Less than five weeks after a school shooting claimed three young lives at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City, the Philippine government translated its condolences into concrete form — handing three bereaved families the keys to homes they will own without debt or obligation. Under a directive from President Marcos Jr., the National Housing Authority moved with uncommon swiftness to offer not just shelter, but a foothold for families navigating grief. It is a small gesture measured in square meters, yet it carries the weight of a society attempting to honor what it cannot undo.
