DAR Secretary John Castriciones said a two-hectare land will be the pilot site for the housing project under the “Balai Farmers Housing Program,” a partnership with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development and other national government agencies.
The proposed P300,000-worth duplex-type housing unit has a 36-square meter floor area, toilet, electrical, and water facilities, as well as tiled floorings and fully painted interior and exterior walls.
“The Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) will have an opportunity to avail of this quality and affordable housing. Through this project, farmers would be able to have modern and decent houses to boost their morale, which may result to better crop yield, income, and quality of life,” Castriciones said.

Claim: It has been asserted that our coal truck operators are ‘reportedly not locals’.
In fact, all truck operators are local. Tendele is proud to have assisted local entrepreneurs to establish businesses. The mine contracts with some 70 local businesses, mostly operating under the Mpukunyoni Business Association.
The association’s members transport our anthracite to the harbour for export purposes. All their employees are from the hosting community, and so too are the operators on site who operate our equipment. Beyond that, 100% of our employees are South African and 87% are from the hosting community.
There are local customers who purchase and collect product from the mine and supply their own trucks and drivers. We have no control as to who they employ.
