Pampanga Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda has led the distribution of land title certificates to 60 qualified beneficiaries who were displaced by the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption.
The house titles were given to beneficiaries across the province through the joint efforts of the National Housing Authority (NHA) and the provincial government of Pampanga on Monday, June 22, at EPZA Resettlement Center in Barangay Pulung Cacutud, Angeles City.
During the event, Pineda said the release of land titles is an important step in giving resettled families the security and peace of mind they have long deserved.
The Provincial Information Office, quoting NFA, said the resettlement program was originally spearheaded by the former Mt. Pinatubo Commission following the 1991 eruption. After the commission was dissolved, the NHA assumed administrative and land-titling responsibilities for the affected families.
The beneficiaries include families displaced by the eruption and relocated to various resettlement areas established across the province.
According to NHA records, there are more than 37,000 beneficiaries under the program, with nearly half already awarded their respective land titles.
The latest distribution was held as part of the commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption, which is remembered every June 15.
Also present at the event were Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, and other local government officials.
