We need to work together to safeguard the rights of real property buyers, ensuring that the government remains proactive in curbing fraudulent activities and advancing safe, secure, and legitimate housing for every Filipino, emphasized Aliling.

Aligned with Presidential Directives

This initiative is also aligned with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive to ensure the protection of Filipinos aspiring to own safe, decent, and affordable housing. The DHSUD leadership sought NBI's help after confirming reports of groups or individuals posing as legitimate real estate agents to victimize prospective property clients.

A Whole-of-Government Approach

Expertise and Investigation

The NBI's expertise in investigation and law enforcement will be invaluable in bolstering DHSUD's ongoing efforts to curb fraudulent real estate activities. This strengthened government effort aims to protect the rights of real property buyers and ensure that those involved in fraudulent activities are brought to justice.

Conclusion
