PHILSSA A non-stock service network of social development non-government NGOs working on urbanization concerns towards partnerships for sustainable communities.

The Partnership of Philippine Support Service Agencies (PHILSSA), established on 31 May 1988, was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 14 February 1990 as a non-stock service network of social development non-government organizations based in urban centers nationwide. Upon its formation, PHILSSA embarked on a mission of prototyping innovative paradigms of sustainable development for the effective empowerment of urban sectors, namely, the slumdwellers, the formal and informal labor force, the youth, women, children, and the development workers themselves. As of 2012, the PHILSSA network already comprised 55 partner-NGOs engaged in varied fields of development service, such as education and training, research and documentation, legal service, socio-economic and other technical support, issue and policy advocacy, and other innovative endeavors.

In his fifth State of the Nation Address ( ), President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called for the passing of the proposed Sariling Kuryente Act, echoing the sentiment of majority of Filipinos that scaling can be a practical, affordable, and resilient energy solution that gives consumers greater control over their electricity costs.

Despite strong public support for wider rooftop solar and adoption, financial and policy barriersโ€”such as the 12% VAT imposed on installations, limited financing options, complicated permitting and interconnection procedures, and limited consumer protection, among othersโ€”prevent many households and businesses from investing in rooftop solar systems.

The campaign urges Congress to deliberate on the Sariling Kuryente Act to translate the Presidentโ€™s vision into meaningful consumer action. Expanded access to rooftop solar is not only an investment in โ€”but an investment in lower electricity costs, stronger , and a more secure energy future for all.

"There is no denying that President Marcos Jr must deliver strong results over the next two years, particularly given his lagging trust and satisfaction ratings. Prioritizing housing for the urban poor gives him a clear opportunity to establish a lasting policy legacy. The true measure of the administrationโ€™s housing policy will not be the number of housing units built, or the number of land titles awarded to buyers, but whether the poorest urban families can live with dignity in the communities they call home."

July 24, 2026. Quality housing is more than having a secure place to live, it also means ensuring access to basic services that allow urban poor families to live with dignity, including clean, reliable, and affordable energy.

In Barangay 649, Baseco, Manila, the unveiling of a community mural at Dubai Housing in Block Dubai and the signing of the Quadripartite Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the Community-Owned Renewable Energy Project marked an important milestone toward advancing energy and housing justice. Painted over three days through the participation of Baseco residents, including youth and children, the mural reflects the communityโ€™s aspiration for a future where renewable energy is accessible, affordable, and community-owned.

The wall where the mural was unveiled is part of Dubai Housing, an onsite socialized housing initiative advocated by Kabalikat sa Kaunlaran ng Baseco, Inc., for 128 fire-affected families a decade ago. The initiative highlights that socialized housing must go beyond providing shelter by ensuring access to sustainable services that improve the quality of life of communities. As electricity costs continue to rise, the solarization of socialized housing through accessible rooftop solar systems must also be considered to help urban poor communities reduce energy burdens while promoting cleaner and more affordable power. The government must recognize renewable energy integration in socialized housing programs as part of building resilient and sustainable communities.

The MOA among UPA, Kabalikat sa Kaunlaran ng Baseco, Inc., 350 Pilipinas, and the PUP Institute of Technology Research and Extension (PUP iTech) strengthens the commitment to advancing community-owned renewable energy solutions. The event was also supported by the Partnership of Philippine Support Service Agencies (PHILSSA) and the Barangay 649 Council led by Chairperson Diana Espinosa.

This initiative also affirms that the energy transition must be a just transition, one that provides clean energy without displacing people, threatening homes, or harming the environment. Housing justice and energy justice must move together, ensuring that communities remain at the center of solutions that shape their future.

The future of our cities is not defined by skylines or infrastructure alone, it is shaped by the people who dare to imagine, organize, and build a more just, inclusive, and resilient tomorrow.

In the final learning session of the 36th PHILSSA General Assembly, Dr. Anna Marie Karaos, Program Consultant of the John J. Carroll Institute on Church and Social Issues (ICSI) and PHILSSA Board Member, challenged participants to look beyond sustainable urbanization and envision transformative cities grounded in equity, solidarity, and people's leadership.

PHILSSA member networks synthesized the day's key learnings and reflected on how these can be translated into collective action. Dr. Karaos encouraged everyone to leave with something to bring home, not just new insights, but a renewed commitment to help build more just, inclusive, and people-centered cities.

Our 36th PHILSSA General Assembly reminded us that transformative change begins with people and is sustained through collective action. We are pleased to introduce to you the the PHILSSA Clusters in NCR, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao: united by a shared vision of inclusive, resilient, and people-centered urban futures. Together, we build transformative cities.

PHILSSA brought together voices from government, academia, and people's organizations to explore how inclusive urban systems can be co-created through responsive housing policies, people-centered governance, and community-led advocacy.

Moderated by Ar. Sarah Redoblado, Executive Director of ALTERPLAN, the session featured insightful perspectives from:

โ€ข EnP. Laarni Magayanes, Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development โ€“ Environmental, Land Use and Urban Planning and Development Bureau (DHSUD-ELUPDB)
โ€ข Dr. Melissa Quetulio-Navarra, Assistant Professor, Sociology & Anthropology Department, Ateneo de Manila University
โ€ข Ms. Filomena "Ka Mena" Cinco, President, Nagkakaisang Mamamayan ng Legarda and Member, KOSMAT
โ€ข Ms. Madeline Suarez, President, Ugnayang Lakas ng mga Apektadong Pamilya (ULAP) Confederation

The conversation highlighted that inclusive urban systems are not created through policy alone, they emerge when institutions listen, communities organize, and diverse sectors work together toward a common vision. As our cities continue to grow and evolve, so must the way we govern them. Co-creating inclusive systems means recognizing communities not merely as beneficiaries, but as equal partners in shaping the future of urban development.

๐Ÿ“† 21 araw na lang bago ang State of the Nation Address (SONA) ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos Jr. Ano ang tunay na kalagayan ng bansa?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Naging sentro ng ikaapat na taon ni Pangulong Ferdinand โ€œBongbongโ€ Marcos Jr (o PBBM) ang mga kontrobersya sa korapsyon sa mga flood control projects ng gobyerno. Bukod dito, naging malaking hamon din sa administrasyon ang pagputok ng giyera sa Middle East na nagdulot ng pagtaas ng presyo ng langis at mga bilihin. Kasabay din nito ang gulo sa ibaโ€™t ibang sangay ng pamahalaan dulot ng agawan sa kapangyarihan at pag-iwas sa pananagutan.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธSa gitna ng mga krisis na ito, madalas na malihis ang atensyon ng mga pinuno at ng publiko mula sa iba pang mahahalagang isyung panlipunan. Sa pamamagitan ng edisyong ito ng Lights & Shadows (L&S), pagtutuunan natin ng pansin ang mga hinaing at hamon ng mga batayang sektorโ€”ang mga mag-aaral, maralitang manggagawa sa lungsod, mangingisda, magsasaka, at katutuboโ€”sa ikaapat na taon ng administrasyong Marcos.

Community leaders, advocates, and civil society practitioners explored how Just Energy Transition (JET) can be inclusive, equitable, and centered on the needs and aspirations of communities.

Moderated by Ar. Arlene Lusterio, Executive Director of TAO-PILIPINAS, the session began with a Community Snapshot featuring the experiences of partner communities on Just Energy Transition and energy security, shared by Razel Laxamana, Community Development Officer of the Foundation for the Development of the Urban Poor, and Mr. Brian Teodosio, Community Organizers Multiversity - CO Multiversity.

The conversation continued with a panel discussion on Just Energy Transition, featuring:

โ€ข Mr. Fread De Mesa, National Coordinator, 350 Pilipinas
โ€ข Mr. Francis Dela Cruz, Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities

The session underscored that democratizing energy means more than expanding accessโ€”it means empowering communities to participate in decision-making, strengthening local leadership, and ensuring that the shift to renewable energy is just, affordable, and community-driven.

Through collaboration among communities, civil society, local governments, and other stakeholders, we move closer to an energy future where no one is left behind.
