MALUNGON, Sarangani – Local government officials here are up for the targeted ground breaking of the longtime awaited Mindanao State University extension in Malandag village, following the purchase of a P5M-worth land site where the campus will soon rise in Malungon, Sarangani Province. 

The lawyer, Atty. Minvelez Gulle said the setting of a deed on conditional sale was made Monday last week by and between Ronald Obanil Dela Passion (vendor) and Mayor Reynaldo F. Constantino, who was authorized by the Sangguniang Bayan under Resolution No. 11-2013-007 to transact and enter into contract of agreement for the establishment of Mindanao State University (MSU) Malandag campus in a parcel of land containing an area of fifty thousand (50, 000) sq. meters. 

Gulle said during settlement, the heirs and other parties concerned, all of legal ages and with full capacity to enter into contract, have already agreed to waive, renounce and repudiate forever all their rights, interest and participation over the said parcel of land in favor of Dela Pasion, who is now a lawful owner of the land. 

“So for and in consideration of the sum of P5M Philippine Currency, the vendor have conditionally sell cede, transfer and convey the above described parcel of land as indicated under Transfer Certificate of title no. T-43142, by way of installments basis to the local government, that upon execution of the contract, the amount of P3 million was given as down payment, while the remaining balance of P2 million is to be settled by the LGU on or before December 31, 2013,” Gulle said.

In a huddle of newsmen, Constantino have expressed utmost gratitude to all the support and assistance of the Provincial Government of Sarangani and the Department of the Interior and Local Government, as well. He also thanked Sagittarius Mines Incorporated for stretching cash donation through its education and community development programs, that was likewise used to augment the needed amount to settle the vender. 

Constantino said the project was made possible through an initial funding of P10M, wherein P2M of which came from SMI, P1M from the province, and another P7M DILG incentive to the Provincial Government, for being chosen as recipient of the prestigious “Seal of Housekeeping” award during the administration of former honorable governor, Gov. Miguel Alcantara-Dominguez and then vice governor-turned governor-elect, Gov. Steve Chiongbian-Solon. 

“The opening of schools, colleges and universities in our municipality is the key answer for students in the higher grounds to avail same opportunity to those who are living in lowlands. And so, aside having the largest number of government-paid teachers in the entire province, we will soon be having one of the most recognized universities in the country,” Constantino said.

He said the project will mark as a legacy for local and provincial officials who gave worth of ensuring the provision of quality education to poor students, especially of the indigenous Blaan and Taga-kaulo tribes who want to learn but could not afford to do so because of the distance from school - and poverty.
