Resettlement
certificates given

The distribution of certificates to 11 barangay families who have agreed to transfer to the Minoyan resettlement site by December 2011 was led by Mayor Andrew Montelibano of Murcia and Sangguniang Panlalawigan Member Patrick Leonard Lacson yesterday, a press release from Murcia said.

The resettlement site that is a program of the provincial government under Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. will give affected residents security instead of occupying an area they do not own.

Montelibano lauded Marañon for addressing the concerns of informal settlers, and Lacson echoed the need to ensure support to the families.

Also at the awarding rites were Barangay Captain James Bernalde, Maricon Lonzaga of the Government Assets Management-GSO, and Cristina Mayoga, GAM-GSO, the press release added.*
