1. Briefly discuss what is Executive Order no. 34 about.
Executive Order No. 34, issued by the President of the Philippines, declares the
"Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program" (National Housing for Filipinos Program) as a
flagship government initiative (Reganit, 2023). This order mandates all national government
agencies, government-owned or -controlled corporations, and local government units to compile
and submit a detailed inventory of available and suitable lands for the program's implementation.
The executive order emphasizes the government's commitment to addressing housing needs by
efficiently mobilizing resources and land. It aims to make affordable housing a priority, ensuring
that Filipinos have access to adequate housing options across the nation. This order reflects the
government's proactive approach to improving housing and promoting social development.
2. Identify its key objectives and goals and how does it aim to address them, taking into
account the PDP 2023-2028?
Executive Order No. 34 has several key objectives and goals, which align with the
Philippine Development Plan (PDP) for 2023-2028 (Crismundo, 2022). Its primary objectives
include promoting affordable housing, efficiently mobilizing resources, such as available land, for
housing development, and contributing to social development and economic growth by creating
jobs in the housing sector. It also aims to reduce informal settlements and improve the overall
living conditions of Filipinos. In the context of the PDP 2023-2028, this executive order
complements the broader national development strategy by addressing housing disparities and
poverty, ensuring that housing development is integrated into the plan's vision for inclusive growth
and sustainable development.
3. How does the Executive Order no. 34 impact the NGAs and the LGUs in the country, and
what measures are being taken to ensure the successful implementation of its mandates?
Executive Order No. 34 significantly affects both National Government Agencies (NGAs)
and Local Government Units (LGUs) in the Philippines. It places a substantial responsibility on
them to identify and provide information about available lands suitable for the "Pambansang
Pabahay Para sa Pilipino Program." (CES, 2022). This mandates a thorough inventory of lands,
which is a substantial administrative task for these government entities. To ensure successful
implementation, measures like rigorous data collection, interagency coordination, and compliance
monitoring are likely in place. These measures aim to guarantee that NGAs and LGUs fulfill their
obligations, adhering to specified timelines, and that the information provided is accurate.
Additionally, providing support and resources, along with reporting mechanisms to track progress,
will play crucial roles in ensuring the program's effectiveness and its alignment with the broader
development objectives in the Philippines.
