The establishment of Tribal halls in Tudela are avenues to promote peace and development, with the aim to strengthen their unique identity as IPs. The Subanens have been yearning to have their own place of meeting, which is now finally granted through the project.
DSWD Regional Director Mari Flor Dollaga personally attended one of the turn over activities, particularly in barangay Buenavista, and expressed her joy for the progress involving the IPs in Tudela.
Two more Tribal halls namely, Namut and Colambutan settlement in Tudela will have their inauguration and turn over scheduled on September.
3 Day Care centers, road, and a weaving center are set for Kalahi Cycle 2 projects in the same barangays.
