The said NCIP Officials and representatives congratulated the IPs of Gabaldon for receiving their Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title. They also thanked Mayor Emata for the 87 housing project for the Domaget of Dupina AD. RD Calde reminded them with a message, to wit:

– Kaakibat ng inyong mga Lupaing Ninuno ay may kaakibat na responsibilidad upang protektahan ito.

– And inyong Lupaing Ninuno ay hindi pwedeng ibenta at lahat ng mga Ahensya ng Gobyerno ay kinikilala ang mga ito.

– Ang sino mang may hawak ng titulo ay siyang responsable upang pangalagaan ito, dahil ito ay pag-aari ng buong komunidad.

– Ang pabahay na handog ng lokal na pamahalaan ay para sa inyong pamayanan.

Mabuhay ang mga Katutubong Pamayanang Pilipino!
