Housing Project in Pilar Faces Delays Despite NHA Financial Aid
What happened
The National Housing Authority provided financial assistance for a housing project in Pilar. However, state auditors reported that the P191.27-million Yolanda housing project was only 52 percent complete at the end of 2025, more than three years past its July 31, 2022 deadline. The Municipal Government expects the project to be completed by May 23, 2026.

Why it matters
Auditors attributed the delays to inadequate planning, supervision, and monitoring, noting that the continued delays deprive typhoon survivors of safe permanent shelter. The project, which was awarded to Jejors Construction Corp., has seen the Municipal Government pay the contractor P122.39 million as of December 31, 2025.
