MinDA to put up 1st resettlement model for ‘Balik’ program
DAVAO CITY – The Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) has been tasked to build the first rural resettlement model as Malacañang prepares the draft of an executive order which would establish the “Balik Probinsya, Balik Pag-asa” program. In a Facebook post on Saturday, Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said during an online conference with Senator Christopher Lawrence Go which was presided by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea, all departments were instructed to initially utilize their available funds to implement the first phase of the rural resettlement program. “During the Zoom meeting, I presented MinDA’s earlier proposal contained in a memorandum that informal and jobless urban slum dwellers should (be) prioritized in the acceptance

He added that Medialdea tasked MinDA to establish the first model resettlement communities to provide a template for succeeding batches. Piñol pointed out that MinDA has earlier presented three activities where the first batch of “Balik Probinsya” participants could be involved. May 2-8, 2020 |
