Samal mayor inks MOA on land donation

ISLAND GARDEN CITY OF SAMAL, July 11---  City Mayor Aniano P. Antalan representing the city government here inked on July 8, 2014 at the City Mayor’s Office, Penaplata, Samal District, this, a Memorandum of Agreement with the  Uyking Family represented by Jeanne L. Uyking for the donation of a land area of 9,953sqm covered with a Resolution No. 565 s 2014 and Res. 538 s 2014

The donated land will respectively be used for the construction of the welcome rotunda and its component road system at the Y- junction   of Barangay Kinawitnon, Babak District.

There is also a separate lot for the relocation area of the 13 families and a mosque for the informal settlers residing along the shoreline of the Uyking  property.

City Mayor Antalan was very grateful for the support and cooperation of the Uyking Family in the realization of its endeavour and commitment to the Island’s development through joint venture agreement and close partnership.

“Nindot kaayo ang inyong lugar, sigurado ko nga daghan gyud ang mo-interest sa pag-invest niini tungod kay accessible kaayo, nindot ang baybayon kay walay mga struktura sama sa jetty ug duol gyud sa Davao. (You have a very good property, I’m sure that many would be very interested to invest in your property given its open long beachline absence of permanent structure and very accessible to Davao City),” Mayor Antalan said.

The Uyking family was also optimistic in improving the area, right after the informal settlers will be moved to the   relocation site that the family has donated and  after the demolition of the housing structures in the shoreline.

As stipulated in the agreement, the barangay and the city government will allocate and source out funds for the development of the basic facilities such as water and power lines and road maintenance in the relocation area. (CIO Melrose  Arig/jmda)
