Naga City municipal employees are set to benefit from a subsidized housing program in partnership with Ayala Land, according to local officials. The initiative aims to provide affordable housing options for city workers, addressing the growing need for accessible homes in the region.
The program was announced following a memorandum of agreement between the city government and Ayala Land, a major Philippine property developer. Under the agreement, eligible employees will receive subsidies to purchase homes in Ayala Land developments, making homeownership more attainable for public servants.
Mayor Nelson Legacion expressed optimism about the partnership, stating that it reflects the city's commitment to improving the welfare of its employees. The specific details of the subsidy amounts and the number of housing units allocated have not been fully disclosed, but the program is expected to roll out in the coming months.
This initiative is part of broader efforts by Naga City to enhance employee benefits and retain skilled workers in local government. Ayala Land has previously engaged in similar socialized housing projects across the Philippines, underscoring its role in addressing housing gaps.
