The housing crisis kept ballooning over the years. Given that economic progress has been mainly concentrated on the Philippines' urban cities such as Metro Manila and Metro Cebu, a continuous uptick in migration of rural dwellers from the provinces to the cities has been taking place -- armed with the belief that their lives will transform due to the opportunities they will get.

By 2022, the country’s housing needs would amount to a staggering 15.08 million people and worsen each year if we do not start paying more attention to the housing crisis.
