Cabanlas leads ocular inspection at Mambuaya resettlement site

COUNCILOR Edgar S. Cabanlas, chair of the City Council Committee on Subdivision and Landed Estate, led the ocular inspection last Tuesday at the site of city-owned property in Barangay Mambuaya.

This is in relation to the request of the Mambuaya Barangay Council for the city to declare the property as an on-site resettlement area, an extension of the barangay site, and for other public use.

The inspection was joined by the technical team from the City Local Environment and Natural Resources Office (CLENRO) together with the Land Asset Management Office-Task Force for Emancipation of Piso-Piso Beneficiaries (LAMO-TFEPB), City Engineer’s Office, and City Housing and Urban Development Department (CHUDD), and the barangay council.

During the inspection, Councilor Cabanlas emphasized that the goal is not only to formalize the declaration of the lot and the residents’ status but also to engage in developing a comprehensive plan that would include the barangay’s improvements and school developments.

In addition to the residential road and barangay facilities that the city will declare, Councilor Cabanlas also assured that the site of the public schools of the barangay be formally donated to the Department of Education (DepEd) so that they could begin developing a plan for future improvements.

“I-segregate nato (ang declaration) kay naa na’y balaod nga ila nana. Dili nato i-remain (ang) ngalan sa syudad. Ihatag ta na para ma-transfer ang ngalan sa DepEd, aron ang DepEd maka-plano sila unsa’y improvement ibutang diha,” Cabanlas opined.
