IPs among the 600 resettlement project beneficiaries in Tagum

Some 352 indigenous people received their notice of award from the National Housing Authority (NHA) through the City Housing and Land Management Office this October.

The Tagum City Information Office said that these IPs are occupants of the Masandag Tribal Village which is currently being developed by the city government of Tagum.

This project is a 16-yearlong dream of the members of the cultural communities who are living in Tagum and are considered the original settlers of the city. In order to materialize the said project, 80 million pesos was allocated by NHA while the LGU provided 5 hectares of land in barangay Canocotan.

According to Mayor Rellon, each household would only pay 300 pesos monthly for 5 years to get their certificate of land title. He said 248 Tagumenyos who are recipients of notice of awards and transfer certificate of titles also received these documents earlier, making up the 600 beneficiaries just this month alone. He also added that although we are at the last quarter of the month, Tagumenyos can expect that the resettlement program would bring forth more beneficiaries in the future.
