MALAYBALAY CITY (Feb. 10) – Officials have signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for P50 million Daraghuyan Tribal Village to be constructed inside Daraghuyan Tribe Ancestral Domain area in Brgy. Dalwangan.

The signing ceremony for the 80 housing units was held at Loiza’s Pavilion, Brgy. Casisang in the city on Feb. 10.

Mayor Flores expressed his gratitude to NHA for assisting the housing plan and pledged the project’s full support.

The plan reached the Sangguniang Panlungsod in 2016 during the administration of Former Mayor Ignacio W. Zubiri but realized in the current term of Mayor Flores.

On the other hand, Abbellera clarified that in 2016 the allocation was only P10 million, but it was doubled this time.

“Housing project for Indigenous People (IPs) is one of the priorities of President Rodrigo Duterte. The P20 million grants will be downloaded to the Local Government Unit of Malaybalay as the implementing agency of the project,” Abbellera said.
