Beneficiaries, Iloilo City officials, and project partners gathered on May 28, 2026, for the Concrete Pouring Ceremony of the Iloilo Residences and Uswag 4PH Condominium Complex projects led by the Iloilo City Government. The event took place at two project sites in Barangay Sambag and Barangay San Isidro, Jaro, Iloilo City.
Major Milestone for Local Housing
The ceremony marked a significant milestone for the city's local housing projects, turning years of planning into reality. The Iloilo Residences in Barangay Sambag and the Uswag 4PH Condominium Complex in Barangay San Isidro are envisioned as modern and inclusive housing developments for middle- to lower-income Ilonggos. These projects aim to provide not only shelter but also opportunities for residents to build better lives.
Construction Timeline
The Iloilo Residences project is expected to complete its first building within 11 months, while the Uswag 4PH Condominium Complex is scheduled to finish two buildings within 10 months. The projects were made possible through the support of Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) Secretary Ramon “Ping” P. Aliling.
“This project rises as proof that when the government works with compassion and purpose, people-centered projects become possible,” said Iloilo City Mayor Raisa Treñas. She emphasized that these housing projects were designed for Ilonggos who aspire to own a home but do not yet have the capacity to do so.
Collaborative Effort
The local housing projects are a collaboration between the Iloilo City Government, the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Program (4PH), Pag-Ibig Fund, DHSUD, EON Realty Development Corporation, and Thaison Builder and Developer Inc. The initiative is spearheaded by the Iloilo City Local Housing Office under lawyer Peter Jason J. Millare.
The ceremony served as a symbolic milestone of shared commitment and collaboration toward a better and more sustainable future for every Ilonggo.
