REAL estate industry leaders voiced hope that the country's housing backlog now affecting some 6.7 million poor families will receive higher priority under the administration of President-elect Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.

Congratulating President-elect Marcos on his overwhelming victory at the recent polls, the Chamber of Real Estate and Builders' Associations Inc. (Creba), led by its national chairman, Charlie Gorayeb, and national president, Noel Toti Cariño, said that the industry looks forward to housing concerns being included among the new administration's priority agenda.
