Subanen community of Dipolog lauded Governor Nanay Nene for the initiation of the housing project in Sangkol, Dipolog City
June 8, 2023 was a very remarkable day for the members of the Tribal Alliance Homeowner’s Association Incorporated, otherwise known as “TAHOA” a group of indigent native Subanen families of the urban City of Dipolog, seeking permanent home through a low-cost housing program.
On June 8, 2023, the dreams of the Subanen people starts to realize after the ground breaking ceremony had been initiated. The project would be impossible to kick off if not because of the invaluable support given by the Provincial Government, headed by no less than the Governor herself, the Hon. “Nanay Nene” Jalosjos. The Provincial Government, through it’s the Provincial Engineering Office provided the human resources and equipment needed for the clearing, preparation, road network opening and landscaping of the lot where the housing project will rise.
The association had initially applied for a Socialized Housing Program under the Community Mortgage Program of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), but the agency has failed to provide them the assistance they have committed. It is only the Provincial Government of Zamboanga del Norte which provided them the assistance they needed.
In their separate speeches, TAHO President Timuay Pablito A. Oros and TAHO long time technical and legal adviser, Alex V. Barrera, expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the Provincial Government of Zamboanga del Norte, and to Hon. Governor “Nanay Nene” Jalosjos, and likewise lauded for her all-out support to the housing project, saying that no other government agency had provided them that kind of support to realize their dreams.
In a brief message from Hon. Governor “Nanay Nene” Jalosjos which was read by Atty. Mark Labad, the good Governor stated that it is her duty and commitment to provide whatever assistance she could provide to the Subanen people of Zamboanga del Norte.
Present during the said ground breaking ceremony were representatives from Philhealth, the PNP Provincial office in the person of PNP Major Virtudazo, Sir Bert Pinsoy and Atty. Mark Labad who is representing the Hon. Governor “Nanay Nene” Jalosjos in her behalf.
