On January 25, the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC) Region 9 North Operation, in partnership with the Zamboanga del Norte Homeowners Association Federation, organized a fun run in Dipolog City with the theme “Dagan para Balay.”

More than 500 partner-homeowners, including their children, participated in the activity — a first of its kind for the agency. The event was part of the celebrations for SHFC’s 16th founding anniversary.

The fun run, which was offered in 5K and 10K categories, was aimed at strengthening the sense of community among the members and at rallying them around the idea that every individual has a right to adequate housing. The Community Mortgage Program (CMP), SHFC’s flagship initiative, helps uphold that right through affordable and holistic housing solutions.

In his inspirational message, SHFC Executive Vice President Atty. Junefe Payot, encouraged those who have not yet completed their loan applications to keep pursuing their dreams of owning a house. “Whatever your pace, as long as you do not stop, you will eventually reach the finish line like you just did this morning,” he said. Payot also congratulated the participants for their strong commitment to their future and those of their children as shown by their readiness to wake up at four in the morning to join the fun run.

SHFC is the lead agency assisting underprivileged communities to secure land tenure through shelter financing and development solutions by Building Adequate, Livable, Affordable, and Inclusive (Balai) Filipino communities. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/shfcph.
