1.2.1 HOUSING
SOLUTION FOR
THE PHILIPPINES
The homeless population in the Philippines is a
staggering 4.5 million, representing about 4%
of the population. This number is expected to
rise to 12 million by 2030 if no action takes
place to address the issue. Manila, the capital
of the Philippines, is where a significant
portion of homeless Filipinos reside.
Bamboo Houses
Earth Tech, an innovative
development agency focused
on sustainability, recognizes
the Philippines’ housing
problem as a crisis. The
engineered bamboo lasts up
to 50 years and absorbs
carbon rather than produces
it. This makes bamboo a
durable and environmentally
friendly material.
Solar Paneled Homes
1. The Philippines has one
of the highest household
electricity rates in
Southeast Asia, often
creating a financial
burden for low-income
houses. Imperial Homes
Corporation (IFC) has
been tackling this
problem through the
development of “energy-
efficient communities”
like Via Verde Homes.
Resistant Housing
1. The Philippines Archipelago
experiences an average of 22
typhoons a year. Normally, five to
nine of those typhoons cause
serious damage. Typhoon Sisang
in 1987 demolished more than
200,000 homes, after which the
Department of Social Welfare and
Development initiated the Core
Shelter Housing Project. The
Project teaches the Filipino
community how to construct their
own weather-resistant homes.
 Housing that is sustainable, resistant to
natural disasters and affordable to purchase
Moving and maintain will ensure the basic right to
shelter for many Filipinos.
Forward
Habitat Philippines is
advocating the Presidential
Advocacy and Proclamations to implement
tenure policies for informal
Sustainability settlers who reside in illegal,
unused housing, making
them vulnerable to losing
shelter.

Long-Lasting and The Philippines Housing and Urban

Coordinating Council, a governmental
Inclusive Urban organization, released a statement
addressing the growing homeless
Development population in Manila and other cities in
the Philippines.
