Family donates land in Pugaro Island to Dagupan City
A FAMILY from Quezon City, with roots in Dagupan City, has donated their more than 6,000 square meters of land in the island barangay of Pugaro to the Dagupan city government to be used as the site of a socialized housing project.
The donation was conveyed by Ma. Eleanor, Archibald, Allan, Arnold and Artemio, all surnamed Pablico, of Diliman, Quezon City.
In response, the Sangguniang Panlungsod approved a resolution of Councilor Jose N. Tamayo on Wednesday, authorizing Mayor Belen Fernandez to accept the donation from the Pablico family.
The donated land is part of their 50,000 square meter property long been occupied by illegal settlers who have refused to vacate the area.
It was learned that the remaining property of the Pablicos will be converted into a family and vacation resort.
Tamayo said Mayor Fernandez convinced the Pablico family to donate 6,080 square meters of their property to the city government for a housing project.
The city government is now discussing with the National Housing Authority (NHA) as well as the Pag-ibig Fund to help build a socialized housing project whose units will be amortized by beneficiaries. (Leonardo Micua)
