VICE-President Jejomar Binay on Thursday said he has accepted the offer of President Benigno Aquino III to take charge of the housing sector as chair of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC).
In a statement, Binay said he has always maintained his readiness to assist Aquino in attaining his vision for the Philippines and the Filipino people.
“I look forward to implementing the president’s objectives for housing and shelter and working with volunteer organizations like the Gawad Kalinga, with whom I share a common dream of building not just homes but sustainable communities for our people,” he said in the statement.
The HUDCC position is one of 5 government posts originally offered to Binay.
