GSIS, PNB provide P1.2B loans for housing project

State pension fund Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) and tycoon Lucio Tan’s Philippine National Bank (PNB) teamed up to establish a P1.2-billion note facility for 30-year-old builder P.A. Alvarez Properties and Development Corp. (P.A. Properties).

This will help P.A. Properties bankroll 20 new housing communities, significantly contributing to reducing the national housing backlog estimated at 6.5 million units.

GSIS will extend P900 million in support while PNB will provide P300 million to the note facility. 

The collaboration is a strategic move towards providing more Filipinos with access to affordable housing, aligning with the government's broader housing objectives.
