KAPIHAN SA DHSUD: Aimed at raising public awareness on the government's housing policies and programs while at the same time boosting engagements with stakeholders, DHSUD rolled out "Kapihan sa DHSUD" on Wednesday led by Secretary Eduardo Del Rosario (third from right). Joining him at the event were Undersecretaries Marylin Pintor, Meynardo Sabili and Zyril Carlos, as well as Assistant Secretaries Leira Buan and Avelino Tolentino III.
The monthly forum, spearheaded by DHSUD's Public Assistance Service-Communications Development and Media Relations Division, was conceptualized upon the directive of Undersecretary Pintor on the back of growing clamor from DHSUD's partner-developers for an interactive forum with the department.
The talkshow's debut episode focused on the relevance of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan in local development, with DHSUD Environmental, Land Use and Urban Planning Development Bureau Director Atty. Nora Diaz being the guest speaker.
In line with DHSUD's health and safety protocols amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the forum, which will have ten episodes this year, uses a blended approach of both virtual and, to a limited capacity, physical attendance of participants.
Among the topics to be discussed in the upcoming episodes are the establishment of Housing One-Stop Processing Centers, election and delinquency issues of homeowners' association, as well as future projects for informal settler families.
"Kapihan" will highlight a mix of panelists and resource speakers featuring officials from DHSUD's bureaus and representatives from key shelter agencies, partner-developers and real estate practitioners, as well as experts from other government agencies, lawmakers and members of the media.
Episodes can be viewed live via Zoom and the Department's official Facebook page and YouTube channel (DHSUDgovph). (DHSUD)
