THE PHILIPPINE government should shorten the application process for housing development projects for ease of doing business, according to a stakeholder.
A home developer must go to 27 offices, get 78 permits, 146 signatures and produce 373 documents to start a subdivision housing project, Januario Jesus B. Atencio III, chairman and chief executive of Januarius Holdings, Inc., told a virtual briefing on Wednesday.
The property developer also cited the need for more skilled workers to stabilize labor supply. The government should likewise allow more foreign workers to offset the emigration of Filipino workers.“One thing we should try is to increase our level of technology in the housing industry, particularly in production,” he told the online forum. “We haven’t adopted enough technology. Assuming capital and labor are equal, all growth depends on the level of technology.
These plans could be used as a roadmap to analyze housing affordability and create shelter strategies, PIDS said, citing Rowena P. Dineros, a service director at the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development who was a panelist at a recent PIDS webinar.
