DILG complete PhP15-M PAMANA projects in Zamboanga Sibugay

From the Philippine News Agency (Feb 15): DILG complete PhP15-M PAMANA projects in Zamboanga Sibugay

The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) through its Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) program has completed the construction of 150 housing units for the members of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).

PAMANA is the national government's convergence program that extends development interventions to isolated, hard-to-reach and conflict-affected communities, ensuring that they are not left behind.

The housing project worth PhP15 million was constructed through the Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO) in the nearby town of Tungawan.

Eng’r. Venancio Ferrer III, PPDO chief, said the housing projects were built in three barangays namely Taglibas (50 units), Looc Laboan (50 units), and Linguisan (50 units).

Governor Wilter Palma told the Philippines News Agency that the housing project will be a big help to the beneficiary-MNLF members who are into farming and fishing as the way of livelihood.

“They live along the coastal area that seems to threaten the life of their family. With the housing project, they can live safely, comfortably, peacefully and harmoniously,” Palma said.

The completed housing projects are soon to be turned over to the identified beneficiaries.
