VALENCIA, Negros Oriental-- Some 300 residents of Oriental Negros became the latest recipients of the government's land title distribution program "Handog Titulo Alay ng Pangulo" of Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo when they received their land titles on Friday, Feb. 24, 2006, in time for the 20th EDSA People's Power anniversary celebration.
Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer (PENRO) in Charge Antonio Cabrido and Register of Deeds Atty. May Flor Duka distributed the land titles in a simple ceremony attended by local officials of the municipality of Valencia headed by Mayor Rodolfo V. Gonzalez Jr.
The owners who received their land titles for free were from the towns of Valencia, Bacong, Dauin and Zamboanguita.
Valencia Mayor Rodolfo Gonzalez Jr. said the land title distribution program give the true meaning of people power where residents can now claim true ownership of their lands.
The free land title distribution program is one of the 10-point agenda of the President.
