re: Pabahay schemes .. most of the real beneficiaries of those programs have either sold their units or rented them out, then returned to squatting. Or went somewhere else. Real world scenario there. No stereotyping.

Expect more people from the provinces coming here to Manila for a slice of the "good-life". I was once a hillbilly farm boy until I decided to strike it out here in the big city, by God's grace and sheer "banat ng buto" determination, my wife and I got to where we are now.
Expect more and more idle rural lands being sold or given up by families who no longer need them since the children are settled in the big cities .......... That's where we come in ..![]()
